Valid points for sure but R&D is the same for most good quality companies - whether they design a projector, a TV, speakers or headphones. I have more arguments to use but hey, this is not the thread for it :) Have a nice day, Kelvin

Reason why I settled for a <$500 headphones and forbid myself to buy something more expensive... Been in the sound game for a long time and I know how it works... If something sounds good, you can have higher markup on that product. For $4999, I can buy a Sony or JVC projector - ratio VS...

I'm still receiving news from the project from Indiegogo but I wish he had more reviews out. Last info he sent : (assuming he's a HE) "What's new with your project today? This week I have developed a new driver that is faster, more accurate, and has more details. The in-house sound...

Still no comments ? No one managed to get ahold of a testing unit ? Kelvin

So ? I saw this a few months back. Any news ? Kelvin

If you like smooth, Irish whiskey is not bad either :) Kelvin

Any chance that you could show pics of what you did? I too have a channel imbalance and also put away this amazing headphones Thank you Kelvin

Thank you for your post. Wanted to defend and do a lengthy reply but I'm just gonna say this: I think I've managed to live a good life, have no real financial problem, and spend as much quality family time as I can... What I want is to enjoy what I can now as much as I can because I have no...

Thank you for your thoughts - last question, if you were watching movies, which would you recommend. I like to watch thrillers, scary and action movies Kelvin

Great post, could you please tell me which in your opinion sounds "denser"/fuller? Regarding the bass, which has the most volume ? My guess is LCD-X but I want to be sure lol Thank you, Kelvin

Amen... lol Kelvin

You have a really good point. Not knowing their business strategies, we can only speculate at best. Keep on being a small company or expend their offerings... Only time will tell. As much as I love to discuss about this topic, I believe we should keep it about the Verum 1 Kelvin

All fair points for both of you... I'm just gonna say one last thing regarding the price: In the Focal Utopia headphone, there's a pair of beryllium drivers (2*tweeters) and the headphone costs €4,000 In car audio, the Utopia n°7 used to have an MSRP of €1,800. That's for a pair of beryllium...
