Can a suite of improvements and software features be enough to warrant users to upgrade to the Gen 2? Or should potential consumers wait for a potential Gen 3? Let's find out!

Great review!

[@collinsvisual]

Hi love the video. When you are listening to the headphones at a higher volume can people on the outside hear your music? Thanks!

[@audio46]

Audio bleed is not a concern with these. The most someone may hear is a slight hum. Hope this helps!

[@geekatari4391]

Thanks for the short and concise review. I am interested about how the sound quality compares to the Edifier Stax Spirit s3. I had a weekend to try them out and they sound super fantastic to me. I'd like to know your opinion.

[@audio46]

Thank you for watching I'm glad you enjoyed! Two areas where I feel the S3 outshines the Gen 2 are in comfortability and distortion reduction. The cushioned leather on the S3 encompasses the ear better than the Gen 2 so longer listening sessions are going to be more comfortable on the S3. The S3 also contains planar-magnetic drivers which significantly reduce distortion which I personally really like a lot since I do not have a very high tolerance for distortion haha. The S3 is a bit more expensive than the Gen 2 however so take that into consideration when making your purchasing decision.

[@geekatari4391]

@audio46 thank you for your reply. I tried the S3 for a weekend and exchanged them for the Hifiman Ananda Stealth that are comfortably priced now that the Ananda Nano are out. I am going to use them with the FiiO BTR7.
