Post Description / Background

So, black friday came around and I saw some deals I just couldn't pass up on. Long story short: Here I am with my trusty companions the HD 560S and Monolith M1070 switching back and forth with two newer contenders the Ultrasone Edition 11 (I am curious, too!) and the cult favorite Focal Clear OG.

I have had the chance to listen to the Clear for a couple days now while the Edition 11 just came in today, so keep that in mind. Headphones I've owned/auditioned for more than a few minutes, but are not on hand anymore include: HifiMan Sundara, HifiMan Ananda, HifiMan He400i 2020, Philips SHP9600.

Anyways: if you have any questions or wish for comparisons, I'd be more than happy to oblige :)

Happy listening, everyone!

Would you mind sharing your experience with your 1070s? I was super close to pulling the trigger on them for my first over-ear planars but went with dekoni Blue s to experience that. Numerous flaws pointed out in most of what I read, but those huge drivers! Tell me friend, how do they sound? Thx 6XX, dt770, letshuoers12,dx3 pro+

I like them. They‘re pretty narrow stage-wise which is something that might be a turn-off, but they sound pretty good. I‘d recommend equalizing them though, as they are quite muffled and someehat bass-lite without. But they definitely can rumble and sound pretty clean to me. Plus, the lesther pads are super comfy (although the HP can be a bit heavy)
