28-Sep, GoldPlanar is proud to announce GL-AMT16, the world first closed-back full range(15Hz–50kHz) Air Motion Transformer in-ear. Engineered with micro-AMT headphone transducer(15.5mm) technology inside a precision-milled aluminum alloy housing with 5 replaceable acoustic earbuds nozzle. This electrodynamic transducer allows air to move significantly faster than conventional voice coil, electrostatic, or planar designs; the AMT uses a folded diaphragm that squeezes air out of multiple Kapton folds four times faster than a traditional driver’s piston-like movement would permit. Their amazing speed translates to stunning transparency and effortless resolution of quick transients, GL-AMT have fast and accurate transient response, moves air faster for stunning transparency. GL-AMT16 delivers heightened detail retrieval and sonic accuracy with a soundstage and dynamic range. The miniaturized 15.5mm single micro-AMT driver has no crossovers, resulting in superior cohesion across the entire frequency spectrum. And GL-AMT16 still boasts an incredible 102 dB/mW efficiency and a max SPL well over 100dB, giving it the highest dynamic range of any in-ear in its size category.
GoldPlanar GL-AMT16 is available for purchase now at www.linsoul.com, sells $1,499.00USD.

Why aren’t they available in the color in that picture? Why only the awful rose gold or whatever it is?
So overpriced AMT tweeters are not expensive to produce this should sell for Maybe $150
Yeah I can see this going the same way as Planar IEM’s did…Expensive to “Really that fucking cheap”…The graph looks ok but what else does this bring sonically to the table at that price

Would be nice to see more options for AMT in iem, was super impressed by the obravo eamt-1c which is a coaxial amt and dynamic setup, but they were super source demanding so they ended up being super hit or miss depending on what you drove them with. Ended up selling it because it only really sounded it’s best on desktop gear which really limited the benefits of it being an iem. Hopefully that’s not the case with future AMT options (although I should really revisit it now that there’s more and more capable dap and portable amp options out there). Ah and having tips that didn’t sit too deep in the ear were important too.
Wouldn’t really immediately call it overpriced, there’s different levels of quality when it comes to AMT, and it’s not only the driver that determines the cost of an iem, it’s getting that driver to actually work well within the iem (implementation), the R&D aspect basically (which also includes the cost of the amt driver development if it’s a self developed driver, but don’t know, haven’t looked into it). Only way to know if it’s worth the cost or not is to hear it, since the final sound is what should really justify cost or not in the end

If this gets good reviews, give it 6-12 months. It’ll come
cheapest AMT headphone is going for what $1200 on sale?
probably be a while before these start dropping in price mainly because there’s hardly anything in the “wearable” space that uses them
“A bit more like the Radiance but even a bit more low end but still maintain Focal sound signature”??
Sounds pretty awesome
Only thing is, would I feel comfortable walking around wearing an $800 focal headset? Not sure…

Lol i dont even feel comfortable wearing my b stock elex since I’m committed to not dropping that kind of money again so reasonable for you to raise that question on something more expensive thats targeted for more active use.

I wonder if the dedicated USB DAC mode will work with an iPhone…

Today, the way things are… That would be a no.
That said, I have used my Lagoons just around the house and I must say, there is a lot to be said for not being tethered to the amp. If these will rival the sound quality of say, the Celleste, they would be worth consideration. I want to know more about the battery itself. What is the life expectancy? Can it be replaced?

With this many new walkmans coming, they have to be working on new iems (or hps)…

Good find man, curious if the Bluetooth will work well with their tws sets since it is running android etc. It should work I would think. Maybe a bump in sound quality as well.

Wish the A series successor would solve the battery issue of A105 and maybe add a bit of power to the output. That would be a perfect DAP for me. But looking at some of the latest moves of Sony they may just not give a f.
