We’re probably not there loyal customer base. The folks in Japan are.

You know what, I think Fostex has the right. It has the legacy and history behind it, if other new-name companies can charge thousands of dollars for their headphones, why can’t Fostex raise their prices for a limited edition?
Imo, the whole market is insane when it comes to prices, but if you at least try putting yourself in the shoes of these large companies that have been around forever, you can justify what they are doing.

Final Audio is doing something truly great, something that I personally believe is the future of headphones—extremely lightweight and slim headphones. All these audiophile headphones are great for enthusiasts like ourselves, but it is also a factor that isn’t allowing the industry to reach wider audiences.
Of course, slapping a 5k price tag on such a headphone isn’t quite helpful, but at least it’s a step in the right direction. If they are the ones to bring it to market and it is well received, perhaps we will see companies following those steps but at a significantly lower price. That’s the ideal outcome

Not sure of the number yet but I bet they sell out real quick…the TH900 limited colours sell well even at a premium

By many accounts they make the best headphone in the world, so they can push the price since they’ve established that reputation.

Hmmm ok, fair enough. I do hope these are made in Japan though. Then the value feels added. I do know most to all biodynamic drivers are all Chinese now.

We’re gonna find out if they learned their lesson from last time. Should be cheaper too

And that’s “only the first half”… are we going to see our first IEMs sold as a set of 4, two in each ear?

The shells look like they’re made of metal.
Reminds me of Letshuoer Cadenza and Hifiman Svanar.

There they finally use one of the Madoka waifus for a new release. Though I hoped for a flagship Truthear. 
I’m very interested in the graph on this one
“We’re glad to update our flagship lineup and bring DARK SABER. It uses 2DD+8BA driver configuration and adopts H.O.D.D.D.U.S. module for extraordinary bass” Bassy Moondrop? curious indeed.

The shape of NOVA looks not bad. More ergonomic?
