Super thoughtful touch by Ryan with the 2 tone. Brownie points!
What a great time! Yes and one of the best sales techniques in history! These things are awesome
Yes, Skedra created the cable for Ryan. He wanted a real cable that you could use vs replace. Vikingweave makes some great cables.
Loved these at CanJam. Ordered a pair.
Also, love the idea of a two tone grill!
🍻
Great review. Try the Xduoo XD-05 Pro DAC/amp with Tungsten on it's highest gain mode (turbo). Apparently they're voltage hungry and this gain mode has plenty. The amp also has swappable op amps and you can get different DAC "cards" to taylor the sound. I'm saving every dollar I can for the Tungsten and XD-05 Pro myself. Love the sea foam colour. It matches my favourite album's cover.
Wow , will give this a try.
I'd like to get this set but don't want to get a large desk top to drive them
The parts are made of nylon of the highest grade possible
I'm planning to order a purple one (with matching cable) as soon as the orders reopen on the twenty-fifth of this month.
For amplification, probably the Schiit Ragnarok 2.
The headphones sound absolutely phenomenal
What are you pairing it with amplifier wise?
Michael keeps navigating the waters of HIFI like know one else I’ve ever seen.
Great video, I personally preferred the Double sided to the single sided but that was also a quick A/B comparison. Definitely need to spend more time with them.
What difference did you notice? Don't really see any comments about double-sided in all the tungsten review videos. Thanks
Bump
I’ve only recently been seriously considering getting a nice pair of headphones. I’m pretty sure the Tungsten is what I’m going to buy. One for my wife and another for me.
Remember to get a powerful amp lol
Gorgeous! I missed out on listening to these at So Cal Can Jam because they weren’t quite on my radar and there was just too much to see in one day, but now I really am interested in hearing them. I wonder if you got the single-sided or the double-sided version. Also love that Viking Weave cable that comes with it!
I think I've never seen you this impressed by the sound alone of any headphone.
Yes, they do take more power than Susvara. They are meant to compete against headphones at 2x the price.
Love your reviews. You make my day.
Mr. Pete---------->

Loving how much you’re enjoying the Modhouse HPs…….are these the single or double magnet version DG?
Single-sided
This was my question thx
Let’s go director!
My goodness its only 78db sensitivity what is going on here lol
So tell me , which would you hang out with the most, double sided ModHouse or open back ZMF Caldara?
Great video as always. Should definitely try your pair on a range of different types of amps. They aren't exactly power hungry per se in the traditional sense like Susvaras but they do thrive with higher voltage versus current.
As a high impedance, low sensitivity planar, imho they work surprisingly well on some mid-power tube amps and even some OTLs as well as ss amps with higher gain / voltage. Also HM-1 can work quite well but needs a hotter dac and/or pre-amp to feed in higher voltage.
The pre production ones were very hungry. But the final version are easier, however as you said, from what I’ve seen these headphones love good quality power and from what i can gather probably the most rewarding headphone of good power. It’s like torque is better than BHP. Deep power is better than loudness power.
Just got my order in so now the wait begins.
Is this dual sided or single sided? I have a dual sided ordered on nov 3rd. Super excited for it.
Side note, your "Universal Audio LA-610 Mk II" link is broken!
Single, and LINK FIXED! I actually need to do a sweep through that section. I've changed my b-roll setup to include my Nikon with a Lensbaby.
GM from Toronto ☕️
Michael, there are a couple of pad options, also you can remove the mesh covering to give you even more detail, so you can customize the sound a bit as well.
Great review as always and super nice of Ryan to customize them for you. Wondering if this was the single or double sided?
This is the single-sided driver-- and yes, what a surprise! Awesome colors!
@@DirectorsGarage Good to know. The single sided is actually quite a bit harder to drive compared to the double sided. I’m very interested in the double sided myself but I need to figure out an amp pairing before any triggers are pulled.
The SS is lower sensitivity and lower impedance, while the DS is higher impedance and higher sensitivity.
So "harder to drive" depends on your gain and current supply respectively.
My double sided has more of that neutral balance vs. the more fun tuning of the SS. Although I haven't heard the SS, but mine lacks no mid bass heft FWIW?
@@MisterKardos How might it compare to the Hifiman HE1000 Stealth or SE? Is it an upgrade or more of a sidegrade?
Hope to get mine this month. I appreciate the personal touch Ryan gives vs the ZMF hands off approach.
They need few hours to get the bass right.
The cup frame is 3D printed.
How do these compare to the Hifiman HE1000 Stealth or SE?
Please review the dual sided magnet version
How does it compare to a LCD-X?
Speaker amp?
♥
Susvara Jr.?
What amp around 500.00 would you rec for this set.
That enleum was over 6,000 i believe.
Way to much.
Any non bank breaking options would be appreciated.
Frank, I don’t know of anything in the $500 range that will push these in a reasonable way. If you are considering these, I’d actually recommend that you buy an easier to drive set, because something like the Arya Organic can easily be driven well by a $500 amp. Like the Hifiman Susvara, the Mod House won’t sound great until you put the power down. Or look to a used ZMF Caldera or Atrium. Exceptional sound, easy to drive. Thank you for checking out the channel!
Ok , thank you.
What amp would you recommend then , would consider spending more on the amp.
I have the focal clear mg and am happy with that set with the geshelli j2 and archel 3 pro and love that set up.
This set just seems so unusually good that I'd love to try them, but a 6k amp blows through the law of diminishing returns for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
One more thing ,what an great and incredibly enthusiastic review.
You'd be a great rep for mod house.!!!!
@@frankpereyda1106, Topping A70 Pro is confirmed to work well with the Tungsten.
Yes to 3.5mm adapter, Zeos pushed that. I like that if you catch a wire it won't yank the headphones off your head.
Michael, HM-1 on its own is underpowed, but if your DAC or pre can lift it it will work.
They make your head wet? What do you mean when you say they cause dampening? Or were you meaning to say they have sound damping qualities?
They provide an insulator between the cups and the band. Frequently with metal headbands the drivers can resonate sound waves through the band. This is unwanted because it will only resonate (and enhance) specific harmonics. The material Ryan chose is good because there is enough flex to absorb unwanted resonance.
Two Tungstens in the thumbnail 👀
Probably both double and single sided, no?
Is this double sided magnet or single?
Single sided with hybrid pads
They need to break in of course. 150hours is normal.
This is nonsense. No proof of such thing.
@@gavin8489 Experience is proof enough and while I didn't hear my HD650 change at all (they only change with use because the pads change) the Arya clearly changed for the better after burn in and were harsh out of the box.
