    Sorry to read about your accident @cskippy. What a shit situation that you have to liquidate your gear to pay medical bills. I went through a similar process a while ago, albeit for different reasons. Out of interest, what are you falling back to?

    Soekris 1541
    BHA-1
    HD800SDR
    HD650
    Verum 1
    and Neumann KH120 + sub

    I hope this is all I have to sell...

    If I didn't have a mini shopping spree for a project, I would be all over that Dangerous Music Convert 2.

    Sorry to hear about your situation, I hope you make a speedy recovery and are able to get back on your feet to get your setup back. GLWS!

    It absolutely kills me that you are having to sell the Verite right after getting it. If I didn't already have one myself I would buy yours in a heartbeat. Get well soon!

    Verite can be bought without the additional pads.

    In my book, verite differentiates itself from all others in unique presentation, rather than surpasses or outperforms others (indeed it does in many criteria though). I can't comfortably recommend to blindly jump into verite and for its price I shouldn't. At this level, preference and taste override any technical differences imho. That said, if you experienced headphone audio quite a bit and formed a certain set of philosophies, it's worth giving a shot to.

    Done deal. There is a wide body of reviews and impressions that support Verite at the top of the heap albeit with others.
    I won't be nitpicking at this price range. Torq likes it enough to consider buying a second one. You, he and others give enough info vis a vis other candidates to convince me. I do hear what you say but am unconcerned enough to make this my last headphone purchase of the decade.

    I think @Vtory was just trying to be helpful and warn against an impulse buy.
