Erzetich Charybdis

*********** AVAILABLE FOR DEMO ********* Erzetich's latest addition and new top-of-the-line headphone is an open-back headphone with a planar magnetic drive that delivers a clean, fast, big/wide, airy, detailed sound with an extreme sense of control. Despite the size and weight, they are very comfortable. Charybdis in brief * Character - Detailed yet balanced * Planar magnetic drive which is large - 105mm x 115mm * Open aluminum earphones * Carbon fiber headband * Very easy to drive (SPL: ~105dB/mW) * Cable connection - mini-XLR, which means that the cable can be replaced if you want to change the character of the headphones slightly "In three weeks, I put them on multiple headphone rigs, ranging from entry-level to uber-high-end desktop setups and you know what? They sounded excellent with all of them thanks to a higher-than-usual sensitivity. They don’t need 30-kilo amplifiers to work at their fullest and it should be clear by now why these are deserving your fullest attention. They have an immaculate technical performance, being challenged only by the HiFiMan Susvara from my headphone collection. They outperformed everything else I have on my headphone wall and knowing that you can have these for €3000 makes me a lot happier. I don’t support price increases, I support great sonics at affordable prices and while these are far from affordable, they feel this way when comparing them with close competitors. [...] If these would cost €4000, then I would still recommend them if they would cost a little bit more, then I would recommend them only for deeper pockets, but they would still get my highest Gold Award. Brand new headphones were crafted from the ground up and instead of following the newest trends (smaller drivers), they went berserk and armed these with the biggest guns that completely unshackled the sound.
