I have seldom seen that the ratings between German and international testers are so far apart.
Those who have these headphones in the German community rave about this can (including me).
So far every international reviewer has thrown this peacock in the bin.
So either there are different sound settings, or production fluctuations, or these headphones are specially designed for German hearing = (joke) 
I think its worth comparing it to other headphones that can be had for a similar price (Empyrean can be had around $2k used) since then it shows what you can get for that price. I know that it was only a limited run, but something like the LCD-R would definitely be an interesting comparison to see with this since even though its $2500, thatās also including the amp for it so with an amp they likely come to a similar price.
Iām not throwing it in the bin.
This is a branch of the hobby (Headphones) where Audeze gets a pass and EQ advice.
Others getā¦less
I love the feel, build,cable which is beyond the likes of Focal and Audeze however it is not out of the box matching my library which I can see in your pic is unlike mine.
This is the video introduction for Peacock. Z Reviews love this headphone very much. He will release the review very soon.
I love mine, too. Definitely flawed, definitely not great for every genre (orchestral music and metal come to mind) but when they work well itās such an engrossing musical experience that i canāt get enough of them.
Upset with Zeos. He just mentioned these make the GL2000 sound like Beats. After all that hype, he isnāt sticking by his original assessment of those. Maybe I am interpreting it wrong, but I sounds like another hype train all over again.
Haha, nope. Maybe that is the problem.
I donāt see how they could be better then the lcd x that was going to be my next pair of cans I was go to for my library which is more of classic rock neu rock, metal and some rap and hip hop. Not sure if the peacocks would really out perform them.
Better or worse is not the question with these two headphones!
The headphones are tonally completely different.
The Audeze is much brighter, more analytical (In direct comparison).
The Peacock is colored towards warmth, 3-dimensionality, and an image of a significantly larger & deeper stage.
So the topic is not better or worse here, but rather the preference of oneās own tonal preferences.
In my opinion, these two headphones even complement each other, so both in the portfolio would be the ideal solution.
Dissolving and defining the musical performance, both do very well.
Now this I totally can understand but the way zeos made it sound the lcdx was nothing compared to the peacocks but I can totally agree with ya on this. All headphones have there own unique abilities and standards and thats why I started getting into this hobby because I love the music but I guess ill just have to listen to peacock to actually see if I like it for my library
While I love Zeos and he can be entertaining, I simply cannot think how one could make a purchase based on one of his videos. He usually uses descriptive words and he is very passionate about what he hears, hence the descriptive words. Iām saying that he doesnāt have the most analytical approach, diving deep into how a headphone sounds.
The love of music is exactly the decisive argument!
To ārelyā on recessions on YouTube is extremely difficult, but since I myself have been dealing with this preference for a very long time, music - DAC - headphone amplifiers - headphones, it is interesting to see how the current reviewers put their evaluation focus.
Andrew is totally on the analytical track, roughly speaking, what doesnāt have a perfect frequency curve doesnāt sound perfect and is therefore out. (Musical favors are not math)
DMS is a little more forgiving, but also tends to be more analytical. (Now and then, a little more āemotional devotionā IN the music, instead of the technology, would be nice)
And Zeos, man, heās absolutely on the emotional track, he doesnāt give a 
about frequency curves, but rather listens, combined with the sound chains, and if HI likes it, then he overflows in the emotional presentation of the product.
Its emotional form on the day is not insignificant.
(Therefore, it is difficult to ALWAYS refer to oneās judgment reliably).
Interestingly, I am at Zeos relatively often, because I want to experience the music emotionally and not divide it up on the dissecting table.
So, according to the genre, a Grado headphone can move you to tears in a positive way, while a Focal Clear is annoying.
A peacock ABDUCT you into the music, while an Abyss causes the music tracks to continue zapping too permanently because too many details are perceived as annoying too intensely.
ETCā¦
That doesnāt even mean that these headphones are bad. But perfection is not always what you want PERMANENTLY 
What I would like to say is that the Peacock is certainly more of an emotional than an analytical headphone, which I also reflect in the above-mentioned, respective assessments of the reviewers 
Now this really just opened kinda where I was going I mean I have loved music for years and if I can get sucked into music even more then now then letās go. I really do appreciate the feed back. Since Iām still new to all of this I guess itās a little harder for me to figure out where I should go but I guess at the end of the day myself would rather be emotionally tied to the music then trying to follow a graph that I honestly donāt donkey about lol but maybe I do give them a shot if they really do abduct you. I do like zeos I really do because of his attitude at outlook on things he honestly doesnāt care what others think. He is going to tell you if itās good or bad and be upfront thats the sole reason I do take in consideration on what zeos actually says I was just floored by the fact of them basically taking him to this hole different world so for that I think I might be getting them. Thank you for replying to a newbie and explaining some things for me
Just wanted to add ā by āanalyticalā I didnāt mean graphs, measurements, etc., but more of precise breaking down and explaining what you are hearing with the help of music references. I am talking very precise use of words to describe a very specific element in the music (all this to explain the sound performance, to let the viewer/reader understand what you are hearing and so they can play the same part and see how they feel about it).
Iād suggest researching into what you want from a headphone and looking at a lot of reviews in different places so you can get a wider idea of what is good for you. Creating a thread to get suggestions based on your needs and your current source gear can also really help you narrow down your search, thereās a bunch of great people who can help you on here 
Heās already released the review on his Patreon?
Yes he did.
There is a new review for Peacock. Hope it helps you know more about it.
Let the sound demo go
Full review goes live tomorrow. Good luck.
