It’s been around 3 weeks since I received my Clear Pro and about two weeks since I started listening with the RNHP. (Already gave my thoughts on it over HERE) Figured it was time to give my thoughts on these as well…
These are simply precise and oh so clean sounding, to use the namesake “Clear” is not a overstatement, a quite fitting way to describe this sound. The naturalness and tonality are the best I’ve heard in a headphone and the soundstage while not super wide or deep, has this very unique spherical space where the music just sounds like it is playing a couple feet around your head 360 degrees. I don’t really have much bad to say about this pair of headphones.
To put it simply, I think these headphones might have ruined me haha. They just sound so much better than most of my other cans. I find myself not wanting to listen to some of my less capable pairs when I know I have the option to just listen to these. The pairing with the RNHP really does make the difference though, I never thought a amp could make such a noticeable change in enjoyment. I might have to seriously start looking at my collection and start culling some pairs that don’t get a lot of use.
Don’t get me wrong though, stuff like the 6xx and NDH20 (both on tubes) as well as my sendy aiva still very much have their place in my listening rotation, but others will definitely need to be looked at now.
