I test the Verum 1 Planar Magnetic headphones for listening and production

I'll tell you my opinion on the looks, quality, comfort and sound of the Verum 1 headphones. And then I'm going to let you *hear* them. But how can I do that through YouTube?

Lol ! Did you see the headphone stands for sale on their site ? a very miserable Mr Putin at the Hauge ! interesting video....cheers.

Thanks both for your praise and criticism. And yes, my supply of fancy looking black anodized screws was emptied. And during a war it's not the easiest task to get such things. But recently I got some and couple of weeks production units are with good screws.
p.s. Not, it's not a real wood. It's a texture made by aquaprint method. But I'm glad you had doubts ;)

I LOVE my Verums far more than any my previous headphones. They are my "mini Magnepans." :)

[scottlowell]

I was one of the original purchasers when they were introduced. I found them quite good, especially for the price. Most of the sub-$600 planars i listened to were lacking. They tended to easily run out of gas, or have a steeply rolled off treble and no impact.
The Verum 1 compete with planars in the $800-$1200 bracket.

You can use cables that fit denon ah-d 9200 as replacements.

Extraordinary pair of headphones. Ordered mine in jan 23 and Igor told me they'd arrive 6-8 weeks later, and so they did. Clear across the frequency range. No bleeding between bass, mids and treble. Comfortable. I can wear it for hours on end w/o any fatigue. It looks as if sound came into focus across the board. Just love them. Doesn't exagerate anywhere in the frequency range neither bassy nor shouty or piercing my ears with boosted treble, yet clear (said it before haven't I?). Just great. Prefer them over my Focal Elegia's. The left face plate bent a bit as if it were a tad bigger than the circular "woody" ring. Totally recommend them. Truly outstanding.

You know, you don't actually need those heads, to record a decent demo of headphones... You just need to buy some wearable binaural microphones, that allow you to use your OWN HEAD as the testing head.

They're reasonably cheap too, 'bout the same price as a sennheiser headphone, 200 dollars-ish, i think... If i remember correctly, that is. >_>

There's another youtuber that does that... i forget what he's called, and my subscription list is so vast i don't even know where to look, lol... Gimme a moment to skim through real quick...
Ah, "Oluv's Gadgets" is the youtuber i speak of, not only does he test headphones using his binaural microphone earbuds, but he also tunes IEM's.

Anyways, those types of binaural microphones that he uses, should be affordable! :]

"Unless your head grows" 😂😂😂. Best line in the video, in my opinion. Really enjoy your videos, keep them coming!

[Hypurr]

Love my Audeze planar magnetic headphones. Mine are closed back so I can take them with me.

[john]

On the Verum website, those rough Posidrive screws are replaced by small Allen bolts!

[hartyewh]

Heads growing is a known issue in the hobby so certainly a minus😅

[vendelius]

I Always enjoy your videos... thank you

[marklloyd]

I think they sound angdlic . Much like your voice

[lights]

Everytime I watch one of your videos, I'm always in 100% agreement. We are either spot on or way off, lol.

[jimawhitaker]

You're actually very likeable brother keep on keeping on ;-)

Actually, "Verum" is an adjective and should be more accurately translated as "true", not "truth", wich in latin translates to "Veritas".

Igor kickstater for updated/new model Verum 2 a few weeks ago, far surpassed goal and is currently active for additional backers.

Thanks for reviewing these great headphones. Greetings from Ukraine. Thank you for your support and help.

This man MUST be related ( somehow) to Paul McCartney!

[jasonbrookshier]

I love the depth of your review, but the music example towards the end was horrible. Either way, thanks for the information.
