The RAAL headphones? They are ear speakers. Very odd! Impossible to determine how they sound at the show. Would need a quiet room. Not cheap. $3500.

May anyone take a picture of these ear speaker? Do they look like the AKG K1000?

Very interested in any WooAudio WA11 impressions. Are they close to production quality yet?

and finally, part 3... jeez!

Please Note: The new ZMF headphones below are not production/retail models, more of working models with prototype shells, and thus the wood, cups, and materials of the final versions will be different. I hope I got that right, but Zach let me know!



Manley



Sennheiser

Are those really ribbon based earspeakers?

Looks quite rough, is it an unfinished prototype?
The sound of that thing has to be next level good, RAAL tweeters (I've heard two speakers using the 140-15D Amorphous Core version) have IMO the BEST treble performance you'll find anywhere, very full bodied but ultra fast, kinda like mixing a soft dome with the finest electrostat but more resolving. The problem is that you're tied to a 4th order crossover and that no cone driver can properly match that thing...a full range RAAL sound, without anything else of subpar quality to mock up it's performance like woofers or crossover parts, in headphone form, if they do it properly (which they'll surely do), must be HEAVEN.

The folks at Stax will be so relieved they no longer hold the title of World’s Ugliest Earspeakers

Yes, it's a RAAL headphone
Zooming the picture and slightly rotating it, I could read: "Studio Reference True Ribbon" on the right earcup.

Having fun at the show. Thank you everyone who has stopped by. Lots of show left and plenty of seats.

IS the Sony DMP-Z1 there ? Has someone been able to listen to it and, if possible, compare to a TOL DAP like A&K SP1000?

thanks
