Sort of interested now to see how they really hold up against various other new production, but don’t really want to spend that much for a gamble when I already have a fair amount of tubes that I like stocked up lol and it seems kinda sketch, only have 2 pairs of amps that can use 12au7, and both of them already have really nice tubes so would be an uphill battle for them lol. But I’d prefer if there were some good new production for that tube type so I wouldn’t have to worry about trying to find some reliable nos types, I got lucky on my lampizator of mainly favoring new production tubes, would be nice if someone can actually make a 12xx7 that can compete with some of the better nos. fwiw I think new production larger tube types like dht have exceeded some of the older nos, but that hasn’t happened with the smaller preamp tubes yet (which are much more common and more in demand lol)
$25 for a pair of ANC TWS has me a bit concerned…

I could be wrong, but that price is pretty low.
It’s probably not justified but I just want to say I hate Astell and Kern and their overpriced junk. Even when I’ve listened to their DAPs they’ve sounded bad and been clunky and sluggish.
Edit: I feel like they’re the high form high price option that people with no clue would buy, using the pricetag as a shortcut to assume they’re getting the best. The epitome of “brands that advertise in the in-flight catalogue for people to burn money off on”

I’m really enjoying my Mega5P. It is very coherent sounding for a hybrid, with excellent timbre, and enough warmth to enhance the musical experience without clouding up the detail retrieval. The dynamic driver is very fast and easily keeps up with the balanced armatures. Plus it fits perfectly and comes with a nice cable with interchangeable terminations, a big and sturdy storage box, and good selection of silicone ear tips. Just an outstanding purchase and experience all around. Look forward to what they can do in the future.
If only is cost $666, then it would have been a Hell of a good deal.
Given the sizes of the buttons , it could be a function button and a volume rocker, too.
Finally
If those dots are vents, that does not seem good for a portable set.

This…has some potential. We shall see though
Do those enhance sound quality like audiophile crystals?
With these i wouldn’t have to carry all those crystals with me and people wouldn’t confuse me as a crystal merchant 
more diamonds= better fit, better resolution, better soundstage and lower thd.
