I was able to choose these earcups from several sets. Originally I went in wanting purple, but this set caught my eye and wouldn’t let go. I love how the cup is exotic with a heart of natural wood. Reminds me of the VC itself with the marriage of very down-to-earth wood with exotic Beryllium coared PET drivers to make the magic happen. And that cool black outline that almost looks like cel shading, lol.
I posted a few impressions over on the VC thread. Short version is that they defy their closed-back nature and have sounded amazing with everything I’ve played, unlike Eikons which I love for certain music types (vocals, acoustic genres), but aren’t my first pick for everything.
