The MrSpeakers Eon Flow are the more youthful, less expensive, lighter kin to the Ether Flow couple. Like the Ethers, the Eons are worked around custom planar attractive drivers and offered in a decision of a carbon fiber shut back outline or a work secured open-back choice. The family fondness is likewise communicated in the utilization of the equivalent nitinol headband and a similar link connectors over every one of the four models. The distinctions? The Eons cost $799 and have a revived, decreased plan that all the more nearly follows the forms of the audience's ear. Gracious, and they sound significantly extraordinary — unique in relation to the Ether models and also from one another.
In the two variations, the Eon Flows are anything but difficult to go gaga for and difficult to put down. Whenever I'm requested my suggestion for the best earphones under $1,000, I'll have the Eon Flows on my most limited of short records.
The sound of the shut Eons is stripped down and forceful, without any amenities to facilitate the audience in. The typical knock in mid-bass and lower mids is totally missing on these earphones, and that exclusion feels like an abyss in recurrence reaction to anybody used to jars tuned for more loosened up delight tuning in (which, may I remind you, is the dominant part of mankind). So I put the shut Eons on a rack for half a month until the point when MrSpeakers discharged the open Eons.
But, over the long haul, it is unquestionably the shut Eon Flows that I've begun to look all starry eyed at.
There is no other match of earphones very like the MrSpeakers Eon Flow Closed.
One of the manners by which they emerge from most earphones in the sub-$1,000 territory is their sub-bass expansion: these jars dive deep in a way that Sennheiser's observed HD 600, HD 650, and HD 660 can just dream of. I'm excessively touchy to earphones that don't give me enough bass, which is the thing that makes the majority of Grado's range and the most recent HD 660s from Sennheiser significantly unappealing to me, yet the shut Eons don't submit that transgression. They simply decline to lie about the amount of bass in my music. What's more, I revere them since they additionally decline to trade off on the nature of that bass.
No melodic classification difficulties or inconveniences the shut Eons. They stream easily between Kavinsky's Outrun, Kendrick Lamar's DAMN, Kenji Kawai's 1995 Ghost in the Shell soundtrack, and into Kimbra's Primal Heart. Furthermore, that is only the K area of my accumulation. Vocals are unmistakable, forward while never becoming strident, and they consolidate with the sub-bass ability of these earphones for an inebriating blend. Bjork's "I challenge you to take me on" conjuring on "5 Years" is passed on in its full grating disappointment, and it should be simply the earphones that beseech the audience to attempt and handle them. At the point when Kendrick's "worn out on the Photoshop" and craving an "ass with some stretch imprints" on "Humble," his voice is underlined by an additional profound bassline that gets completely lost on lesser earphones. What's more, his words are fundamentally the best synopsis for what the shut back Eons are prepared to do.
Adversary earphones in the Eons' value go are various, however most grounded among them is Audeze's indistinguishably estimated LCD2 Classic. The LCD2Cs offer breathtaking dynamism and punchy, hard-hitting bass, and I'd depict them as an open adaptation of the shut Eon Flow with better soundstage yet not exactly a similar sound mark. Audeze's earphones are considerably heavier, be that as it may, and I would never wear them for twelve hours on end like I have with both Eon sets. AudioQuest's open-back NightHawks are super comfortable and have been sliced in cost to $399, which makes them alluring as a fun tune in for bass darlings, yet they can't rival the goals and exactness of either Eon demonstrate. Sound Technica's R70x, which I as of late looked into, are another incredible alternative at $349, however they don't have the sonic refinement or material extravagance of the Eons.
To the extent adornments go, MrSpeakers furnishes each combine of Eon Flows with an exquisite hard conveying case. I'm a gigantic aficionado of its sharp looks and the assurance it gives. The separable DUM (Distinctly Un-Magical, in MrSpeakers speech) link has been enhanced from the hardened one I tried with the Ether Flows, and it creates no commotion from rubbing against garments or surfaces. It can do with further change, in any case, as the plaited webbing on its outside makes for ugly lumps in the rope, and it's likewise powerless to fraying. You get a 3.5mm end and a screw-on 6.35mm connector.
Embeddings these additional layers inside the Eon Flows made the two models sound hidden, for clear reasons, yet it likewise made the earphones less agreeable. With no supplements, the two Eons wrap flawlessly around my ear and leave exacting air between the cushion and the ear. At the point when the additions are in, my ear winds up contacting them, and that contact cheapens the marginal flawlessness of the Eon Flow's solace. Truly, the main other earphone plan that I've appreciated wearing as much as this has been that of the AudioQuest NightHawk and NightOwl jars.
I would prescribe the Eon Flow Open to anybody searching for a decent match of classification skeptic hey fi earphones that satisfies its high cost. It consolidates the light weight and usability of more fundamental earphones with a portion of the abilities of limitlessly more costly opponents. It's the normal, agreeable decision.
The Eon Flow Closed, then again, is simply the match of earphones I'd need for myself. Its courageous authenticity, pompous detail recovery, and bizarrely marvelous sub-bass execution have me somewhat dependent.
The sign of incredible earphones for me is the point at which I feel completely happy with their sound, when I lose the generally steady interest to contrast them with others. The Eon Flow Closed are such earphones. I'm profoundly acquainted with the wonders of MrSpeakers' Ether Flows, Focal's Utopia, Audeze's MX4, and Sennheiser's HD 800 S and, indeed, those more costly earphones are actually unrivaled — more extensive in their soundstage, more unpredictable in their itemizing of individual instruments, more refined and firm in their appearance — yet realizing that doesn't remove anything from my delight in the shut Eons. The open Eons persist the equivalent significantly skillful, bending free execution of the shut, however by contending along more ordinary lines, they lose the character and uniqueness of the shut.
MrSpeakers ships both Eon Flow models with four arrangements of tuning channels, which are essentially bits of precut material — some froth, some believed, some significantly denser — that you embed inside every ear glass to modify the sound you get. The thought is that they'll thicken up the bass for the individuals who need a greater amount of it and get control over the treble reaction. I attempted them all and didn't think any of them gave a change on either Eon Flow match. On the off chance that you need bassier earphones, simply purchase bassier earphones.
Neither match of Eon earphones has the fundamental sound seclusion to be prescribed for use in a common office condition, yet to work at home, the open-back variation is effectively the better pick. I can't put on the shut Eon Flow and accomplish something different: its sound is too immediate and frank to blur from the frontal area. Whichever Eon you may like increasingly — and the sound genuinely is the main distinction; fit and solace are indistinguishable — you'll need to combine it with a ground-breaking speaker. Zero chance of getting these to definitively boisterous volumes with your telephone's sound dongle. I've been utilizing the Woo Audio WA7 tube amp to extraordinary impact.
Coming back to the Eon Flow Open, despite everything I discover them remarkably charming, and they give a pleasant difference in force from the untamed consideration looking for mammoth that is their shut kin. The open Eons are the ones you purchase in the event that you lean toward music to be out of sight of your movement as opposed to its focal point. With their more extensive soundstage and gentler tuning, they're additionally a superior fit for any ASMR or binaural account devotees. Gravely recorded music or individuals hollering on YouTube recordings are likewise less unforgiving with this more tolerant combine from MrSpeakers. Not so much uneasy but rather more loose, the open-back Eon Flow is the earphone I'd hand to a relative who is quick to experiment with hello there fi earphones out of the blue. Concerning myself, regardless I favor being pummeled by the smooth mallet of the shut Eon Flow.
Without unnecessary affectations, the shut Eons have an inadequate sound that leaves a lot of air around each instrument or vocal, uncovering everything in a chronicle, and doing as such with the most extreme authenticity. An apparently minor yet agent case of this is the manner by which the snapping of vinyl (as recorded on computerized variants of melodies) sounds on these jars. It's in a split second unmistakable for what it is. On the twice-as-costly and open-back Ether Flows, the equivalent can at times seem like contortion or confusing. It's generally open-back earphones — which don't need to represent undesirable sound reflections inside the ear glass — that convey the nature of twisting free, natural, and practical sound that the Eon Flow Closed create.
The sound mark that I was at first put off by is presently the main reason I continue coming back to them. The bass that appeared to be missing at first is only uncluttered and uncongested. The distinction in bass introduction with the shut Eons resembles the distinction in how your teeth feel when setting off to a dental hygienist. The last feels unnatural on the grounds that it's not what you're utilized to, but rather it's more clean. This clinical quality, which is regularly dialect used to courteously scrutinize earphones without enough energy to them, makes the shut Eons a gained taste. In any case, give them a possibility, and you'll be compensated.
It's not on the grounds that I'm a contrarian — well, it's not simply that. At their $799 value point, these Eon Flow models are just about inside reach for trying audiophiles to m
