Thanks for such opinion! (and for criticism too).

[@sc0or]

By the way, how they are comparing to BD? They are well known as good devices for transparent, flat sound. It would be nice to find something similar with Verums (at least this review mentioned exactly such sound)

[@VerumAudio]

I ordered these headphones in Oct 2021 and got them delivered in Jul 2022 due to the war. I have emailed Igor a few times and got updates and understood the situation due to the war. The audio quality and comfort of the headphones are excellent for their price. They are easy to drive and both quality and punch are amazing. Highly recommended. 👏👍❤️

[@Tharbamar]

I still love it, great headphones for the money.

[@shunpillay]

While not for me, I’m amazed that you can purchase a boutique planar magnetic headphone for only $350. A decade ago $350 could barely get you a mass produced HD650. Amazing how much head-fi options have improved in just a few years.

[@lastfirst5863]

That’s what we call a pro-consumer move.

[@rmafemac]

It took a long time for the headphones to arrive. I was already impatient and wrote a few emails. But now I can say that the wait is worth it. The sound is great and can rival much more expensive headphones. The purchase is highly recommended.

[@Tharbamar]

Very nice sounding headphones for sure.

[@pierrepierre533]

i just bought these headphones and it is a pure pleasure to listen to any type of music! i highly recommend them to you!

[@SyntaxError-nz4kg]

Hello, could you please tell me what kind of music you listen to (as in the format, mp3, flac or something else) and trough what device (laptop, phone or something else). I really want to get these, but feel like it would be a waste if i get them and use them with something like a phone. I dont know much about audio, and i want to make sure how it is that people are supposed to "run" these headphones. A reply isnt imperative, yet i would highly appreciate it if you would reply, thank you.

[@SquarelyGames]

@@SyntaxError-nz4kg These are amazingly good with a phone, but they are much better with proper audio gear. Best sound I have ever heard(not an experienced audiophile though). I run them with the THX AAA 789 which is probably one of the best pairs, but I am sure you can drive them with something that is a lot cheaper. They sound great on phone too so don't worry about it. Considering they are open, don't expect them to isolate the outside world though.

[@shazzy84]

Excellent review, as always. Music lovers rejoice! Thank you

[@Tharbamar]

[@atoz6552]

It's so cool that you're reviewing headphones!! 😃

[@frederf69]

Compete well with other headphone's which cost much more & they have a very speaker like sound + very comfortable. If you change out for different pads you'll get plenty of bass/sub bass.

[@jontorres342]

Hi, this is one of the best headphones I owned. The sound is very detailed but not sibilant. Overall this a very balanced headphones not fatiguing unlike other headphones. The only downside is the waiting time..it took me 2 months to receive my unit but worth the wait. Kudos to Igor for making a very amazing headphones at such an affordable price for a planar👍👍👍

[@giovandyfernando6459]

Wow you got the newest version

[@Anteksanteri]

It's actually plastic, not carbon fiber. It's very convincing for plastic though. Probably cause the maker works in plastic manufacturing.

[@VerumAudio]

Yes, it is glass fiber reinforced ABS plastic. With this material I can achieve thin wall in cups. And with a thin walls I'll have more room for driver+reduce weight. In fact wood milling will be even cheaper in such quantities as mine, but only plastic has benefits I've just explained.

Hey man! What's name of white acoustic stands on the background? Thanks for review! I'm from Ukraine as well, and even from the same city as Manufacturer of these headphones, lol. Ordered, awaiting for them

Tharbamar! you`re a RUSH fan :o) Good review Sir, bit confused when you said about using the amplifiers speaker output jacks though, could you tell us more about this?

[@Tharbamar]

Yes I do love Rush, It just special Y cable that connect the speaker terminals and headphone jack. Thanks

[@tomaszbooz7381]

Hello Mr. Tharbamar, I like your speaker reviews, so I have a warm request to advise me on the issue of replacing the Denon RCD-M41 speakers for the better at a price of up to $ 250 - $ 300. Is the Klipsch R-41M a good choice, has 2 outputs of 30W, plus a pre-amp output for a subwoofer? I am listening softly (baroque music, Chopin, electronic music with space and air, female voices, e.g. Kate Bush), in a 19 square meter soundproofed bedroom. Thank you Tom, B.

[@matusjurcik6974]

Hi :), do u have opportunity to do sound demo of these?

[@truman5652]

How would you compare these to Sundara and which of these 2 have better bass/subbass and soundstage?

Any plan to review Audeze lcd-2c??

[@86maximo86]

Hi, the video is fantastic. I am thinking about the idea of ​​buying the verum one, I think that now the one that is for sale is the mk2, initially I was going to buy a sennheiser hd660S, which would you choose, the hd660S or the verum one? Thanks. I would like a very present means, to hear a female voice as if it were singing in my living room.

[@lastfirst5863]

I’d choose the Verum One if you must have an open-back, if you want closed-back headphones I recommend the Meze 99s.

[@ringkite]

i read a review citing 'protein leather' a.k.a. pleather, which i like as i don't want leather-- can you elaborate on the materials w/r/t this?

[@Han-Sensei]

Hi, so im new to the audiophile world, and because im thinking of ordering the Verum One's, i wanted to ask if the ifi zen dac is gonna drive them well?, Because from what i read the impedance levels that the ifi zen dac can support are from 16-600 ohms, and the Verum One's have only 8ohms so there's a bit of impedance mismatch and im concerned about the quality of the sound, can anybody help me with this please?

[@pierrepierre533]

see directly with verum audio he will answer you quickly for sure

[@czdot]

How do these headphones deal with rock and metal? I have spend a few days researching Senheisser HD600, HD650 and HD58x and I would have to get an amp. I've just learnt that Verum 1 exist and I could them drive them from a tiny SMSL DAC instead.

[@Anteksanteri]

If you don't care to wait a few weeks I can give you my impressions when mine arrive. Apparently though these are very similar to the Audeze LCD-2 with some extra high end.

[@miranhalilovic4399]

I have mine since October last year and I mostly listen to rock and metal. They do have some extra top end, but nothing to severe, to my ears they sound great, incredible detail, flat mids and great base extension (not elevated). You can drive them from a phone, but they greatly benefit from an amp especially one with low output impedance.

[@atoz6552]

Is shipment to Canada expensive?

[@Tharbamar]

I have no idea, please check with them.

[@mattialemboluscari8774]

@@VerumAudio hey! I wanted to ask you something! I have a Zishan Z2 as the main player, a burson V5i is coming along as an op amp to put the cherry on the cake... There's a problem tough: the 100ohm impedance output (sigh 😞) I read on various forum that the previous verum 1 needed clean sources with rather low impedance outputs... Would my zishan still do the trick or should I buy something else with an impedance closer to 0.1 for the Mk2 of this planar?

[@VerumAudio]

@@mattialemboluscari8774 Hi Mattio. I really doubt your player has 100 ohm of output impedance. I'm 99.9% sure it is much lower. Verum 1 are very easy to drive. Even my galaxy s10e drives them ok. But sure, as any good headphones Verums benefits from good amp.

[@cnhhnc]

Rush? That's a niche taste. A little too old for them, lol. I find that most Rush fans are in that late 40 to mid-50 year old group. If you're a little older than that, not so much. So much else was happening in the 60s and 70s. OMG! SO MUCH MORE! $350 is a great price for planar mag. HPs. It's incredible what's happening in that sector these days! As for me. I burnt out on the HP scene years ago. Gave up, more or less. Have a bunch in the fold, mostly old stuff at this point: Sony 7506, AT M50s, Beyerdynamic DT990, Sennheiser HD600, and the AKG K701, or is it 702? Pretty much old studio HPs. May try some planars at some point, but still exhausted. I watch Z reviews and often fall asleep because there are just too many HPs these days and new ones EVERY DAY, lol!

[@Tharbamar]

I love variety of music that’s why my speaker choices are always tough for me, this Verum headphones gives me enjoyment of listening to headphones again for sure, thanks
