might sell every headphone I own to purchase the Oriolus Traillii after spending 15 minutes listening with my jaw on the floor. A vocal lover's dream. The Elysian Diva were chunky and uncomfortable in my ear. no regrets instead choosing the Monarch Mk2 for both fit and sound last year. The Yamaha YH-5000SE was surprisingly light and very comfortable on my large head. fantastic imaging and an immersive soundstage, maybe worthy of the high price tag if one doesn't mind a brighter sound signature. obviously not a great listening environment and my brain was fried by the end of the day but a nice time overall with my fellow obsessive sound freaks

These are all IEMs I assume? Not for me so I spent no time there, but interesting to hear about nonetheless.

yes except for the Yamaha's. too loud and limited time for any serious evaluations so I figured I might as well just sample some wild stuff. also hard to take away anything trying unfamiliar headphones on tube amps I couldn't bring myself to spend so much on. pleasantly surprised to find most of the zmf cans pretty comfortable on the head. their room was an art exhibit
