The EL-8 Open and Closed-Back Headphone features revolutionary Fluxor™ magnetic technology and a Uniforce™ diaphragm material that was originally developed by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for lightweight electronics to withstand the rigors of space. Audeze re-engineered this super strong material to work as a planar magnetic driver.
Hear the EL-8 at South Hall 1 Booth 22018 ‪#‎CES2015‬

So they went with a single magnet structure to reduce weight and size. New diaphragm material too. What is Fluxor?

So far Audeze has been a niche product but to open up a bigger market they need a product with a more affordable price.This is it!
Having a bigger base leads eventually to more sales higher up the chain.

When can customers send in their LCD-2.2 and get them upgraded to EL-8?

(Joking.....)

Oh for the love of all things Audeze....I can't wait to find out if I can even afford these...and how soon I can order them lol

 

[linglingjr]

That cut away view makes them look semi open ish.  Only half of the grille is actually "open".
 
I just want to hear some impressions on how they sound 

 

[Jajo]

This sucks. I'm currently the high bidder on a pair of D7000s. This is bittersweet

They currently have a pre-order available on their FB page. No details, just a sign up to be notified for the pre-order.  At least it's something.

So are these closed or open? Or halfway vented?

 

[jodgey4]

There are two models, one open, and one closed. Like the X and XC.

 

[Neo Zuko]

Ah. How are the closed back Audeze XC cans?

 

[mscott58]

XC's are world-class closed backs. Not as good as the LCD-3F's in my opinion, but still awesome. I'd say the XC's and the Alpha Prime's my favorite closed cans. Cheers

Sub'd.
Mainly just to see who drools onto whom first Tuesday.


Bring on the pricing and ship date!

 

[silverbox]

NASA technology AND BMW design? The price will be OVER $9000

So much awesome stuff coming out of CES. My wish lists have changed so much.
