********* FINNS FÖR DEMO *********
Erzetichs tidigare "top-of-the-line" (ersatt av Erzetich Charybdis) hörlur är en öppen hörlur med en planarmagnetisk enhet som levererar ett rent (låg distorsion), stort, luftigt, detaljerat ljud med bra botten.
V2021-versionen av Phobos har en uppdaterad design, med nya CNC-frästa aluminiumlock till kåporna och ett huvudband av kolfiber. Jämfört med Phobos V2018 är ljudet nu mer kontrollerat, fast och detaljerat. Dessutom har den blivit lättare.
Phobos V2021 i korthet
* Karaktär - Detaljerade men ändå balanserade
* Öppna lurar av lindträ
* Huvudband av kolfiber
* Kabelanslutning - mini-XLR, vilket innebär att det går att byta ut kabeln om man vill ändra hörlurens karaktär något
"In the end, Erzetich Audio took an already excellent sounding headphone and hammered down all the imperfections that I had with them in the past. Their metallic cups should resist a lot more use and abuse and their carbon fiber headband add some high-end flair to them. More importantly, several quality-of-life changes were brought to the surface and you can now use them with smaller or bigger heads and you can lie them flat on your table if you please.
Apart from this, this is the same good-old Phobos that sounds big and enveloping, while toning down brightness and listening fatigue. Transparency and detail retrieval went up and nasty distortions and driver rattles went down, improving their timing and control especially at higher volumes. In my case, Phobos V2021 checked many boxes and I’ve used them in most of my DAC and headphone amplifier reviews that I’ve posted in the latest months. I find them easy to drive and easy to like, as system matching isn’t an issue anymore, as it can be the case with several high-end headphones.
Considering all the improvements made to their build and driver assembly, I cannot continue without awarding them with our highest badge. Gold Award is fully deserved and I challenge you finding a more interesting sounding headphone in the ~€2000 price bracket."
