I’ll try it with a small first impression of the Emphy II.

What can you say, first you have the visual impression and this Sunset Boulevard Edition model looks great,

then you put this work of art on your head and it literally disappears because of it comfort.

And right from the first musical performance I played, this Can immediately shows his greatest strength:

this incredible space and stage.

Width, depth and height are enormous for headphones, and everything that is presented is crystal clear and precise.

Each instrument sends out wonderful reverb trails that are brought together in the depths of the room to create a fireworks display of sound.

Until yesterday the Sennheiser HD 800S was my first choice for classical music, but it has now found its match.

The thought that there were now headphones that could finally satisfactorily perform the more modern grandmasters on the huge stage made me try Pink Floyd next.

A band that I always prefer on my stereo system, as so far only very few headphones have been able to reproduce this gigantic sound experience reasonably well and can still reproduce the rather untalented voices of Waters & Gilmore acceptably.

How should I describe it when a grown man sits in his chair and has tears of joy in his eyes?

These qualities alone make these headphones stand out, plus there are many other things that make this can a “want to have” item among audiophiles.

First of all, it has to be emphasized that these headphones sound good on an Ifi Audio Gryphon, for example, and they scale excellently with every step up in the amplifier rabbithole.

Ultimately, the bass reproduction develops into very deep, clean and defined.

I’m also thrilled that it’s technically possible to reproduce a huge stage without cutting out your eardrums in the high frequencies.

_**(Hifiman, take this as an example).**_

Is this the best headphones ever?

Certainly not, but it is an excellent all-rounder with an outstanding stage performance that does not place too great demands on the upstream components.
