wink Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 The perspicacious would opt for perspex........ I can just see the aftermarket crowd going wild with this one...... Besides the usual plethora of aftermarket cables, there will be:- Coloware will have a range of colored covers.... There will be a plethora of different wood covers. Edstrelow will have a pattern of sorbothane to make these Stax killers The Hifiman HE-6 crowd will break out different felt fazor mods. Anaxilus will have 3 different mods to get rid of the echo chamber cavern effect... The newest mod will be to coat the inside of the covers with teflon to make sure even the sound doesn't stick... etc, etc, ad hoc, ad addendum, ad astra. ad nauseum........................... 4 2
TMoney Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 Looking forward to hearing these. I'm not really a closed-back fan, but hopefully these will show up at a bay area meet sometime this year. 1
tin ear Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 "... astonishingly transparent sound, thanks to a unique glass transducer cover..." 1
wink Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 I wonder how long it will before those covers are replaced with the bottoms of coke bottles for a sweeter and darker sound.....
justin Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 I plan to replace mine with panda skin 4 1
Hopstretch Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 The bar stools on Aristotle Onassis’s yacht were upholstered in whale foreskin. Apropos of nothing.

Jon L Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Looks like Cobra King LTD driver's removable "Spaceport" made of aerospace aluminum will fit nicely into that headphone port, sure to improve sound ... Edited January 9, 2018 by Jon L 2
Torpedo Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 Is that a golf stick? We're living the times of the wealthy morons who don't know how to spend their money. And the weather keeps improving by the day

It is used by soccer moms to convert A cups to double D cups. 1

wink Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) It's as sonically clear as glass........ Edited January 10, 2018 by wink

Dusty Chalk Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 6 hours ago, wink said: It's as sonically clear as glass........ No, I meant reflective, and I meant the gel like material. Glass has a very hard reflective surface, acoustically, hence Marc’s comment, but I imagine gel would be a little better, like putty. 1
penmarker Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 I think you're referring to Aerogel. Excellent insulation capabilities, ultralight, and mostly made of air?
wink Posted January 14, 2018 Report Posted January 14, 2018 If it were made of salt water, it could support more plankton......... 1
n_maher Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 https://www.innerfidelity.com/content/ces-2018sennheiser-hd-820-over-ear-sealed-headphones Early report from CES is in. Sounds promising.
