> 3 dayFantastic detail and sound stage. Impressive dynamics and frequency range. Comfortable and not as heavy as its perceived by many people. Can easily have it for a couple hours fine. Im pairing it with a Topping E50 and L50 stack, they are perfect for these cans. Is it worth the price? Probably not for casual listeners, if you want some of the best professional level detail retrieval, these are definitely the right choice.

> 3 dayThis is the “best tuned” Audeze IMHO, it’s the closest to a Focal Clear MG in terms of neutrality and accuracy on the frequency response. However it contains a better wider and bigger soundstage.

> 3 dayI bought these headphones through Richer Sounds Amazon store. Im very happy with my purchase. The sound quality is beautiful, its rare to have such rich, organic and natural tonality with such clarity, its usually a trade off between one or the other. Vocals and instruments sound real, an acoustic guitar sounds like someone is sat in front of you playing an actual guitar, just stunning. The headphones are easy to drive and are very comfortable for me. I should imagine you would have to pay a lot more for minor improvements of the sound quality of these headphones

> 3 dayI purchased these as an open box. Running through my system with an RME DAC (add bass shelf an tame one peak) with either a tube amp or my solid state, these rival much more expensive headphones. I alternate back and forth between these and my ZMF Verites, which are more than double the price. The ZMF have better stage, more bass impact, and slightly more resolution (SLIGHTLY). Overall technical qualities are maybe 10% better on the verite.

> 3 dayAn absolute joy and a total upgrade coming from the hifiman sundara. I wasnt even aware they would come with this absurdly robust case but appreciate the bonus. I dont know that this can be topped. Maybe top level stax or abyss but those are 5x the price.

> 3 dayI spent some time listening to and comparing my current multiple conventional dynamic headphones, all with broadly similar sound, in the $99 to $350 price range. This activity inspired me to wonder what owning better headphones might be like.
Audeze"s exclusive Planar Driver design has lower distortion
Diaphragms thinner than a human hair
We use space-age materials in an ultra thin diaphragm four times larger than typical headphones for fast response times, dramatically reduced distortion, higher resolution and improved imaging.
Near zero distortion
Double-sided magnet arrays delivers a uniform driving force across the entire diaphragm for near zero distortion.
Internal waveguide
Patented Fazor Elements guide internal headphone soundwaves to avoid resonances for a more accurate waveform.
The Audeze story
Audeze started in 2008 in a garage (of course!) when its founders came across a revolutionary flexible circuit material developed for NASA. Realizing this could be a great advance in planar magnetic technology, they first started to make pro audio PA speakers, but dropped this project and started making headphones!
Taking this first headphone to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, it was a tremendous hit, and that success launched the company. Hanging on that garage wall was the 2001 Space Odyssey poster, and that inspired the company’s name. The founders wanted a name that had something to do with a “journey through audio,” so Odyssey would be perfect, and that’s how the name Audeze (pronounced “odyssey”) was born.
