    Thanks. Tracking says I should have them on Wednesday. Seems I can enjoy them on the weekend, and ship them out on Monday.

    I just dropped these off at UPS, and should be in the lucky little hands of @JoshMorr on Wednesday.

    This has been sent out, just pinged Ice the ups tracking - he will have the headphones Thursday.

    Thanks for including me on this tour! While this is a great headphone, I concluded it was not for me. Some will love, others will not. I was about to purchase this before the loaner program came out, and because of the loaner program will have saved myself quite a bit of money and effort. Viva la SBAF!

    Thanks Josh! I guess I've mostly been surprised at the lack of fondness for this headphone so far. It seems to be much more polarizing than I'd expected it to be here. "Super hd650" should play pretty well for this crowd. With the giddy recommendation from Tyll, the Elear just doesn't seem to be up to the hype thus far. Since my preferences tend to be pretty in line with Tyll, maybe there is still hope for me with this one. The Utopia is just out of reach financially for me, so there is not much need to audition it at this point unless my finances change pretty drastically.

    Sorry for all the scrap inside. I digested the old box, that was falling apart, for extra padding of the precious Elear box
