Bought the Stealth as B-stock and calls it their favourite headphone: stunning build, great comfort, good tonality, precise bass, strong dynamics and realistic soundstage.

positivecomfortabledetailed

Tried the Stealth at a show and found it very neutral and precise, but it gave them an intense hotspot on top of the head.

mixeduncomfortable

Found their new Stealth's mids wildly loud at first, but after a few days it sounded amazing; later judged it good but not great, not a closed-back Susvara.

mixed

Was disappointed by the Stealth's anemic bass and harsh treble until they removed their glasses; since then it has delivered incredible sound.

positive

Finds the Stealth lets the music shine like no other headphone they've tried, including other flagships, needing no EQ.

positive

Owns the Stealth and finds it clean with no tuning oddities and deep bass once properly sealed, clearer and more precise than the ZMF Atrium and Verite Closed, though slightly less dynamic.

positivedetailed

Heard the Stealth and finds its tuning clearer with less cup reverb than their ZMF Verite Closed, though the VC has more slam.

mixed

After decent time with the Stealth concluded the much cheaper Aeon Noire offers comparable technicalities and a slightly more enjoyable tuning.

mixedoverpriced

Considers the Stealth one of the best closed backs they have heard, though it had a few issues.

positive

Finds the Stealth S+ comfortable, never making their ears hot.

positivecomfortable

Owns the Stealth and loves its looks and its sub-bass presence, which is there without overpowering.

positivegreat bass

Found the Stealth super clampy and not a genuine upgrade over the E3.

negativeuncomfortable

Bought the Stealth and finds it a great headphone, though only a small step up from HD 6XX-class headphones.

positive

Measured a Stealth, Aeon 2 Closed Noire and Aeon Core this year, all with reasonable channel matching; calls them great headphones and prefers the Stealth.

positive

Just bought the DCA Stealth as their closed-back: vocals sound right to them, unlike the E3 they tried, but it is a tad bright at times and gives a hotspot at the top of the headband so far.

“I felt similar vocal wonkiness as my liric with the DCA E3 when I tried them. Stealth does not have that issue for me, but is maybe a tad bright for my taste at times.”

The DCA Stealth is their favourite headphone; with a proper seal it isn't bright at all, and DCA sends a free clamp-force kit on request.
