Nice. Also, a side question. Should I get a Topping D10s DAC to pair with my Xduoo-05+? Iām currently just using the 05+ as a DAC/AMP combo.
Iām most interested to know how these compare to the Ananda and LCD-2C, both planars relatively comparable in price. Also, why release both single- and double-sided variants at such a similar price? If theyāre significantly different, why cannabilize sales with an inferior model?
+1 Honesty lol.

all i know my is that if a headphone has a lot of soundstage and a dang good amount of bass we KNOW zeos will love it
especially if its a planar magnetic
I think they shouldā¦ Will they? ā¦
Na, Dac in the Xduoo is fine. Doesnāt need addons.
I blame Society. It shouldnāt even be an option. Unless they made 10,000 single sided and then realized they sucked and made the double and now need to sell both?
If it can play Yosi Iām sold, Interlude will be my first track. Steve will this do Techno at all?
just to get a general idea of what style of sound it has is all. Though I havenāt seen you this excited over a headphone straight out, so it definitely is on my list to try myself. Your comments on gaming over it also has me intrigued as someone who uses the T1.2, do you believe this could best them in terms of performance based on soundstage, imaging, and overall signature/performance? Considering how well the T1.2, as well as something like DT 880, tend to scale and synergize with higher grades of equipment it has me curiousā¦
Considering how well you are reviewing these, I take it you would take these over the aeons sitting up there on your wall? They are another planar at this price-point after all.
Hi all, great looking review! How would one run these headphones from a Schiit magnius? Might be my first dive into planars. Thankyou.
After seeing both Zās and BGGARs reviews, I had to pull the triggers. Dudes have totally different ways of auditioning these. Been following Z for years and I have rarely seen him this excited about somethingā¦ Comparing those to the Arya and even saying they are better is a very serious claim. And considering the preorder on Drop is 100$ less than what is on linsoul, I just had to pull the trigger!
By the way guys, I messaged linsoul and they donāt have them in stock anymore which is a given, Iād say. But the important part is this - if you donāt feel like waiting until end of April, because that is when the Drop order will ship, linsoul will have them in stock again by the end of the month. Because it will cost you more, the guys ship free of charge with DHL express and you can ask them do declare a low value for you so that you donāt pay extra customs fees.
Anyways, canāt wait for these to arrive!

eh, think I will hold on this one as well just like the zeus till it pops up nearbyā¦ this seems like another hypetrain from hell. I havenāt seen any details on measurements or real indepth claims on this things sound signature everything so far has been relatively vague. That plus the fact linsoul has that 35% restock fee for just opening the box + you have to pay to ship the item back to china + you have customs feesā¦ I suppose I could buy it and sell it off if I donāt like itā¦ but whatever, iām lazy and donāt feel up to the hassle of potentially losing money. just write it down to add to my headphone collection for later onā¦ if itās as good as stated, it will definitely stay on my own personal wall
if someone has the time and hardware to throw some serious feedback on these with a detailed sound signature explaination and maybe itās measurements, please feel free to tag me as I would be interested to hear others thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.

from what I learned from many hype trains the helios being one of them jsut wait for the dust to settle as reality shows itself when the dust clouds are dissipated. personally if any ofthese headphoens show themselves on amazon thats when Iāll audition them but I dont trust linsoul enough. we still have a ton of headphones that have proven their value from the masses and the overall audiophile community to try anyway. though I am enjoying the increased amount of interest and production from chifi. and if they affect the headphone market like they did with the IEM market this could prove overall a good thing. I just dont want them copying each other again like the sendy aiva train and leave in itās tracks loads of QC issues

Zeos, youāre telling us thereās no disadvantages in terms of the sound signature of these cans? No HP, no matter how good it is, is not gonna have at least some drawbacks. The way you reviewed it is youāre giving the impression these things are literally perfect in every way.
Since you mention gaming, how would these compare vs. the TH 909ās? The 909 and 900ās are (in my experience and yours) perfect for āshit your pantsā gaming. How do these Gold Planars compare?
