Erzetich Charybdis Review - A New Dimension In Sound

[@Soundnews]

Blaž Erzetič of Erzetich Audio just informed me that the promo code mentioned in the video was too long for his online store so he changed it to SOUNDNEWS, which should work. Let me know if it did for you.

These are some mean headphones with a superb design. I only got to listen the Phobos and i was impressed by their soundstage as it made my Audeze Lcd2 feel like a semi-open headphone, i mean i was lookingg over my shoulders every time a sound appeared. I see that the sub-bass area got improved too, and with an even greater soundstage these are gold!

[@MagnitudePerson]

The bass is on par with the Solitaire P. not as good as 1266 of course, but slightly under. I would rank them alongside the Susvara Solitaire P, but for such lower price in comparison, it makes it a MUCH better value

[@vonBaronX]

Just testing them against my 1266 TC, the bass is good in the Charydbis but they are far from the bass of the 1266. The midrange and soundstage is great. Still, I'd rather stay with the 1266, the guitars sound more aggressive and the bass kicks harder. Still, I don't think they have competition up to $6k.

@@vonBaronX haha what a stupid move to copy earlier comment xD

[@frederf69]

Please review the Sash Tres headphones? They definitely don't cost an arm and a leg ✌🎧👍 Not sure about the fixed cables. Good review, thanks 👏👏

[@zenboy2000]

A great review dude. But, the dangling connector cables add an unnecesary point of failure. Essentially a non removeable cable, maybe if there's a revision with the connector intefgrated in the ear cup.

[@zenboy2000]

Vindication, there is now a version with the cable connectors integrated, you see, it could be done.

[@halimj7]

Great review. What are your top 3 headphones for dynamics?

[@hazi5961]

These look nice and the sound signature sounds appealing...but those mini xlr connectors dangling from the bottom of the cups is a dealbreaker IMO.

[@Soundnews]

As the company owner explained, there was no room left in the aluminum cups, as the drivers are massive, hence leaving connectors outside their cups. This wasn't a big deal for me.

[@zenboy2000]

They could have been attached to the lower rear 45 degree angled side of the ear cup.

[@zsoltdemeter2557]

Greetings! Please tell something about the Charybdys in comparison with the TH909. I look for an upgrade to my 909. Thanks.

i can’t get over the fact that you have a primavera. so cool. i’m so jealous lol. it deserves more attention than it gets.

[@Soundnews]

I hope you checked my Primavera review (it went live a month ago). I was saving for Primavera for a while now, but it was all worth it in the end. I prepared a stash of tubes that should last me at least 12-15 years. Follow your dreams, you can do it too.

[@verbatim_transfer]

i definitely watched your review for the primavera. i really enjoyed it. i had stopped searching for reviews of the primavera after a year of not finding any on youtube. it was probably longer than a year. this amp is at the top of the wishlist for headphone amps. however, the dac pairing is what i’m worried about. i like non oversampling digital filterless dacs. i don’t like dacs that alter the time domain and then attempt to correct it with clocks and other gimmicks. i prefer the unaltered time continuum that audio note uk and sw1x dacs offer. but idk if these dacs would pair well with the primavera. anyway, hopefully one day i’ll own my dream system.

[@HUSTLEONLY-kz5bf]

Could you please tell me, where you got that headphone stand? It looks so premium.

[@tedmanasa907]

First, you deserve a lot more subscribers. Great reviews. I bought a Burson C3XP largely because of your review. You’ll get those subs. Second, this is the first headphone review that I laughed out loud to: When you first showed what these headphones look like on your head, the dangling leads made you look like Princess Ambidala lol. Anyway, great work, thank you!

[@HercahyoAdiSaputro]

Have you tried ZMF Caldera or Final Audio D8000 (non pro)? How does those compared to the Charybdis?

[@anjovandijk9797]

Awesome headphones, can I have the same experience with headphone listening with a speaker amp to headphone converter box connected to the binding post of my amplifier instead of a dedicated headphone amplifier, your answer could save me some extra money.

[@Soundnews]

Of course you can do that, just make sure to use an integrated amp (or a power amp in conjunction with a preamp), lower the volume and connect your headphones AFTER you powered on your amp. Actually, all integrated and power amplifiers around the house have been tested with headphones, including the Chord Ultima 5 and Benchmark AHB2 in dual-mono mode.

[@narayananmmenon339]

Can you review SMSL SU 9 pro?

[@carlosamlgo4863]

Y cuál es tú top 3 ?

[@MRFUTURETECHNOLOGYGAMING]

The only thing I don't like is the dangling connectors that looks like a failure point to me and there is no thumb Screw or something To prevent them from being Accidentally detached from the Headband when adjusting them I am pretty sure the hifiman susvara Was designed to not have a limit of how good they can sound That's why they have such a low sensitivity so they can do that I'll have to sell lots and lots and lots Plasma and my other headphones to afford this the pain will be worth it to me

[@soulfulfool]

construction with those dumb rods as Grado design is the most frustrating for me, I own Phobos v2 and hate that design it feels cheap it spin around like stupid... it sounds good thats why I keep it but build and those awful pads are a failure

[@danielguderian4649]

man, sounds really interesting - if it only wanst for the weight... I am literally afraid of it

[@Soundnews]

Honestly, these are highly comfortable for me. I can stand the LCD-4 maximum for an hour, but these worked up to 3 hours no problem.

[@danielguderian4649]

@@Soundnews does this include the neck? it looks like excellent weight distribution, but isnt that some wear for your whole upper body?

[@vonBaronX]

Just testing them against my 1266 TC, the bass is good in the Charydbis but they are far from the bass of the 1266. The midrange and soundstage is great. Still, I'd rather stay with the 1266, the guitars sound more aggressive and the bass kicks harder. Still, I don't think they have competition up to $6k.

[@InCerTo_AntiFragile]

Can you tell me what your amp is? Did you all test with the same amp?
