Pictures of Pandora Hope 6
My BRIEF impression on the sound (warning: I'm a fanboy, so I'm biased
):
Haha, same with you, i pre-ordered the headphone, waiting it to arrive asap!» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

What do I think about the sound?
WARNING: this is a prototype unit...
Well, let's put the blunt weakness upfront.
1. The BASS.
IS FREAKING LOOSE.
On some tracks, it is really loose, not tight, flabby, and overpowering. I felt like listening to radio. Somehow on some tracks, it DOES muffled the overall clarity. I guess this is a really big part which the later series of Pandora Hope could improve. 50mm driver may be too loose. Do you perhaps want to install Tesla Driver, Mr. Takai? Or increase the impedance of the headphone (but that'd defeat the purpose of BA, I guess)?
2. The VERY APPARENT and DISTINCTIVE sound of BA and Dynamic
is like (unnamed hybrid IEM). You can really hear the BA sound, and the bass on the dynamic driver. It's too apparent to my ears, and I guess it's due to me getting too familiar with Heaven 6 that I can notice anything I hear differently is due to the dynamic driver.
How about the GOOD things?
1. SOUNDSTAGE
is OMG WUD?
Disclaimer: I'm too fond of IEM, so maybe I feel that way due to the more "openness" of headphones, but...
It's wide, but that's not the selling point.
IT'S really layered. Like, in "You Give Love a Bad Name" (Bad pick of song? Haha. I guess so, but I like this track), you really feel the layering of drums, other instruments and also Jon Bon Jovi's voice. Everything is arranged more orderly.
2. JUMBO BA-esq sound
is like HEAVEN 6 MAGNIFIED
You will feel that the BA driver is the star, and the dynamic driver is the supporting cast, the Robin. The BA sounds so huge (i mean, it sounds so close to Heaven 6, the difference is that the sound "feels" bigger). Detail? Check! Treble? Refined. Mids? So beautiful! Bass? Err...Can we skip the bass, please? Clarity? Eyes wide opened!
Do I like it? Man, I pre-ordered it, so there's definitely BIAS when I answer that I really freakin' like it. Well, you may find your reason to not like it. To me, as I was listening to PH6, I was thinking, why not more headphones install BA driver now? It's really a whole new world of sound to my ears.
