so what’s the closed-back equivalent to the Elex in their comparable price range?
You can sometimes find the Elegia in a similar price range. It’s still Focal sound, but slightly more neutral than the W shape of the Elex. To my ears, it’s more of a mild V compared to the Elex’s more pronounced W. For a closed back, it has a wide stage, sounding closer to open, and has good dynamics.
That’s probably the closest closed back equivalent to an elex you can get lol
They’re great fun headphones. It’s not for everyone though, they have a very prominent bass so it’s good to have that in mind. It has great slam and impact, I’ve never heard a headphone hit that hard when it comes with EDM and bassy songs (I still haven’t heard the TH-900MK2). The mids are a bit recessed but it’s clean and the bass doesn’t bleed into it, imo. I didn’t know you were interested, I just sold mine for 600 because I’m saving up for a Verite Closed in the near future, sorry lol
Well i’m always looking for new headphones that match what i like. but i’m just interested for now. based on what your saying i think i’ll do some research on these, thanks.
