Got these in from drop, not even going to bother opening the box upā¦ if anybodys interested in buying these brand new without the massive wait timesā¦ let me knowā¦ will sell them at the same price as drop just to get my money back. USA only
drop is still refusing the return despite others having success on their incorrect claims on the build

Im Looking to sell mine in the UK but yeah usually check out eBay or head fi
Thx, will check it out.
Man i hate brexit, but thx for the other infos.
Got my pair in. Ended up getting a refund agreement + RMA label from Drop so theyāre going back. First impressions: positioning is neat, bass is controlled not bloatedā¦ Would not pay 3x the price of my dt880s for these personally.
Edit: they are impressively forward and detail focused though, I will give them that
Edit2: I would have no problems with this headphone for $300-$400, thereās some weird vocal quirks but at $350 Iād be happy
For what itās worth, and I know I sound like a broken record on this one, I sold my Aryaās and anandas because after modding them they just do everything they both do but better imo. If you already have them set to return, try the mod and see what you think and put them back together and return them if you hate it still. You have basically nothing to lose. The detail is a big step up from basically every sub $1000 headphones Iāve ever heard and the soundstage is second to none. @bogwater
I will have to mod it too because stock it loses to my modded m1060C. You basically removed those tunning papers and that glued
Paper? But brighter than beyers doesnāt sound yhat good. So not sure
Still not sure if itās brighter than a beyer or if I just had my volume that loud that one time because it hasnāt happened since. I have a habit of volume creep the more im getting into something.
I have dt 880s and they can get peaky in the highs but I have only took out the glued paper still have the 2 papers in the grill. I might take 1 more out to see if thereās a difference in sound. I just need something in there so Iām not worrying about dust.
Iāve come to the conclusion that, I wish I bought these at their used price like my other headphones.
Iām keeping these because I enjoy them a lot on my ifi micro bl with bass and 3d switched on.
I prefer the gl2k on the micro bl mainly because I actually find the highs to be a bit much for me when I listen to them on the asgard 3. Sounds just a bit sharp on the asgard. The micro bl gives them nice warmth while still keeping it all sounding coherent? And making them sound more musical to me.
Asgard 3 makes these sound more clear and bright to me on high gain compared to the micro bl. They donāt sound as musical in this combo. I feel I notice more resolution with the asgard 3 but isnāt as enjoyable for me compared to the micro bl maybe because it doesnāt sound as musical for my taste. Ymmv.
The emotiva basx a100 less sharp and less technical and maybe more mid forward but I like it enough to the point where Iād gladly plug in.
I donāt like how heavy they are because they slip off my head if im doing activities. Otherwise, I donāt notice the weight and the balance seems nice.
What will get me to upgrade from these would be a pair of headphones at around the same price with big, wide, deep soundstage, maybe a change in vocal presentation, and maybe a warmer tuning to the sound.
Iāve spent even more time with both my GL2000 and T60 Argon. I am still impressed by both in a way. So the sound stage of both is equally wide, but the GL2000 are big in height as well. I dunno how to describe itā¦ listening to Avatarās movie score on the Argons brings me to the very wide screen of cinema, while the GL2000 actually sends me at the actual stage between the big and tall walls and floating rocks of Iknimaya, experiencing its airy ambients.
If GL2000, with that sound stage, had the better technical performance of the Argonsā¦ they would be amazing imo. Iām still debating on keeping the GL2000, I would be missing that relaxing tuning and grand stage.
And if Aryas surpass both of them much more, then I guess my collection aināt complete yet.
I will commit to modding this thing. Any tips?
I heard that removing that felt cushion might increase treble but not sure. But why is it npt there on original
Honestly it looks like that felt is just there to silence the pad adapter.
Why?

Yeah what happened?
I understand all of the polarizing reviews on these headphones.
Iāve had them for two days now and they are my favorite and least favorite at the same time. I love the sound stage and clarity. Butā¦ They are incredibly fatiguing to me. I get a massive headache after wearing them for more than 30 minutes.
The only other headphone that does this is the Koss bt540i, except it sounds like ass.
Why? Why do these hurt so good? Itās almost slightly nauseating.
