So around 2-3 weeks ago I ordered a pair of MH Tungsten. Call me an idiot as it was a complete blind buy but the hype around them is kinda real. A 1499-1999$ pair that rivals headphones double its price sound promising, only issue is you need a nuclear reactor to power them.
Did anyone here order a pair too and already received it?
Mind to give a short „review“?
Have a read on head fi, there’s a few people on there who have done write ups.
They’re supposed to be pretty fussy about amps, partly down to the low sensitivity, but also because of the unusually high impedance for a planar, which makes them very voltage hungry instead of current hungry like you see with most planars. Interestingly, based on what little I’ve read this means they can actually play surprisingly well with OTL amps (which are notoriously bad with planars due to their poor current delivery) thanks to their ability to easily push a lot of volts.
Yeah I’ve red the head-if forum too but that’s basically the only source of information I could find…
It’s surprising that such a niche headphone isn’t talked about more on audiophile forums. Well maybe the 12 week waiting list is the reason lol
Understandable considering there’s probably not many more than 50 Tungstens floating around excluding pre-production versions. Mine arrived just last Friday with a card indicating it was one of the first 20 double sided.
Should soon see some reviews coming out on yt from Zeos and others. There’s also currently a fair amount of discussions going on in telegram audio channels, which is how I first found out about it 4-5 months ago.
