Awesome! They may be getting some back in stock gradually. I ordered mine on the 17th of January. Consequently, It may be a bit more time before I get my shipping confirmation. Once it arrives, would it be ok if you give an update regarding how many days shipping took? I am interested in how fast the express shipping option is that Linsoul offers. Hope it arrives fast!

I feel like I need to remind people that loctite exists for the gl2000 cup screws.

this hasnāt happened to me yet, manufacturing happens to everyone so
Funny how two out of two review units of 600ā¬ headphones have a screw looseā¦
This was the cold splash of water I needed to cancel my order, thanks. Although I donāt think I share preferences with the reviewer, Iād rather wait and see what more people think.
So if the GL2000 is between Sundara and Anandaā¦ does that mean it underperforms? Sure, they aināt hype, but are they good? I heard too much technical words from that last review lol, but Iām also a fan of big soundstage and relaxed top frequenciesā¦ so I guess Iāll be fine.

Interesting, I certainally respect your restraint and decision, though it is after all only one review and itās not like he smashed it into the ground.
The reviewerās video does paint perhaps a darker picturer than what others have. However I also know this guy to be very very technical and nit picky about headphones.
A comment from āZā himself and few others made me reconsider the reviewerās stance on it. - āI donāt measure, I enjoy, and there is no other headphone I enjoy moreā.

And hereās the bump on the train tracks thatās starting the derailment of the hype trainā¦
Iāll post a link to the ThieAudio Phantom thread for those who are curious how this ends.

Meh. I have blue tack on my L700mk2sā¦ a headphone needing a dab of Loctite doesnāt bother me (tbh, I skipped the build quality section because thatās been discussed to death). If I didnāt already have Argons for music Iād be really interested in these for music (the graph in the treble looks a lot like how the Argons sound to me). The Argons are a ton of fun to listen to and I suspect these are as well. For gaming, I donāt think these would work for me (I only play Overwatch) because Echo and Zen have crazy treble audio queues.

Iāll chime in here on this being that I have these on order as well.
I appreciate both Z and Andrew on their respective reviews. I am just getting into āaudiophileā quality of sound and so admittingly I did jump on the hype. What I realize is you have 2 very different kinds of reviews here. I do not listen to headphones to critique the sound and every subtle detail of things. I also listen to enjoyā¦hell I game mostly so yes I enjoy first.
I hovered cancelling on Drop after I watched Andrews review. Literally finger on the key to send the requestā¦but then I had to 2nd guess myself.
I was looking into the Zeus before this at 350.00 Then I decided to stretch that further to 500 range and looked at the Aeon Open X/RT. Almost ordered those too. Then saw Zās review. Nobody got as excited about those cans as Z. Itās not just Z though, itās others that have listened to them. Both on this forum and discussions on Drop. That many people canāt be drinking the crazy coolaid and just be dead wrong. Most of those reviewers (and I mean no offense to this) gave some technical remarks but basically just enjoyed the hell out of them. So, thatās what I am looking for.
So perhaps that will help others decide as well.
My ONLY true concern would be on QC. I can adjust a screw and tighten over time. No issue with that as long as the thing doesnāt fall apart. The weight is also a concern considering my TYGR 300 are fairly light. So Iām still excited to get these and see for myself realizing its a big jump from a 180 set to 580.

For anyone interesting Soundnews will drop his review sometimes next month. If youāre considering this headphones you might want to check his take on it, he has many planars to compares to and he always do a great job imo.

I appreciate your stance as most of us are here to have fun. Iāve had a lot of reviews and opinions ruin some of my gear for me. When most layman people see my setup, they go nuts. It is only in this world where I get people scoffing at my equipment. I think everyone needs to chill a bit. Not just on these headphones. I can find stuff I hate that everyone else seems to love and vice versa.

I am also new to this being an audiophile stuff. I bought a pair of sivga phoenix based on reviews. Saw the DMS review as well, looking at a different perspective. Just bought the gl2000 and only have one headphone to compare to, so thisll be fun. Got it off of drop for $549 with the help of my fam. Just looking to enjoy them.
