Thatās exciting. My interest is super peaked on these cans.
What other headphones have you owned? Curious what you are comparing them to.
Howās the sound stage and imaging on them? Do you get a 3D image or are there dead spots?
Soundstage the Argons win. imaging its a toss up between a few others. Ethers, A2000Z maybe T5p. The high end boys.

I have to wait a bit. @skedra from VikingWeave Cables is making a cable with supposedly the normal adapter. So I want to see if its possibleā¦ THEN I will destroy them.

For everyone asking questions about these, Iāve been listening to them since I got them yesterday. I obviously need more time with them, but I think Zeos said it best when he saidā¦
āthis is another THX AAA 789 momentā. āI didnāt know closed backs could do what these doā.

Waiting on Zās review of the HD 820. Curious to see if he thinks these are better.
Even as a glasses wearer, the pads donāt bother me at all. Maybe a little warm and sweat a bit but thatās it. Had them on for probably around 4 hours straight last night and I just move the headband an inch back or forward 1 time. That was it.

I have: Argon mk3, t60rp, b&o h6, hd58x jubilee, m40x, shp9500, monoprice retro, tin t2, and status cb1. They have soundstage in my opinion. Not as much as Argonās. Imaging is excellent and accurate. Iād say thatās the word for these headphones in general. Accurate. Granted Iām no expert here, but to me they are dead in accurate in every way. Nothing exaggerated. Probably 3 - 5 of of my other headphones are going to be getting sold or gifted to family because of these.

There is a substantial difference in cost, but for me, the sound is what matters most. If the HDās are more comfortable and sound better, then I image Iāll probably opt for the HD 820. If the Neumannās sound better then itās an easy call to make. Itās a win for owners of either one.

I hear ya. I can tell you I am going to be more than satisfied with the Neumannās for a long while. Finally. Everything else I have I felt was just missing something. Not these.

Thatās great to hear. Enjoy your new cans, my friend. In the end itās all about the music. 
How do these compare tonally to the HD650 or ZMF Atticus? Any upper bass to mid bleed? Any of that weird bassy sound you get when people talk like it you set the crossover too high on a subwoofer?
I donāt know how they did this in a closed back can its just a closed version of a super hd6** can the vocals mids are so fucking good. bass is present and musical* (thats the way i like to call it) im listening to tool and its amazing and im only on my phone lg v40. These donāt sound like closed headphones w t fffff. I think i like them more than my eikonsā¦ I need more time to collect my thoughts and gain more experience.

For anyone looking for a good stand, this monoprice one looks like it was made along side the NDH20s. Matches really nice and very good quality for $15 (or $12 when on sale)

Iām thinking about cancelling my DT177X order and getting these instead. I really wish more outlets would review these. So far I havenāt seen any other reviewers with same enthusiasm as Zeos.

Well, i can tell you id be perfectly content with these and my Argons (and probably my B&O H6s just for travel) and selling everything else that i own (6 or 7 other sets of headphones), that is how good they are at everything in my opinion.
Well it turns out I canāt cancel that order even though it wonāt ship until Octoberā¦ āÆĀ°ā”Ā°ļ¼āÆļøµ ā»āā» ā¬āāā¬
For some reason it will still let me cancel my 789 order though.
