amazon price for the double is 639 for me. While the drop discount price is 549
They are big cups like HE K. Feel the padding pushing against my teeth. Sound is a wall Iād say. Bass is really good. Midrange seems fine. the treble does not seem to sparkle. I could play these loud and mids and highs do not hurt. No veil sounds clear. These are really good for me. If you listen to exclusive mode on Tidal it changes the bass, midrange and treble. I am using Chord TT2 and Woo WA33 the amp is not really colored lets the headphone shine through. The balanced SET amps you donāt end up with the super tube sound of OTL. Once I get bored of the first set up Iāll switch over to my OTL setup and see what some Tung sol 5998 tubes do. If you like fun headphones because of bass then these will do. If you want to experience that Arya big sound these seem to do it(personally I found those boring weak in the low end).

We are both doing the same experimentā¦roughly. I read a lot of hype about Clears and watched 2 videos and not a single song was referenced to. This is music gearā¦
I am curious what graph folks and non music dosed reviews pan out to be.

final day on drop preorder. Should I pre order or wait for more reviews?
Itās big hype around here and countless videos Iāve watched. Iāve wanted to try for a long time. I was originally looking for a production reference headphone but Iām hoping this is a great all arounder. Iām so glad ur getting both at the same time as well. Iāll be testing against 600ās, 6xx, Beyer 770ās 80 and 250, Grado Hemps and Ollo s4x and the Gold Planars which is my first listen with a planar. I have a good idea of what music to test along with my own cuz I know how it should sound, excited to say the least.

Iāll have Focal Clear and GL2000 so some specific time stamped moments of some stuff will be interesting to share with each other.
Regardless of opinion about Clear it will be first YT video using music to evaluate Focal Clear. I am buying blind after 3 vids on the net. No real idea what they were talking about as it was mostly citing graphs or using wide arching terms like imaging (sans the track which woulda been nice 
)
This is perfect timing. We agree or not is irrelevant to my goal, Iād like the record to reflect two strangers with same gear using same music came to________conclusions.

Absolutely man and a different perspective between us because Iāve seen so many and done so much research on here Iām glad ur coming at it from almost no pre conceptions. Stoked for your video. Iāll post them on here when I get them tomorrow, took the afternoon off. Iāll share music as well cuz thatās really what Iām about here. What a weekend weāre about to have.

But you have to wait probably till March to get it. Mine will arrive probably at the end Jan. so it would take another month. But iām thinking about it tooā¦ did get back the full amount you paid from Linsoul? how long did it take till the money was on your bank account?
