Should I recommend a $1000 headphone based on a 3 minute listen...

using unfamiliar gear and music I would normally NOT listen to?

At a trade show? At a booth that's in a freaking TENT yet?

OK, I won't.

But I will say there is a very good chance that I will soon be replacing my Sennheiser HD-600 after 10+ years of happy ownership.

And that based on a 3 minute audition, the new FOCAL Elear sounds pretty good.

The Elear which is currently under review on my site is outstanding and a game changer in its price category.

So far my favorite headphones. They have astonishing tonal colors. If the Elear is more comfortable with a better soundstage and better voice seperation it could really be something amazing.

If you get them let us know what you think!

Well, you can. But I would think that we should probably take whatever you have to say with a grain of salt at this point in time. But I wish you luck with your new purchase. And please let us know what you think after some extended listening.
I would agree that the new Elears look good, seem well built, and have garnered some extremely interesting reviews.

- not if you can't hear them in your own system - Frihed89 07:49:31 10/10/16 (0)
  warning based on bad experience. Just remember that reviews are based on the writers knowledge of how their components sound, and they don't always tell what didn't work/sound good. Generally speaking, it's wise to look at their listed components, to see what equipment they didn't listen with.
