22／3 Update:
 
80% and 100%? LEAR NSS Prototype vs LEAR-U1!
 

 
We have informed everyone who tried the LEAR NSS prototype in our retail store that the prototype resembles 80% of the final product, which you paid $1,000 for. The idea of displaying the prototype is to let all of you to understand the idea of Natural Stereo Sound.
Why 80%? We are more than willing to explain this to anyone present at the retail store, yet no one questioned about it. However, this has become another concern with people inquiring online.
Shown in the figure are the dynamic drivers for the prototype and the NSS-U1 final product respectively. We chose a better dynamic driver for the final product, which is contained with a better stainless steal casing.
As we fine-tune the LEAR NSS-U1, both the statistical and acoustical comparison between the prototype reflects that the NSS-U1’s drivers are better in mid and high frequencies, the impedance, sensitivity, and distortion than the prototype. This of course results to a higher cost as well. To simplify the comparison, the low, mid, and high frequencies are improved with at least 20%. While the fact is, the mid and high frequencies are far more improved than 20%.
We have received inquiries that what is the difference of the 20%? This is an abstract idea as if describing sound with words, which is not fully describable with words. For example, if we denote on a clearer high frequencies, it would be easily challenged with a question “how clear?” We believe that our customers are more than willing to get a better product with he same price, which concludes that experiencing it is far more preferred than our verbal explanation. Try the LEAR NSS!

  hi i'm also interested to pledge. Is there any plan for international warranty coverage ?

And to further the question asked by alvin, does the $1000HKD includes shipping + handling?

Also, may I assume the gold and silver will be priced similarly?

Yes, the LEAR NSS-U1 have 1 year limited warranty and you could send us back the product if there is a problem.

Sorry about  the HKD$1000 is not includes shipping and handling,
It's HKD$1210(includes shipping and handling) for international backers and pay via Paypal.
 
The price of gold and silver black are same.

27/3 Update:
 
NSS is good for gaming all kinds of mobile entertainments as well!
 

 
It might be a misconception that a pair of $1,000 earphones are solely suitable for audiophiles only, but the fact is normal earphones are even more unnatural with phones, tablets, and laptops.
Since the sound source mentioned above synchronizes with the video every second, which the hard-panned sound would create an effect that the video of the person speak in front of your but the voice goes directly into your head instead of right in front you.
Some might feel extremely uncomfortable with this, for the video is right in front while the sound is hard-panned. This would highly affect the gaming experience, hence less enjoyable!
Earphones with NSS, such as the NSS-U1, will recreate a natural audio experience. The audio image will be place in front of you rather than on top, resulting in a natural synchronization between the visual and audio.
Users are more devoted into the experience in such way.
Don't miss the last chance to get a pair of LEAR NSS-U1 with the discounted pre-order price HKD$1,000!

It seems to be really interesting technology. I am sure Tatco has made an exceptional work here. The most important part is its price, not expensive I think.

Here comes to the end of our "Mass Order of the LEAR NSS-U1 Earphone, and Development of Music Platform Project".
We would like to give thanks to every supporter of ours.
 
Despite we have tried every possible effort, we could not reach our 1 million HKD target. Although we could not launch our music platform project, LEAR NSS-U1 is now official on its way to production!
 
Our apologies to those who are disappointed for this.
 
The result reflected issues in:
1. The trust between customers and LEAR;
2. LEAR's popularity, and charismas;
3. The lack of depth in the introduction of Music Platform;
4. As a beginner to the pre-order project, there are unexpected mistakes. Such as, the delay of International and Online payment until 6th of March, which affect the easement of customer payment.
 
We would not see these as an excuse, but a lesson for our future projects. Although we cannot fully implement the project, we have tried our very best to serve every customers of ours to develop experience and reputation for our future.
 
Tatco, our director, will keep you all updated through photos/video on the production of LEAR NSS-U1. From the research, to development until the shipment process, we hope to share the happiness of birth and growth of LEAR NSS-U1.
 
Please stay in tuned to http://nss.lear-audio.hk for first hand information.
 
Once again, our thanks to you all!
 
P.S. Please note that pre-order of our LEAR NSS has ended starting 1st of April, nor the prototype's trial will be available.

Sirs,
 
Will Tatco send us email messages to let us know that you have a record of our donation?  Further, will we receive intermittent email messages that keep us up to date with progress on the NSS-U1?  Or do we just need to keep checking the Lear website every few weeks for updates?  Please let us know an approximate date as to when we should expect to start receiving updates on this exciting project.  Thank you.
