Hah, it's specially processed opalizing glitter. Pretty complex thing to pull off! :) But looks really cool, especially in full sunlight. We have called it Scarabeus (because of obvious reasons) and will be available on our website soon. :) You can check out the first pair of Scarabeus finished...

Thank you! :) As you might expect this is first but not the last universal we're gonna release... :sunglasses: Hah! Looking forward! I'm pretty curious of your opinion. :) Ahhh... This is complex subject and I'll be pretty happy to discuss it. Frankly speaking my attitude towards publishing...

I thought I would take a second to officially say hello! Today is another special day. Why? Cool story is that back in 2011 being acoustic engineer and musician myself and wanting to make myself my own pair of Custom InEar Monitors (CIEM) I stumbled upon HeadFi. Frankly speaking it was a huge...

Hah, indeed, there was universal version manufactured in cooperation with wonderful distributor in Korea. And it's, like you noticed Korea-only. So up to this point it's been available to 0,65% of world population! :) Also last year we have released limited edition of both Model X and Aether...

Shoosh... ;)

Well, depends on how one defines successor! :wink:

I try to respond within 1-2 (business days, lol, you know I try to have a life too! ;) ) days. But… Please note if correspondence is rich in ideas, requests, concepts it might take much-much longer. Especially when it comes to audio I really need to dig into the subject which, trust me, takes a...

Ahh! Thank you for noticing! Just got back to work after the Model X release party (and our 5th anniversary at the same time)... Yes I know that everybody expected new flagship but... I've decided to do things a bit different. Worked a bit more on acoustical tuning than just adding new drivers...

Yes, I know that Aether nozzle is pretty big - I'm aware of that but apart from slight discomfort it might cause during tip changing it serves at least two purposes: - There are three sound bores of which hi-mid bore needs to be 2mm wide to maintain the HF as it was meant to be. Bores take a lot...

It's all good Nic! As a matter of fact you're one of my favorite reviewers out there! There are fifteen others that I like more... But...16th place is still pretty decent! Isn't it? ;) Anyway, this shootout sounds like fun and I much respect the amount of effort that has been put into. And the...

Hah, thank you @Barra for starting the ball rolling! :) Hope all participants will have some quality time with the demos and their favorite music! :)   @ustinj, @seamon, all you guys, thank you for your active interest! Really, It's pure honor and pleasure to be here and witness a good...

@DWbirdseye Yeah, I noticed. :) I was kidding as well. If it wasn't clear, blame it on my (sometimes) odd sense of humor. :) Like this gentleman sang years ago: "I'm just a soul whose intentions are good...". :)

@Tiddlesworth If it'll be natural evolution of Aether with very similar "hardware" base we will, definitely. I really don't think that anybody should pay for the same thing twice. But, time will tell if this evolution won't end up with slight revolution. Still it's thing of the future… :)  ...

Awesome, great to hear that! :) Yeah, that is why few months ago we have changed sockets to the ones with "high extraction force", they are more robust and handle extensive cable switching with unmatched patience :).   Well, I'm planning to do some CanJamming in Singapore in March...

  Good things come to those who wait, right? :)       Oh, And some of you guys were wondering (and asking me via e-mail and Facebook) if any of our reps is present here.   It turns out that I've been around for a while (rather reading than writing) and this morning I thought... I might...
