šŸ”¶ Verum One MK2

They are a little bigger, but not enough to be a concern, maybe one mm or two. I might have tried other pads but I donā€™t recall.

yeah,i donā€™t understand all this dramaā€¦but there is a lot of likesā€¦understand who canā€¦

Welp. Itā€™s unlisted now. :confused:

Yup itā€™s unlisted. I thought I did my research but many people have reached out to me about the controversy. I certainly donā€™t support that line of thinking no matter how good the product, we all on this planet together.

Itā€™s a real shame as I really do love these headphones but there are more important things than material goods. Sorry for not being vigilant everyone.

I feel like he was just a massive troll saying bad jokes for fun, and laughing at Americaā€™s new ā€œcancel cultureā€, then he got ā€œcanceledā€. He already apologized. :man_shrugging: The video is still available, for everyone who got the link, so thanks for sharing.

So I read through the commentsā€¦this is stupid, Iā€™ll take my lefty lockdown dollars and support eastern Europe. SMH I didnā€™t think most ppl here wanted ethical companies considering the amount of Chi-fi ppl buy and the atrocities committed to this day in China. Insert head in sand in 3 2 1ā€¦

He could offer a version without the simulated wood or carbon fiber finish, since i know the cups are plastic i rather have them in a single color or a generic pattern like the HD600.

Yeah whatever he said, does he really deserve to not get credit for what he does and for the price he sells it?! Also heā€™s accused of ā€œsending anthraxā€ to a reviewer, lol, no he did not. Thereā€™s a thing thatā€™s called jail for people who does that.

It actually reminds me of Bernie Ecclestone getting caught in a weird BDSM-nazi-cosplay-thing, the F1-related car companies saying they did not like that, and him replying ā€œI know itā€™s hard for you because of your situation (ā€¦)ā€. This made me laugh out loud. Why?

Wikipedia:

Although Daimler-Benz is best known for its Mercedes-Benz automobile brand, during World War II, it also created a notable series of engines for German aircraft, tanks, and submarines. Its cars became the first choice of many Nazi, Fascist Italian, and Japanese officials including Hermann Gƶring, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Hirohito, who most notably used the Mercedes-Benz 770 luxury car. Daimler also produced parts for German arms, most notably barrels for Mauser Kar98k rifles. During World War II, Daimler-Benz employed over 60,000 concentration camp prisoners and other forced laborers to build machinery. After the war, Daimler admitted to its links and coordination with the Nazi government.

The Volkswagen company originated during the Third Reich in an attempt to create an affordable car for the German people. Volkswagen used both Jewish and non-Jewish forced labor, primarily from eastern Europe. The company operated four concentration camps and eight forced-labor camps on its property.

Anyway, this is an audio forum, damn it. If you want to support him, do it, if you donā€™t, just buy these used so he doesnā€™t get cash but you get the good sound.

ā€¦even plugged in your slave-labor-made iPhone.

sincerely,i donā€™t understand this controversy.have you read anything xenophobic from this man?i havenā€™t read anything like thisā€¦

To give a recap, he made some very nasty comments about blacks and Jews, which he has tried to backtrack as having a dark sense of humor.
And then when people on the forums started nagging him on their wait time for repairs/replacements, he said he wished that they AND their families would get cancer.

At least is what I got from several forums that have since banned him.

But yes, I hear the headphones sound pretty good.

Iā€™m interested in these. Thought they costed more, but at $350 I would be willing to give it a shot. Maybe it will give me an excuse to buy something better than a Magni lol.

As for the controversyā€¦ eh. He got what he deserved - people are turned off and he probably lost potential buyers. Even so, donā€™t think putting him down any lower is a moral high ground either. Doesnā€™t seem like a very pleasant guy, but nice head pa-honies. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hello everyone, I am new here, delighted to be part of this community.

I was hesitating between ordering these Verum One or Sennsheiser HD660s.

finally and after reading a lot I have decided on the verum, I hope I am not wrong.

Do you know any form of contact with verum audio? I have written an email to verify that the order has gone well but I do not know how long it will take to respond, do you have twitter or similar or any thread in a forum to contact him?

I have not received an order confirmation email, I have only received an email from the website where the payment is made confirming the payment. Did you get an email or similar from verum audio to you? Immediately?

Thanks. The wait will be long.

Iā€™m sorry if I donā€™t write well, English is not my mother tongue.

You wonā€™t recieve any confirmation email, I ordered them on 25 Jan, recieved yesterday. Just donā€™t worry and wait. Btw I didnā€™t get any tracking info/whatsoever, just got a notify from shipping company itself when it was in my city.

Thank you, Iā€™ll stay calmer then.
Just wait, although I think they should, at least, send a confirmation email.
How about those first impressions??

Iā€™m happy with the purchase. I thought i would be more dissapointed with bass perfomance (I got fostex purpleheart as daily cans), but verum can hit pretty hard (but i saw some photos with perforated pads, i got solid pads version). They complement my fostex pretty well. Build quality is good, no rattling parts or magnets on driver, donā€™t think I will have any problems with that in future. Comfort is also good. Need more time for sound impressions.

Sorry for this question, but there is little information on the web and as I read the mk1 version went with one size and the MKII with a different one I want to make a mistake.
Iā€™ll see if I buy balanced wired to the verum for when reach me. What is Jack wearing? The two ear holes are Jack 3.5 or Jack 2.5? And the one that is connected to the source, do you advise that I buy it 3.5 or 4.4mm? Thanks a lot.

Stock cable is dual 3.5mm to 3.5mm (mk2). About cable u should buy for balanced - it depends on ur source, balanced connection can be terminated in 2.5mm, 4.4mm, xlr. 3.5mm is unbalanced.
