Got mine yesterday, very quick notes based on a couple of hours through Hugo 2 listening to Miles Davis, Oliver Nelson, XTC, and Ben Folds.



- Very comfortable, they don’t feel heavy or make an achy spot on the top of my head. Ear pads are just right for me. They look great, too.

- The word “musical” just keeps coming to mind. A very easy, enjoyable, coherent sound, rich and revealing, very well-rounded. Not at all fatiguing to me, and I’d say I’m pretty sensitive in that regard.

- I much prefer them to my HD650 and Oppo PM3.

- My daily IEMs are Campfire Lyra 2’s, which I love more than anything. Different beasts, I haven’t compared directly yet, but Elex are similarly musical and enjoyable and I kind of forget I'm wearing them. Definitely a bigger sense of space with Elex as you might expect.

- On brassy songs like “Long Way to Go” by Ben Folds and “Yearnin’” by Oliver Nelson, I feel like I can reach up and tap the horns that are being played right in front of me. Awesome.



More notes as I keep listening. But first impressions are very good.
