It only seems accessible from the provided slickdeals link. How are these for gaming? I'm coming from a penrose via 3.5mm.
The sound quality was not worth the $400, let alone $1,299 even with EQ applied.
The Pentacon cable was very thin. You could buy a better one from AliExpress for $20.
The lack of bass even after EQ on a closed back Planar killed it for me.
My return was practically in new condition though, so technically not a bad deal.
It was a pretty good deal for $400 because it came with Bluetooth and balanced cables, on top of the regular 3.5mm cables.
I wasn't very impressed with the sound quality though. Very good but not $1,300+ retail price good.

I also used an ES9038Pro DAC, Monoprice 887, Apple Music Lossless, Tidal MQA, and my own curated Hi Res FLAC files I use to test with.
The tuning, midbass, and subbass is lacking in stock form. It's my preference, but also don't tell me my tips are wrong or my source is off. I know what I'm doing.

Secondly I am really surprise about your response regarding SQ. Maybe you got a lemon?
I had two pairs of Euclids, one from $600 deal and second from $399 deal.
Both sounds great even in my basic office setup kind of similar to yours minus Apple Music Lossless and Tidal MQA as a source.
They do benefit from burning-in and factory tuning is odd.
But with proper EQ and tips they are on a part with Shure 846 in base region, less bright in mids and highs.
Still comparing Euclids to my Dorado, but it's single planar vs. single dynamic.
What's touchy is people trying to defend their purchase when there are better options available with a better tuning for a lower price.
