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 todayā€¦ 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 unitā€¦ butā€¦ nowā€¦ 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 Iā€™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 couldnā€™t decide whether I wanted to buy the OG Clear or the Clear MG, so, umā€¦

ā€¦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!

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

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

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

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

Never good when a loved one likes your gear. My daughter fell in love with my Moondrrop Starfields, which she now possesses. She has listened to my new Harmonicdyne Zeusā€™s and has been told under no uncertain terms is she having them. That is of course, unless I find something better!

She has these and Blons, Iā€™m good with Legacy 3ā€™s and FH3ā€™s, taking her out for Mexican tonight where Iā€™m absolutely dropping the bomb and telling her UM Mest mkIIā€™s are my birthday present.

Iā€™m just happy sheā€™s happy with the $100 pair, and lucky sheā€™s accepting of the 6 others pairs of cans and iems I have, keeper.

I love the 58x as well and the best part was that I found a used pair here so i didnā€™t have to deal with drop. Honestly if I never have to deal with them again I will be very very happy.

Will be waiting for the sad post about how ā€œMy girlfriend loves my Mest and wonā€™t give it backā€.

Hi @exon Welcome to HFGF!
Thatā€™s pretty cool - congratz on your new purchase. Itā€™s kind of traditional (if you want) to take some pics, post and show off a little when you get it.

Waiting is always the hardest part, but it will be worth it, Iā€™m sure.

I thought the hardest part was not hitting the add to cart button on the 20th thing that is very close to the other things but ever so slightly different.

You know, I was thinking about adding something to that effect in, but it is pretty universal - the hardest part is keeping the money from flying out of your wallet, lol
:money_with_wings:

Good call out!
