How will this one be compared to my own set based on my quality ranking:

Stax 3100 system - (The reference set from a friend of mine)
BossHifi B8 - (Best ever 4Me! (the 'little' Fostex T60rp))
Fostex T50RP - (Bass improved very good modded one)
Superlux HD330 - (Wide open 'Stax' alike sound)
AKG92 - (Good allround headphone just 4 fun)

I'm very curious about the combination of dynamic woofer and electrostatz height. I did rebuild electrostatic speakers myself. Also build a Float headphone, but want some electrostatic quality 'on the road' at work. Will the GL1 beat my BossHifi B8? What's your advice?

RestaticI bought the GL2 on MassDrop, which are said to be better than these GL1. Bullshits. This brand is a joke. Build quality and comfort are absent. The audio is not bad though, but far away from excellent or even fun. Scandalous. Run away from this and invest in real gears :) Have a good day,

RestaticIt *might* beat the Boss, but it will be blown into next week by the STAX. I have a lot of headphones with strengths and weaknesses, but none touch the STAX in what STAX does best- amazing vocals, amazing speed and a complete lack of distortion. There is a "you are there" feeling with the STAX that's just hard to convey unless you've heard them. Now these phones are 1/10th the price STAX entery level now, so it's not a fair comparison. At the current price you are probably getting the phones for what they got them from Verisonix. It seems they are liquidating supply. I feel sorry for M&J as two guys with a start-up, but their marketing seemed like it was created by the Bose marketing team during their off time. Smoky London clubs... geez.
