Review by @jant71 "The B400 - New Heights For Brainwavz!"
"The way this earphones portrays depth and width and everything in between is simply intoxicating and will have you seeking out tracks that push it's limits."
Review by HiFiChris "Smooth. Analogue. Nice."
Points on the materials & assembly:
- Balanced armatures made by well known US manufacturer
- 3D printer and resin are from/made in the US, printed & assembled in house by Brainwavz
- Premium cables 'Frosty' & 'Onyx' made in USA, silver plated, high purity OFC copper litz wire
- Premium balanced cable 'Candy Cane' made in Taiwan, high purity, ofc silver plated cable
- Standard cables are using OFC copper litz wire and are assembled using high quality Kester solder (made in USA)
- The litz wire used within the housing is from Europe by a premium litz cable manufacturer
- All units are let to burn in for 10hrs+
- Comply T-100 tips included (made in USA)
- The entire earphone, both the one in your hand and the ones that will go on sale are assembled and packed at our workshop in Hong Kong by our own team, so the quality control and attention to detail is very high.
- The entire process from printing the housing to final assembly, finishing, burn in, quality checking and packing per earphone takes 30+ hours.
Images of final version:
Older updates, some pictures and info out dated.
I am happy to announce that Brainwavz Audio will continue to build on the success of the very popular B Series line of armature earphones with our latest triple and quad driver based models, the B300 & B400. Early developmental versions of the both models will be available for listening at Canjam SoCal 2017, if your at the show, drop by and give them a try and let us know what you think.
The B300, triple armature driver earphones have been tuned to produce a full, rich sound that will satisfy any audiophile and caters to any genre of music.
The B400, builds on our previous models, with meticulous tuning, every part of the sound spectrum is produced accurately, each driver focusing on producing audio clearly with detail, coupled with a wide soundstage, the B400 is ambrosia for the ears.
Both the B300 and B400 will be made from die cast metal with MMCX connectors and Brainwavz own specially designed cables that will help to deliver a pure audio signal.
This is a on going project and we will update this thread over time, so stay tuned

Review by @jant71 "The B400 - New Heights For Brainwavz!"
"The new B400 is a quad done right plain and simple. All the technical ability you'd expect from 4 armatures blended together the right way to give weight, texture, personality, and a wonderfully coherent and immersive presentation."
Review by @Brooko "Brainwavz B400 - Setting a new standard"
"So how do I see the overall value of the B400? Quite simply, it is unfathomable that you can buy this sort of quality at sub $200."
Review by @B9Scrambler "Brainwavz B400: Aim High, Hit Hard"
"The way this earphones portrays depth and width and everything in between is simply intoxicating and will have you seeking out tracks that push it's limits."
Review by HiFiChris "Smooth. Analogue. Nice."
"The Brainwavz B400 is a smooth, balanced, (in a positive way) soft and inoffensive in-ear with a remarkably even and harmonious tuning"
Review by DecentLevi "The pleasing B.A. 'that could'"
"The B400 is a remarkable entry into the mid-tier BA (balanced armature) market, yielding a nice heft to the mid-bass in a very non-fatiguing, soft and laid back manner, and by all accounts far better than most BA models I've heard. Voicing and mids are hard to beat."
Review by dweaver "Best Brainwavz IEM to date"
"If I could use only one word to describe the sound it would be "immersive". So what this means is I found myself not having a whole lot of WOW moments..."
