@@elasmojones people were showing me how ridiculous it could get in Dallas. A ifi zen stack with the xbass was wild. The schiit magnius stack with the lokius and bass shelf was also mind blowing warmth. Its pretty versatile for objectively being an extremely different headphone from what everyone else is trying to achieve.
Been finding myself lately bored of all my headphones. They are all open back/ neutral. Music sounds good, but I want some excitement. I was looking at these or the new fiio FT1 closed back...hell, just going back to a closed back is exciting. I miss that boomy, intimate sound
The Eris is boomy and intimate, and most importantly DIFFERENT. It really requires a brain adjustment, brain burn in is at least an hour of sitting in a beanbag chair and sinking it to it while watching movies or listening to some older AnjunaDeep albums.
Perfect headphones do not exist. There are only flavours. That's why I have neutral sounding headphones. I have electro static headphones, which cut through any bad recorded/mastered music. I have dynamic headphones, which make bad music sound better. Etcetera. And you need multiple different amplifiers.
You can't do what I did to the soundstage without having a measurable dip in the mids. They are still there, you just need to get use to them being a mile away.
Clickbait thumbnail.. Only 30% of people will actually HATE them.. 40% of people don't care either way.
YES
I'm super happy I'm in the 30% who absolutely love them.
The people who like the Eris absolutely LOVE them. Its a cult headphone, and I mean that in a good way.
Clever review. New subscriber. So, not great for pop vocals or jazz? What would you rec for vocals and/or soundstage? Thanks!
Honestly an HD800s if you have the money. It it still king of clarity and soundstage.
interesting take. here as the 28th subscriber :) more power yo
Endgame confirmed
How many of us have only a couple pairs of headphones anyway. I have 10 that I can see right now...Of course I want some bass cannons!

"Weh, wuh, eh, uh." That's some audio nerd jargon I can get behind.
