This is the comparison I was looking for as well but apparently no one has ever considered it.
I’ll let you know when I get my phantoms. Since there are no frequency graphs of the phantom its a total mystery to me, but they say its non fatiguing. What I dont totally love about the 4XX is the highs get too sharp for my ears at least for music. For videos it generally great.
He kept the foam. Only thing he did was remove the grills.
Hopefully he checks this thread or tries it himself and makes an update video on his modding progress.
I should have made a more detailed reply. On patreon, I asked him that question too, since he didn’t mention the foam behind the earpads in the video, and he said to keep the foam there. He said the tuning was fine and it is the grills that are the issue.
Did anyone on the Patreon happen to ask ZeosPantera’s take on the Phatoms vs the Hifimans he just reviewed (Edition XX, Arya) or to other planars aside from M1060s? It would be awesome to see comments vs He4XX and Sundara.
Yeah, the Sundara would be a good comparison since they are in the same price range.
EDIT: I just found a thread going about this topic. Thieaudio Phantom vs. HiFiMan Sundara
Unfortunately, no. But if someone here is a member of his telegram they could probably get a response or maybe he’ll chime in here eventually.
The Sundara are coming up… You can see on the sound demo of the phantoms that he mentions that the playlist is the same of the Sundara’s. So we just need to be a bit patient for the comparison between “THESE” and the Sundara.
If the Sundara’s are still working by then 
Just wondering, has anyone had to RMA or had to deal with the manufacture for return or repair regarding the phantoms? At least hifiman is prudent about their warranty
And if you don’t want to be patient (like me) sign up for the patreon 
No issues yet i’ve heard of, the diaphragm is German made and the cans come with a years warranty…not sure on the return postage protocol though, mine came via Linsoul UK through Amazon UK so hopefully if there’s a problem it’ll be sorted?..200 units so far and no issues?
Well this is what you get from their website
Until someone uses it and lets us know, guess we are in the dark.
Is there a possibility to get a boompro cable like the vmoda but for this cans?
the new audeze gaming headset has a boom mic for it, but sadly they dont sell the cable alone
Order placed. Let’s see what happens first. Two more 789 drops or delivery of this…
Mine took a while to come…But got them finally…Im in Singapore so maybe not too far to come…the Drop P1’s and TFZ #3 I ordered seem to be bouncing between GZ and SZ for the last 3 weeks…so need to chase that up but not sure who to contact yet…guess Drop first up.
Any place with frequency graphs of the Phantoms? So odd that no one has put one up yet.
I’m actually ok to wait. I was waiting for the M1060c to be available on the Monoprice UK store so this has now taken its place.
Best place to contact people for packages typically are the carriers
Anyone else tired the grill removal mod? I originally tried it and wasn’t that impressed, but with all this “they sound better sans grills” I might give it another go?
Bump?
