Gold Planar GL2000 - Is the hype real?

This video is my review of the Gold Planar GL2000. I really wanted to try this headphone out because of all the hype / outrage around it (if you’re on the forums like I am). I was really surprised at the very non-offending, decent sound that came out of these. Honestly, I have no idea why people had such extreme reactions to this headphone. It’s pretty good all around with a couple of little quirks. If you want to try it, I’d recommend looking for one around $400 on the used market. Just come in with realistic expectations.
