I don't need a high end headphone. All the refinement this gear brings is way beyond my listening abilities. Yet I still watch it because I would watch Darko analyze even a refrigerator.

[ibassnote]

Everything about your channel gets better and better with time. It is a study in refinement. As a professional musician and as a person with a high interest in “things” I am constantly inspired by your use of language and personality, for lack of a better word, to bring us into a space of critical considerations. I think I am going to have to join the paetreon circle out of sheer appreciation for all the work that goes into what you and your team do here. Just excellent work. Thank you.

i gotta be honest, i would not walk around in public with those cans 1, they look expensive and in my region of the London underground district line that would be like having a 'mug me' sign on your back. Reason 2 They are for me too CYBERMAN...Playboy Cyberman in my personal those that dont know what a cyberman is look up Doctor Who Enemies on wikipedia.

[leisureavidgentleman]

I love the look of them and my preference is closed back. So I may have to give them a try.

[fief]

I bought the PX8 's because you recommended it. I still have it on. I drift off every now and then but when you start playing music on your videos I pay attention. Thank you!

[jarekharmening]

John, thanks for making headphones reviews. I'd like to see more of them (and make them longer). I wish you would have gone into comfort and maybe some more comparisons of the headphones from different dac/amps you own. The real treat of this video was seeing Berlin and you/your stylish clothing choices.

[ExMeroMotu]

These prolly sound fabulous but the practicality is what keeps me at pause.

[robberthilgeman]

Great to see you out and about and get a feel of the Berlin urban texture.

[arrakian]

I would’ve loved to see John compare this to the Denon AH-D9200.

[warfam_clan]

Many people have said that the Denon 9200 is as good as the Stelia. The Biocelulose driver is the star of the show. This comparison with the Liric would be interesting, especially as the Denon is 1400.

Lookout people! Audiophile Badass walking the streets of Berlin. 🤟

Don't know why this particular video hit me with its excellent videography and sound quality but I just have to say it made me smile and MADE we want to see and hear more. Hats off for the excellent production values. One of the reasons I like this channel so much. Also I notice a distinct improvement to how you sound when talking in your room with the new acoustic treatment in place.

Headphone listening is not my main thing. Speakers are the way to go. With that said... I love my Meze 99 Classics when I do listen at home. I loved your review on those several years ago. Thanks again for another great review.

[FilipinaVegana]

I bought one of these yesterday, but not so much because they are great-sounding headphones, but because I got an excellent deal on them used.

[allansh]

I wouldn’t risk using them on the street. My Focal Elegia was killed by a tiny droplet of rain. I purposefully tested that before I decide whether to take out my Stellia.

[nnn-vx]

Man I love the Euro approach to music. So much classics so alive there still.

[meta]

Hi, love the content and have been a quiet fan until now. I've recently reached some kind of endgame for my speaker system and am focusing on headphones now. I have the Susvara and Stellia, have been curious if there are driver / build types I should have in the collection as well to deal with more diverse kinds of music.
Keep up the good work.

[samsstuff]

Really interesting to watch even though all of these are way beyond my willingness to pay for a set of headphones at this time. So much good information to use when auditioning next cans, so thanks again. 👍

[denisruskin]

I would be scared to use 2K headphones on the street. I mean, most people wouldn’t know they are 2K but they do still look premium.

[dennismanning]

Ya'll be careful crossing the street...busses don't care what ur listening to. Never-more on my bicycle.
Love headphones
