Thanks for review! By the way, stock earpads are made from real leather.
Aaaah! My bad! Thanks for clarifying @Verum Audio!
It would be nice to have a sonarworks calibration profile! I dont think that they are perfectly flat ;) If there is calibration profile in sonarworks I would buy them :)
@@MarcoS-pw9px Same here!
@@jorgecorante I sent sonarworks an email about making a calibration profile! Dont know what they will say but if I get a feedback I will post it here :)
@@MarcoS-pw9px Awesome, thank you!
I just got my. Verum 1 headphones this week and can’t believe the clarity of the sound. I am hearing things in my music that I couldn’t hear through speakers and other headphones. Highly recommended.
Using Verum-1 and sold Sennheiser HD650 and Beyerdynamics dt1990pro
Great review, thanks!!
Yes I got a pair and am very happy working with them.
Thanks for your review.
I've had my pre-owned pair for just over a year, carbon finish like yours, using angled solid leather pads which bring up the bass a bit. Replaced cable with 8 Core Braided Silver Plated cable. Totally agree with your assessment, they are fantastic headphones.
Thanksgivings for the video! Love the verum 1 - i have them since last December - and i can do everything without Sonarworx - and that is so cool!
I LOVE my Verum 1's. Super communicative maker as well, clearly takes pride in delivering a high quality artisanal headphone at a reasonable price where others might be gouging. Definitely worth purchasing, I would buy a second pair in a heartbeat.
I have heard from reviews 3 years ago the the Verum 1 had several problems specifically imbalances has this problem been fixed?
I must say that I am in love with Verum headphones and want to thank both to creator and to you.After many years of buying and selling headphones up to 1000$ price range these are my absolute favourite so far
Great review Dom very interesting about the difference and price been to their site and seems like a lot of headphone for the Dollar. :-)
HOly shit. The design of these headphones is brilliant! Those 2 screw based systems for changed the headphone frame is amazing, and I wish all other headphones had this in them. Would love to see a visual meter guide comparing these 2 cans to see how similar, or whatever, they are. Like the dude from Scan Pro Audio did a while back with other similar mixing headphones.
FYI from tests done on headphone software correction software.....try using Goodheartz CanOpener plugin after the eq correction software. As it really does something positive to the bass that cleans it up, which in turn makes the mid-range more apparent tme, and the crossfeed section is amazing and a must have fore cans! The guy from Scan Pro Audio turned me onto that. Then I noticed a few other people in my community using it as well in their mixes. Great tool for all headphones, but can be dangerous if you don't know how to use it. So reference Scan Pro Audio and see if there's some relevant info for you there.
Thanks for the review Dom. I mainly use the Beyer 990 Pro (250ohm) for mixing and 770 Pro (80ohm) for tracking. Would the Verum 1 enhance my experience?
More princess Leia earmuffs! Hahhaha!
It's good to see positive reviews still coming out for these headphones. I love my Verum 1s. I bought my pair as part of the kickstarter. For me they're the ultimate techno cans. I put ZMF swede Ori pads on them, and it darkens them up. The bass timbre is phenomenal, especially lower and sub bass. You can really hear the structure of synthesised bass lines. I also have some Gold Planar GL2000 (double magnet array), and when it comes to timbre the Verum 1s are in another league. The GL2000 beat the Verum out when it comes to imaging, you can tell they're more tuned, and they're brighter and so excel at electric guitar, 70s and 80s etc. But for techno/house, reggae, hip-hop, anything with bass, I choose the verums every time. I listen to them 3 or 4 times a week, and they're holding up good.
I also bought some HarmonicDyne Zeus for £300, and I consider them a complete ripoff when I compare them to the verum that cost me £270. I'm actually thinking of getting another pair of verums, to see if the latest models sound any better.
What version have you got ? And how many versions is there ?
@@saren6538 I got the original verums, from the kickstarter. Afaik there are only 2 versions, and the only difference between them is the headband. Might be worth double checking that though, he might've made some driver improvements. Also the guy that makes them lives in Kharkiv, so not sure what his production capabilities are like atm.
I have heard from reviews 3 years ago the the Verum 1 had several problems specifically imbalances has this problem been fixed?
Thanks a lot for the review, Dom! I'm currently using the HD600 most of the time and the DT-770 for bass and isolation (and I have many others too which I don't use much). I wonder if these would be better sounding and more comfortable than the HD600. Having not much hair brings extra problems with headphones 😅
I have both the 770s and HD650s- these sound completely different- planar headphones have a very wide soundstage - I still keep the other two- these will definitely bring an additional flavour to your monitoring!
@@DomSigalas Thanks for the advice, Dom!
I really like mine; I had to wait a while to get, over covid, but it was worth it!
Not only do they look fantastic, thet compete well with headphones costing 2-3 times as much $$$ ✌😎👍 good sound stage/ image, very good detail retrieval; macro & micro. No issue's throughout the entire frequency range. + they have rumble! Can't go wrong for $349. They are a steal/gift 😉😉
Hi Dom, is Verum 1 able to do Dolby Atmos mixing as good as the Behringer DT 990 pro can?
Hey Dom, what about this one: Neumann NDH 30, for mixing and master, is like nobody talks about them, and I cannot find any on-point review about them! Thanks
Dom, have you experienced the Audeze MM-500 headphones?
more videos on mixing in dolby atmos please
I'm absolutely not in the market for new headphones, as I just bought a new-pair of open-back Sennheisers, but I'm thinking seriously about these now. I wonder what the lead time on them is, however?
If you bought the HD800s, they are way wider than LCD-X, and Sonarworks also have a profile for them so be happy. If you bought HD660s, LCD-X is wider and more detailed than HD660s. Hope it helps! I own those three.
Hi Scott, get in touch with them before you order- in my case they arrived in about a week even though they told me they would arrive in a month!
@@joseluishernandezseptien Hi, i also have the HD800S and also the HD600 but what Sonarworks does with the HD800S is cruel man! Not at all a correction for these great headphones. You just need a dedicated DAC and pre-amp like the HDV820 to not having those hyped highs which they are known for and enjoy the very “natural response” which will be gone with Sonarworks default measurement for the HD800S. Cheers
@@patrickalphenaar Thanks, Patrick! I don't know if I would describe it as cruel... The difference is barely noticeable actually so I don't use it often. It helps the bass a little bit. I think Sonarworks does a better job with the EQ of HD660s and LCD-X.
I use the THX AAA Dacamp that has built-in EQ when I want to adjust it myself. The HDV820 is extremely expensive for what it is in my opinion but sure, it should make the HD800s sound a little better. Remember, I am not talking about pleasure listening but using them for mixing and mastering. Also there is the Morphit app that has a freqency response curve for them. Hope you like that one better if looking for a flatter response. Cheers!
@@joseluishernandezseptien Hi, Thanks! Yea there is a huge difference in my case when using Sonarworks therefore i dare to use the word “Cruel”. The bass level it adds is distorting a lot! When analyzing the Frequency response of the HD800S its just extremely flat from 40hz up to 500 with not more than +_ 0,2db difference so also very very boring to listen to. Below that yea its rolling off quite fast but Sonarworks doesn’t fix that while just boosting. The phasing in the top end is just unbearable. I also use it for mixing and Mastering. I use Antelope Orion 32+ as DAC and HDV820 as Pre-Amp and its an awesome combination. I dont need to use any correction software as my Room sounds somewhere between the HD800s and HD600 so i know i am good. Just learn your Room, Gear and you’ll compensate automatically. Cheers
Thanks, good review. How much do they cost here in britain? Can't get an answer from VA...
Strange. I'm trying to answer all questions. 349$. No additional charges. Worldwide shipping is free.
So. I don't get it. Verum sound flatter and better, but if you have money get LCD X?)))
Exactly what I thought
How do you download different profiles for the Audeze LCD-Xs ?
Saving for Lcd-x!Soon my dream comes to me!🤣😛
You’ll love them!
Hi Dom, I own the LCDX for mixing.... but which headphones fo you like for recording vocals?
I really like the Steinberg ones (even though they’re not sold separately- light and very good sounding and isolate fantastically), the Beyer 770s and the Yamaha HPH. I want to get some Sonys MDRs too at some point.
@@DomSigalas cool! I like the atm m50 sound great for recording but the isolation is not the best, in the other hand the beyerdynamic 970 great isolation and comfy sound good, but for recording I wish they sound a bit more inspiring and alive
Speaking of scoop......Focal Pro headphones are horribly scooped in the higher mid range and man it took all the excitement away. Even with SoundiD correction they just sounded horrible to me. I sent them back. I was highly disappointed because I love my Focal Evo 65 monitors. Great video Dom..
I have sold all my headphones. 650, 1990 Pro, Lcd-2. Verum is killer! But for recording get 770 or 7506. Thanks Dom! Best reviews!
This just makes me so confused. I have my studio in a caravan and I’m not in a position to treat the room as yet. I am putting aside $700AUD for headphones and just don’t know which to get. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Dom. Absolutely love your work. 👍
Hey Phil, watch my video in the description for my personal favourites :) I go deep into their pros and cons!
@@DomSigalas I saw that just recently. I will definitely watch again. 👍👍👍 Thanks!
The verum 1 ffs
You should try the Audeze LCD X (2021). It’s even better than the old LCD X. The older LCD X has more bass but the 2021 version is more detailed in every way.
I've heard this from other users as well! Good to know they've improve those areas. Of course, having paid so much money for them, I am not thrilled about getting a new pair with incremental changes. Sound ID does a good job at balancing them but I will look into upgrading in the future maybe :)
@@DomSigalas - As a Pro-Musician (as yourself), when you hear the incremental differences, you’ll reconsider lol because those incremental differences are closer to perfection (and that’s y I’ve sold my previous X to buy the 2021 version). However - I’m curious to hear the Audeze mm500 🧐..
There is also the new Audeze MM500 that might be the actual upgrade from LCD-X. But they are more expensive and will hit the market in August I believe.
@@BrJD-ii4iv I am sure! The truth is I have a super wide selection of headphones so the LCD-Xs + SoundID work very well. If I manage to get a hold of the new ones and can justify the price I will probably upgrade but I will need to hear them. Unlike other headphones, anything that is over $1000 should be demo-able in my opinion :)
@@DomSigalas - I 100% agree! I had bought the lcd 5 and I was unsatisfied with the clamping force, the pads, and the weak bass. I sold it immediately. Never again will I spend more than $1500 for a headphone. I currently have the LCD X (2021), Sony MDR Z1R and the Klipsch HP-3.
5:12 sometimes I got reminded that being bald is a blessing especially when you're in this headphone hobby
Hi Dom，Can you make a video, compare the same plugins in hareware and software version, are they actuly huge diffrences? Thanks
Dom please get the Hedd Audio Heddphone on loan from HEDD and do a review.
I’d love to review those!
LCD-X 2021 sounds a bit better and a bit lighter than previous revision.. quality of verum is super cheap unfortunately, i was dissapointed, but i guess you get what you paid for. So it by far not lcd-x killers, at least for me.
I've heard this from other users as well! Good to know they've improve those areas. Of course, having paid so much money for them, I am not thrilled about getting a new pair naturally. Of course, for one quarter of the price I wouldn't expect LCD-X build quality but this is to be expected. The sound was very solid though.
New Avatar :p
Suggestion for LCDx killers: Focal Clear mg pro ! I *beg you* to try them and share your impression. I have them, and they kind of compete with the Utopia ! I can't imagine working without them. I did not try it at the moment, but they also seems good for Atmos mixes and likes. The only drawback is how much they bleed since they are fully open.
that lcd x is not a 2021 pair, it's a older pair
Yes it is, I talk about this in the video ;)
mm-500
They basically sent these to you for free?? Really?
short answer is no
you don't correct the LCDX, theyre perfect the way they are
Fan of the channel, skipping this video. Doctor's orders, to fight my gear and plugin acquisition syndrome! ;-)
Hahahaha got to do what the doc says!
So what about the racial comments the maker made and claims that he was now disgusted with himself and had to re educate after his disgusting jokes about people of color and the black lives movement and you advertise his product like that does not matter really !!!!!
It really doesn’t? Sound is sound. Like your name, your comment is irrelevant
I'm with you. He's a racist, he'll never get my money. His customer care is aggressive too according to reviews.
Interesting product... but a look at the manufacturer's website was then a bit deterring due to the presentation of strange ideological political statements
You call "strange political statement" speaking about agressive war started by Russia against my country?
@@VerumAudio You, like everyone else, are being lied to.
@@BrianDRidgway can you be more specific?
@@VerumAudio If I speak the truth here, I will instantly be banned from RUclips. What I am hinting at is this: The real players making the decisions are not Lie-den, Puke-in, or Zelenski.
They are actors who make no decisions. They are all given their scripts every morning. By the same people.
@@BrianDRidgway no valuable information from you. RUclips is an open platform and ban only for insults and hate speech in comments.
Get a hair cut 🤣🤣
Get some life :D
The creator of this headphone is racist, antisemitic, transphobic and been banned on many hi-fi forums. Would not recommend.
Wow! This is the first time I hear of this! I did a quick search and found this though: www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/customer-service-issues-with-verum-brand.8023/page-2 Somebody mentioned in on the premiere as well. Like I said, I wasn't aware of the incident but it seems that the company has officially apologised for the mistake of that intern.
@@DomSigalas Dom keep going. There was overwhelming evidence that the “intern” was actually him.
There’s too many complaints and not a smart business decision to let a intern run a business account. Apparently a lot of people came forward and said it was actually him.
Read the "apology" page on his website. And as for being an anti-semite: he is Jewish! That alone makes me question the veracity of all the claims on forums.
@@ScottsSynthStuff wow thanks for this Scott! Obviously, I have zero tolerance for racism so I am happy to hear that!
I'm always wondering why I'm called antisemitic when I'm a jew and transphobic when I never even said anything even remotely connected with LGBT? Just for lulz?)
I have heard from reviews 3 years ago the the Verum 1 had several problems specifically imbalances has this problem been fixed?
All problems are solved years ago. Now Verum 1 are among the most reliable planars on market.
@@VerumAudio I'm new to this whole audio thing. What's a good DAC headphone amp to pair with the verum one MK2 possibly the gishelli's or should I go with what the custom maker suggested? I think it's called a s*** schitt modius and Madonna's. You know what I mean. The entry level DAC headphone amp Gishelli was taken aback when I had mentioned that the verum and the ageless as well as the BASN were low impedance. I hardly know what I'm talking about but I'm just asking these questions. What do I plug it into the Gishelli or just go with what the guy from Ukraine suggested? Appreciate you
Common! I tried them both! The winner is Audeze for sure! But if you cant spend money you can buy Verum, but I will prefer Beyerdynamic DT1990 for that price!
