Nice reviews. Does Brainwavz have optional snap in all pleather / leather pads to use in place of the hybrid (that I imagine will have more bass, and smoother highs)?

As your planars are based on or similar (with some changes) to ($200 more expensive) Quad ERA-1 planars, I see they have a leather options for theirs (see below). It looks like the ear pad opening is indeed larger. My experience with the Shure SHR-1540 going from the smaller opening, and softer material Alcantara stock pads to NVX ComfortMax Standard (non-angled) (which are superior to Brainwavz pads they're based on) is they'd smoothed off the high end peaks that bothered me, greatly improved fit, comfort, ear space and soundstage. I imagine that could work with these.At this time we only are supplying the hybrid earpads. Down the road we will probably start making other types of earpads for the Alara.
My review is up.
Rough price guide @razzer001?Thanks for your review and comments. We are working on more earpads for the Alara, along with a quick hack to allow the current earpads we sell to attach to the Alara.
PC Mag has published their review and a Editor Choice recommendation.
“Bottom Line: The planar magnetic Brainwavz Alara headphones deliver detail, excellent bass depth, and a magical spatial feel, making them well worth their high price.”

Also here is a very, very, very early stage prototype for our next planar project, overall design will be different when released to what's pictured. 80mm planar drivers, full size headphones.

Rough price guide @razzer001?
I've ordered the Alara, will share my thoughts with you guys when they arrive
No worries @razzer001, yes, I meant the prototype. You've managed to bring a decent pair of headphones to the 500-1000 dollar price range, I wonder where you'll be targeting your next headphone!If you are referring to the prototype I posted, there is no pricing info I want to publish publically, way too early at this stage.
If you mean the Alara, well now, check our website, it just happens to be our Lunar new year sale
Thanks for buying, I hope you enjoy our Alara
