I love those turtles!

No, they are one of the best at that. Or more like, it was the only thing they were good at in the past.
The latest one does look ugly though, I am pretty neutral about the gumiho celest.

Buuuuut most models look very good .

Main designer must’ve been out that day then

This is more on the consumer-y side, but sony tws sets are not bad so figured id share this. If the price is not obscene then i may pick some up for the bling factor.

Clearly from this outpouring of Turtle love - I am in a minority…

I need to stop paying my graphic designers

These are a concept tho, so I doubt they’ll see the light of day. Pretty neat-looking, but still kinda chunky

As said, the ones @Mufflertape posted are concepts. Yanko Design is a website that mostly posts design concepts. They have some very convincing renders, so yeah, easily to get mistaken for an actual product

if you’re looking for some buds like that, check out the Cambridge Melomania:

Was reading about this a little bit earlier and it seems super interesting for the $150 asking price.

You get a fairly well regarded fun bassy set thrown in for free - and a modular cable!

Exactly my point - could be interesting!

This hobby is dumb. I already JUST bought my 2DD + 2BA hybrid from Penon. Now they have another?

Come on, and stop it already!

Last one for the night, I promise. Saw this over on Head-Fi.

I dig the design, looks sleek and comfortable. Plus, looks to have a decent cable + tuning filters. Not a terrible price either. The planar landscape is just over saturated as of today, honestly. So many using the same 14.2 or 14.5mm driver, so for me, it might come down to comfort and design. The addition of tuning filters seems pretty cool, too.

For those who think the Focal Bathys are too cheap, Audio Technica got Your back with a $2700 Bluetooth wooden headphone.
