    So putting up the Kennerton Magister for loaner. This is a high quality headphone that I like much more stock than a TH900 or TH600 (understatement).

    Take Note:
    "HEADS UP! This stays here too! Magister from Fischer Audio will be on a special promo for under $500 soon. It will be limited. They just need you to post an honest review." - LFF

    Craftmanship IMO is comparable to a TH900, but sounds much better. With the promo is cheaper than a TH600...

    I believe these are either with Hands or DrFindley.

    Clarification: Is anyone on the Magister tour comparing the Magister to the HM5?

    HM5 is not on the tour. Was just asking if anyone will be comparing to the HM5.

    Received the Kennerton(s) on Monday!

    The IEMs are missing some tips (the bi-flange and smallest ear tip don't have their matching partner). Most of them were kinda dirty, too.
    I tried them quickly: too bassy for me and pretty uncomfortable to wear due to larger diameter. They make a weird and annoying noise when I swallow, too.

    The headphones are pretty good. Very smooth (read unoffensive) overall. These are NOT glasses-friendly; the smallest leak in the seal makes the bass completely disappear.
    Tried them with the Pulse vanilla only, so far (at work). Will try with the Sony TA-A1ES soon (which is a bit hot up top, which could give these some sparkle).
    Liquid Carbon should arrive on time, as well.

    Yeah, they were missing for me two. I used my own tips and didn't even bother. I should have mentioned it.

    These will now go to Gelocks.

    Thanks for the loaner, Ultra. These are very pleasant headphones! Nice discovery.

    These were shipped to Gelocks today.

    Have fun. They're very good (with brighter source/amp). Your bias is now set :p

    Possible these will go to @MoatsArt eventually, for a tour in the land of Oz. @MoatsArt will coordinate shipping costs and interest.
