May be an interesting outcome, but not necessarily in the "audiophile" business line.

Anyways, it will take a while before they have this acquisition sorted out, so in the meantime, I got myself a pair of HiFiman Ananda Stealth headphones.

Agricultural build, but they pair well with my Topping A70 Pro

Very interesting and probably connected to Sony just announcing the Pulse Elite wireless gaming headphones and Pulse Explore wireless gaming earbuds, both using planar drivers.

I was wondering if Audeze was involved with development when they announced the Elite and Explore with planar drivers. Seems like I probably have an answer now

Whelp, now we know why they don’t need our money right now. Hope they can lean on Sony’s manufacturing expertise.

Woah! Hopefully Audeze will benefit from Sony's manufacturing expertise. It's just a bit strange that Sony also makes audiophile gear too. I wonder if we'll see Sony headphones outside the Playstation brand start incorporating planar technology.

Agricultural build,

Very agricultural, but the Anandas sound fantastic!

This is what I heard today. "The first completed units are rolling off the line and we anticipate all outstanding pre-orders placed before 8/23 will ship within the next 2-3 weeks."

I got an email stating that as well -- looking forward to the next few weeks.

Anyone know if the wicked Cushion ear pads for the Maxwell will fit the MM-100? I asked wicked cushion on twitter but Audeze is kinda of inactive on twitter.

Hi Jaytiss, MM-100 will NOT accept Maxwell earpads. The MM-100 earpads are attached using adhesive, like our LCD-series and MM-500, for optimal acoustic coupling and bass performance.

I got literally the same answer basically word for word in an email response today.

Wouldn't we expect everyone to get roughly the same message?

Bingo. Those almost certainly are Audeze drivers.

Not sure what to think of this.
I wonder if this is a good or bad thing for us audiophiles

Sony harvested all the 100 planar into their gaming sets hence the delay
