Looks like they’re using the Phoenix-type headband for this one. Not a bad change. I think the SV021 is pretty comfortable but the headband generates a hot spot on me eventually. Interesting if they’re going to use the same driver. That unique sound signature in an open can could be pretty enjoyable. Looking forward to hearing more.

IM HYPED. Sv021 for me is very enjoyable, all rounder and beautiful.

50mm drivers: aluminum, LCP and beryllium coated. Sounds nice. $449 MSRP.

Up for pre-order on Audio46:

Hell of a price jump from the others in the line up

300 ohms… that’s a pivot from the sensitive AF Phoenix headphones they sell. I’m intrigued, though :slight_smile:

Seems they are using this driver.

(around 80 usd/pair)

This driver doesnt have a good rep in the DIY world.

how can you tell?
Im assuming they arent super public about these sorts of things and the overall specs are rather vague

Thats the only 50mm LCP/Beryllium coated driver I know out there. That company (QIGOM) is a big OEM that makes a lot of drivers as well.

A good start.

80 bucks a pair, that’s not a cheap set of drivers (probs costs less for bulk order). So far, everything is looking good.

It is on the more expensive side for drivers. Most can be found around 5-30 usd. Denon D9200/7200 drivers (or at least the replica) are around 80 usd as well.

Wooden shells are around 50-150 usd.

I guess that kinda justifies the price.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I will be able to chime in with my opinion.

I’ll sit on it for a bit but im very curious to see how this stacks up to Sivga’s, Zeos will probably be one of the first to give a review out.

Any opinions about that?

So I got these in today… so far I find them to be enjoyable. I would describe these more of a neutral-bright headphone but with decent low-end. The detail and imaging is really really good at this price.

Going to do some more testing on my tubes and the Burson Soloist GT. I will report back more info when I have had more time with them.
