A huge thanks to Marek who sent me some headphones from his collection, with such a huge overview he has with different kinds of headphoens, he is also the 1st one to receive a SpX-R sample and maybe can give us his honest feedback soon.

Among the headphones he sent are:Verum TwoEdifier Stax Spirit S3Grell Audio OAE1Monoprice Monolith M1060CMonoprice Monolith M1070CFiio FT1Fiio FT1 ProHifiman Ananda StealthHifiman Ananda NanoHifiman Sundara Silver EditionHifiman HE-R10DSennheiser HD 300 ProSennheiser HD 380 ProSennheiser HD 200 ProSennheiser HD 400 ProSennheiser HD 700AKG Q701Sony MDR-1AM2Razer Blackshark V2 XBeyerdynamic T90

I will try to demo most in my podcast if somehow relevant, I didn't try them all yet, but so far the one that stood out most was the Grell Audio OAE1 which sounded so bad that I was shocked how Mr. Grell could also tune the HD600. The ones that somehow stood out in a positive way so far were the Sundara Silver and the Edifier Stax Spirit S3, these were definitely closest in sound to the SpX-R with studio mode. For those owning these, the SpX-R sounds more similar to these than to the others, just more even overall with better bass extension at least to my ear. The Edifier sounds a bit closed and basslight, mids appear a bit hollow, but still quite natural sounding, way better than the commercial crap from Sony, Bose and Apple and I think it's quite cheap now. Reminds me of the Audeze LCD-1 in terms of looks etc. Verum Two seemed to sound worse than the Verum One MK2 I own.

Let me know which you are most interested in to hear and compared to what... I will try to maybe prepare some simple database with all headphones being captured with the same tracks. If there was someone who could prepare a simple webapp quickly that would allow to A/B 2 audio tracks side by side that would be definitely helpful.

"Verum Two seemed to sound worse than the Verum One MK2 I own". Very interesting, reviews say it sounds much better, I'd like to hear it

They both do not sound really good especially for a 500$ headphone

I had the stax s3 for about n hour and i realy didnt like them. But i also had a real strong channel inbalance. But for me, an Bluetooth headphone without NC Just doenst make any sense. I realy cant use it outdoor and for indoor, i have no Problems using wire.

It sounds quite mono and hollow and treble is not really even but it still sounds more natural than most other Bluetooth headphones I have tried at least this unit here.

I think doing midnight listening session and covering them all would be just the easiest

what a package :D huge thanks to Marek for his support!

Jan Christmeier

Mono and hollow. I completly agree. It Was Just 140€ on Amazon at Black friday, so i thought, why Not give it a shot.

I recently tried Edifier Stax Spirit S3 and it sounds pretty good in stax mode, natural and exciting. Just a bit hollow as you said. But still it was the best closed back I tried until now.

For me, the q30 with the right eq is better. It has a little bit too much bass, but if i had to decide, i would take the q30. Also, because it has ANC.

I own FT1, not the pro version. Well built, nice package. The sound is...OK for the price, but it gets much better when you apply some eq. Nice mids, not very boomy, but treble sounds weird. I think they are better than K361, but far from being perfect. I'm really intrigued by the last Fiio JT7. Really cheap, planar and graphs seem pretty neutral.

Simon Hibbert

Agree. How cool of merek to do this too 😎 be very interesting comparisons ever done i think

Ben Leesley

Really looking forward to your thoughts on many of these. Even the Razer headphones! As a friend of mine had the Razer (it looks the same but I don’t know if it’s the same model) and I thought it sounded so weird! Especially in the treble.

A really crazy headphone collection and there are some really interesting models included. I am very excited to hear your opinion on the Fiio FT1 and the Sony 1AM2. Unfortunately these are the only interesting models for me in this package as most of them are open backs, which are not suitable for my usecase. I tried several different modelss of Razer headphones at MediaMarkt and one was more horrible than another. The Blackshark was also not good in my opinion and the look and feel of these is very cheap and bad i think. It would be absolutely great if you could maybe get a hand on the Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X, the Focal Lensys, Adam Audio H200, Meze 99 Classics V2 and the new Teufel Cage Pro or Audio-Technica WP900. . I don´t expect any Headphone to be really good in your Opinion but instead of simply justing them it would be more interesting to know which ones you deceide to be good enough to get something good or great out of it with an eq.
