I got my Ada today and I have big channel unbalance. But like really big! On a Fiio app on Btr7 could fix it but I can't use it with my Aune s17. Out of the box left channel didn't work at all until I connected and disconnected cable several times. But unbalance is just crazy.(I tried many different cables so it's not a cable) Tomorrow will try to return and will wait for Verum 2 Also box where headphones was packed is very small so pads was really compressed and deformed. In the box also a letter that headphones was inspected and a name of a person who supposedly did it so I just wondering how it's possible that they inspect it before sending and miss such unbalance. So for the price of headphones +46€ delivery, +24 € customs to Germany it's really not worth it! I just hope return delivery will be covered in refund.

They're very, very different headphones. The Adas aren't really like anything else in terms of their physical design (on-ear, simple, light weight, etc.) but also they're sound. They're more fun and more mid focussed than any HiFiMan headphones and they're more compact and portable than the Verums or HiFiMans. Sonically, the Verum 2 is maybe stronger across the full frequency range and a bit less mid-forward, but not better - just different.

When I say stronger, I mean the V2 doesn't have the roll-off that the Adas have so they're a bit more complete in their frequency response. As for treble, the V2 is a bit brighter, but both have excellent treble quality so neither is prone to sibilance.

@Passion for Sound, could you possibly do a video comparing IEM's/headphones that cost around $3000 AUD with a pair of Stand-mount or bookshelf speakers of equal or similar value. I really want to know in general, if spending similar value on pretty highend IEM/headphones, vs speakers, which sounds better? I realise this is a difficult ask since speakers especially vary in sound quality vs value for money but your opinion in general would be much appreciated.
@PassionforSound
4 ай бұрын
Yeah, that's a really tough one! I think the biggest challenge is the source chains needed. You can get $3000 headphones to sound amazing for way less money than $3000 speakers in terms of amplification. Also, IME $3000 headphones are close to the top level you can go while $3000 speakers are still relatively entry level so the headphones will easily win on technicalities. Beyond that, we're probably talking about the feeling of speaker sound vs the feeling of headphone sound and that's a whole other topic 😁

@@PassionforSound Very true. I love the sound of the IEM's I have except I miss the bass feel.

As I'm yet to buy the sub and I'm thinking either the SVS 3000 micro or SVS 1000 SB Pro. Both can be controlled via an app. I'm wanting the subwoofer for my speakers anyway but as I'm yet to get it, I'm not sure how well that would work, especially as I prefer IEM's that seal out external sound.
