nopants Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was clicking on some old links to Walt Jung articles and it took me the the xpress homepage instead. I spotted this: http://audioxpress.com/article/New-Hybrid-Electrostatic-Headphones-and-Tube-Hybrid-Headphone-Amplifier-from-ENIGMAcoustics.html I don't know what to make of the headphones, but why is there only a render if they're supposedly due out in May? The Dharma D1000 headphone takes full advantage of ENIGMAcoustics’ SBESL (Self-Biased Electrostatic) technology, offering electrostatic transparency, focus, and inner detail without the need for an external energizer to provide a polarizing voltage. Instead, the bias voltage is derived from the signal itself in a proprietary manner, making Dharma, according to the company “an easy to use, convenient, and with its light weight, very comfortable headphone.” Enigmatically upside down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I predict it will suck. Paper cones are slow and heavy for this sort of thing surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubliss Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 These were at Canjam, but I didn't listen. Plenty of impressions at HF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Self bias aka electret. I have little hope for these. They should have just made a full blown electret unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS I very much think so but I still definitely prefer the HD800. It actually sound really good next to the HD800 out of the Susy Dynahi. It is very open and airy sounding with very solid bass response. The treble is very slightly forward but overall it sure sounds quite good to my ears even next to a well amped HD800. Couple of ATL guys also think so. 9 hours ago, Jon L said: Hmm. Wonder how they compare to AKG K340.. I don't have the K340 any more but this do sound good next to the HD800. So I would probably say that they are better. I can borrow the K340 from a friend but the Dharma will be long gone by then.
