Cool how much was it to preorder? When I was looking around, I only found them for 139.90 even though it looks like the MSRP will be 109.90?
*Edit - or did you order from Amazon?
Haha sounds good.::::’
I ordered on amazon and total with state tax was 118 msrp on amazon is 109.99
Audeze headband to retrofit onto m1570’s.
Curious to see how that ends up working out 
Yeah they’re definitely a lot heavier than the SHPs, but the suspension strap has worked perfectly for me so far. Clamp is strong but I didn’t find it overbearing. My only points of comparison are SHPs, Bose QC35, and ATH-M50 (Non x). I’d say clamp is harder than SHP and QC35, less than M50.
I haven’t thought the pads were all that hard. I think they soften up as they sit on your face because they’re memory foam I believe.
I’m really liking them thus far. I’ve been gradually going through my library of favorite albums and playlists and so far everything on them has been lovely
I have had mine on for quite a while. Still comfortable. I find them a little “muddy” compared to my best headphones. Lots of bass though. I am running them through rock and pop. Will probably run them through a bit of jazz too.
For the last hour and a half I have been using a Vali 2 and now I am using a Liquid Spark. I am enjoying the Spark more, but I am probably also adjusting to the sound of the 'phones.
I wonder if the SP200 would improve these or make them unlistenable?
I’m just listening on my iPhone right now, because I don’t have a dac or amp yet lol.
I would think that it would probably help? Though I don’t think they’re particularly hard to drive, so it might not make a significant difference haha
They are fairly easy to drive, so an amp would help but not make a huge difference or anything imo
