Back to the sound….the mids are very present and not at all recessed to my ear.
It sounded exactly the same as my dad’s (tuned warm with detail). I received my very own set about a week later. As far as this goes, he’s the only one in game that I know of. If you don’t love it, you send them back and he’ll tweak them for you. He will literally tune these exactly how you want them tuned. Ordering from John is a truly unique experience. Pumped! I sent my dad’s to him and he immediately echoed our thoughts, it’s his only headphone now as well. I sold the hekv2 the following day and ordered my own XTC biowool open back. ‘Dude, if you only want one headphone you could easily sell the hekv2 and have some dough left over for other toys’. Her next words were exactly what I was thinking. My mind was pretty much already made up but you know how it is….always nice to have a second opinion. And she goes nice a deep.Īlex looked over at me and asked for a trade, 45 minutes later we took some time to chat about the XTC and how it compared. You know, the smile on your face geeked out as hell place! As well textured as hekv2, never boomy or wooden. Perhaps a fraction slower overall, but the bass quality was very similar with the XTC having a bit more where it counts. Obviously it’s difficult to compare DD’s with Planars but the XTC was going toe to toe with the hekv2 in pretty much every way. The more I listened to both the more I was impressed with the XTC. I was on the hekv2, she the XTC for about 45 minutes. She was here in 20 mins with her Soloist and Gryphon (audiophiles lol) and the sonic porn commenced. But after a half hour with the XTC I called up a friend in the hobby and asked her to come over and check this headphone out and to maybe AB with the hekv2. I've definitely been on the planar bandwagon for a while. Ive also spent many hours withAnanda, Arya v2 and Stealth as well as Focal Clear, Clear MG and a few Audeze open backs. My favorite headphone that I’ve owned is the HE10001v2 non-stealth. Put them on and was very pleased with what I heard. I plugged them into the old Burson Soloist xp using a ifi Gryphon as a DAC. Build quality is very impressive and aesthetically they’re show stoppers. I accepted the trade on my dad’s behalf and away we went! I received the XTC at my house and opened it up and was struck by how gorgeous they were. I had been interested in this headphone for some time and John had helped me out with a defective Magni and a Modded gh40. We put them up on the board and quickly there was a trade offer or a like new XTC open back Bio wool. This all started when my dad wanted to sell a set of headphones.
I have listened to a ton of headphones though.
