Stainless steel definitely adds weight and durability, but am not sure about its impact on sound. I reckon in theory, a denser chassis might reduce unwanted resonance and provide a more controlled sound?. I think for a single DD the tuning and implementation of the driver would be more impactful on the sound characteristics than the shell material. I could be wrong tho. But one thing I do know is that SS would make it quite a heavy set thats for sure.
Thats a unique design! Is it just me or for some reason it looks like the face plate is fabric? and it somewhat reminds of the carpet designs at either Changi T1 or T2
The FF Maestro looks absolutely stunning! The faceplate design is so unique—kind of a retro-modern vibe with those patterns and colors. Definitely one of the most artistic CIEMs I’ve seen.
I think the shell material plays a bigger role than just tuning and implementation. Since stainless steel is dense, it could alter the way the moving diaphragm interacts with resonance and internal reflections, possibly affecting the overall sound signature…
Well will just wait for what @Rikudou_Goku has to say
P.S - Shit that actually does look like a turbo charger lol or a snails shell idk xD
Example in speakers you often want stiffer materials for tweeters and less so for woofers, while keeping density high for woofers and low for tweeters.
While I do think that the DD and tuning (damping, shell structrure/shape) matters more, material is still a big factor.
Qcy, the t13 anc2 model. I did a evaluation here if you want to read. For the price Its a must have if you own android(eq). For ios users that can’t eq i dont recomend it.
