don’t hear much talk about these guys (r10-p), so I will let you guys know what I think

ShaneD · July 30, 2021, 4:05pm

Dynamic or planar?

sa11297 · July 30, 2021, 4:14pm

Oh right, planar

ShaneD · July 30, 2021, 5:03pm

You sir are a high roller!

SM_Music · July 30, 2021, 6:23pm

Damn that is one IEM I would like to try. Congrats!

Bmn1251 · July 30, 2021, 6:25pm

its really great , got it in yesterday

SM_Music · July 30, 2021, 6:26pm

I if recall correctly, they are discontinued, so not easy to get.

Bmn1251 · July 30, 2021, 6:27pm

i think so too. got mine used, and some others on here have had them

Pokrog · July 30, 2021, 6:31pm

everytime i see the pricetag on those it makes me want to 3d print a whole closed back cup or grill cover for my he6.

This brings me back to when I started collecting headphones. Decided on that beyer sound instead of the Senn HD650 I was considering back then. Here I am more than a decade later.

First pair of Sennheiser, the 58x and currently cleaning them.

So this guy arrived today… pretty dam impressive!

Sounds great with my more recent purchase of the HE6SE v2. However, it has been something truly rewarding when trying other various headphones like the DT800 600 ohm. Boy does that headphone scale!

I currently have the Singxer SA-1 and I can remember how impressed I was with it when I first bought the unit… but… now… there is a new king!

Not entirely sure why my audio journey has gone in this direction, but I own an RNHP and a Bifrost 2, and then I’ve even bought upgrades to each of those components, but I never managed to complete the HifiGuides set and buy myself a Focal Clear.

But now, I finally bought a Focal Clear!! Except, I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to buy the OG Clear or the Clear MG, so, um…

…I bought them both. o.o

I want to say a huge, huge thank you to @lost33 and @11_Clouds, who both were very easy to buy from, they shipped quickly and packed everything really well, and wow both of these headphones may as well have been brand new. Like, they came with all the accessories, the boxes still have their desiccant packets, and they even kinda still smell like a factory, lol. I can definitely recommend buying from either of them in the buy/sell thread!

11_Clouds · July 30, 2021, 8:30pm

Thanks so much man, I’m glad they got to you safely, enjoy and let us know how they compare.

11_Clouds · July 30, 2021, 8:36pm

Legacy 2’s arrived, sound quite good on first listen, girlfriend is hooked

exon · July 30, 2021, 8:41pm

My first ever audiophile thing. A moondrop aria, it’ll arrive on the 10th of augest and boy I can’t wait

lost33 · July 30, 2021, 9:16pm

Thanks Ryan!

Do yourself a favor and try to get balanced cables where the Soloist performs best!

Rick_Jones · July 30, 2021, 9:26pm

Yes indeed. I have a few hart cables I use with my headphone collection

TkSilver · July 30, 2021, 9:28pm

So what I am reading is that your 2nd pair is going to be ordered soon since those are no longer your Legacy 2.

DaveE · July 30, 2021, 9:56pm

Love the 58X. I use them for monitoring purposes. There are much better 'monitoring ’ headphones out there, but I love them for the mix between precision and musicality. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
