Taobao is pretty massive, kinda like an ebay somewhat or something similar, and are owned by alibaba

From the looks this seems to be a ribbon driver but idk

Clearly seems like a chinese oem or something but idk for sure

Also see some for sale here (haven’t used these sites):

Some measurements for the 850?

Seems like it, if they designed their own amt driver and it was quality that price makes sense

interesting how little info there is on their stuff.

I saw something on Drop about ‘Gold Planar’… “After spending years manufacturing for some of the world’s top headphone brands, Gold Planar has set out on its own…”.

:thinking:

Could be the oem for some manufactures, stuff like the monolith headphones from monoprice or like theaudio planar stuff (not saying they did that but just saying that would be the type of thing going on)

Ive heard a few things about them. the most likely thing is they are just like any chifi company who just pops out out of nowhere. but one of the few things Ive heard is athey are a canadian company the manufactures out of china. abd abother thing is that they were a japanese budget company

9

what I personally believe about them is they are probably a manufacturer/factory for planar drivers who just decided to make and tune their own shit.

From what I’ve read, Gold Planar has manufactured drivers for Monoprice and Linsoul.

So with Linsoul, I take it that they manufactured the drivers for the Thieaudio Phantom. I wonder if they were involved with the BLON B20 as well?

16

I do hope they are good though REally hoping to lsee measurements as well if they get adapted by more people. to see if they make the bad planars with all the resonance

I see a good amount of respect to the phantoms when modded though

18

made of gold? Fr?
The driver part?

19

When modded…I think that same thing goes for the M1060 (I hated mine even modded). Sounds like they are the ones making these drivers.

For the gl850 that looks like a lot of ringing, and I’m not a measurement person lol

That 5 KHz ringing remind you of anything in particular?
