It's named after the Mobius strip, a geometrical shape you can form by taking a strip of paper, twisting one end 180 degrees, then gluing that end to the other (untwisted) end. The Audeze Mobius campaign references the Mobius strip with a picture of the headphones being stretched into a twisted shape :D

Thanks, I didn't even read the page on it, I just saw Audeze planar 100mm for $250 and clicked buy. :wink:

Yeah, the case looks nice. It's likely that I'm not going to get a stand (because I don't know anyone who would complete the referral) so I'll happily take this bonus gift.

Does anyone know where the name Mobius came from? Just curious, I have no idea why it but makes me think of the Matrix, but I am guessing "mobile headphones, and turn it into a greek/roman ancient name" like Marcus Aurelius, lol

if anyone knows how they came up with name, share with me please, :)

In addition to what Philosobyte said the Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being unorientable, which is likely a reference to the head tracking / Spacialization technology.

Just an update to everyone, mobius has announced that everyone is indeed getting a full blown case. Audeze is going above and beyond here for their supporters, very impressive.

Where do you update/check your shipping information? Can't find it under profile or settings.
I found it under my contributions and you click on the Mobius contribution link. There should be details on the right side like payment info and shipping address.

The value here started out as an incredible proposition then only escalated into a mind-blowingly insane deal.

This, folks, is how you run an Indiegogo campaign: honestly and transparently while rewarding your backers with genuine value for being an early adopter then rewarding them again when their enthusiasm turns the project into a wildly popular success.

Like I already commented on the campaign page: Thanks Audeze! This is awesome news, and the case is everything I had hoped for (even if I would have had to pay for it!)—it's super cool to get it included for free as a stretch goal now. I can't wait for June/July to come! (I'm in a June group, but it'll probably take a few more days to arrive in Germany).

Great news on the LDAC front. I can't wait to pair it with my Sony NW-ZX2!

Love the mic design. About as compact/sleek as it gets, hate the Sennheiser & Corsair style big bulky static arm design with a passion.

Also, what function does the air vent serve on the mic? My knowledge of mics aren't that great so I'm really curious about this vent.
