Aye a secondhand buy if youāre worried about a few bucks and want them now?
Those people are just crazy. Or they hadnāt given it burnin time like Kamigoroshi. Or maybe they dont like aggressive headphones. Anyway theres not that many showing up for resale
Are there actually many out there?
I just bought the 10 pads for 50$ lol. I orginally bought the 5 for 25$ Should have just got the 10
Yeah so far I see 5 sets for saleā¦ I wouldnāt say that is a lot yet. at least on Hifishark

Anyone know what these drivers are made out of? Looking at them it looks like a metal. Since theres so much detail i was wondering if it was beryllium maybe.
I dont want to raise expectations into the stratosphere but theres something about these headphones. They just sound so good. Dont know if its the detail or the frequency range of the drivers. or the soundstage. or separation but they really sound fantastic
And they are sounding even better than at first. i think they do well with burn in
lol @Antpage2 Iāve never seen somebody gush so hard over a pair of headphones quite like you have to these, haha - Iām happy youāve met that special someone!

Yeah itās kinda funny. i got 1600$ headphones like the Arya and Autuer and the headphone i fall in love with is a 200$ headphone 
But it just proves what ive been saying all along. the headphone market prices are horribly inflated. I always thought they should be able to do a great headphone at a decent price. And iām not surprised its the Asians that did it. They have always put out decent stuff for a good price.
Iām still gonna get the Utopia

Mine arrived today, I got the ā10 padā package. They come in numbered bags. Essentially they vary the following:
- Pad thickness is either around 30mm or 25mm
- Opening shape is either rounded or more of an oval, ear shape.
- Material is either velour or perforated āleatherā, or a hybrid with perforated leather on the sides and velour on the face
- The foam over the driver is very thin, except in #11, where it is considerably thicker.
Iāve collected the different combinations in the table below:
I havenāt tried many of the pads yet. First impressions of the headphones is that they look and feel very premium, there are some minor creaking/scraping noises when you wiggle parts around but nothing noticeable on your head. They are pretty heavy.
Sound quality reflects what people have been saying. Treble is pretty good, a little sibilant maybe. Mids not too great. They are quite bassy. I am enjoying electronic music quite a bit, but vocal heavy stuff not so much.

Iād assume that is a question youād try to have answered before you buy it.
According to random OEM on alibaba that is ready to churn out 50,000 pieces per month; a headphone that looks like the one pictured below uses a neodymium magnet and voice coil. That doesnāt mean the Helios uses the same driver, so if you want hold out hope that it uses beryllium, knock yourself out.

But i did try to find out! they wouldnt say D=
OMG! not again 
please dont tell me the Helios is just another headphone they picked up and altered. Maybe whoever makes this got a license from HarmonicDyne/Thie Audio/Linsoul and are duplicating a closed version?
Do you have the link for this?
