Has anyone tested the MH Tungsten? (alien.top)

So around 2-3 weeks ago I ordered a pair of MH Tungsten. Call me an idiot as it was a complete blind buy but the hype around them is kinda real. A 1499-1999$ pair that rivals headphones double its price sound promising, only issue is you need a nuclear reactor to power them.

Did anyone here order a pair too and already received it?

Mind to give a short „review“?

Awesome headphones. Been enjoying the ds version quite a bit the last few days. They definitely punch above their price range.

Being insensitive, high impedance planars they are a bit picky as to which amps pair well. A minimum of 20 vrms is generally recommended.

Yeah I bought a A70 pro for this reason. Pairing them with my element III and using it as a dac.

If this won’t work I guess I’ll have to get a D70 or E50 to pair with it to get the whole power

You can even just get something like a d30 pro since dacs above a few dollars only give you more features not greater performance.

I have a d30 pro - great dac. Looking over the specs briefly though, it appears to put out just 4 Vrms, which might not be a great fit in this scenario. Finding a hotter dac may work better plus having a built-in pre-amp / better volume control may also give more options later on.
