Looks like the AliExpress seller of the Yenonas has a new version called "OneOdio" with slightly different design and... metal sliders!
Great find! I wonder if sound changed or they just upped the build quality

Alright. Just stay far away from status audio. Terrible customer service. Still no response from their customer service. Checking their Twitter shows there are other buyers who have equally bad experiences.
Something is wrong with my package. It's probably lost, but when status audio refuses to respond to my emails, there's not much I can do to bring it up to the shipping company.
I'll probably just try to set a PayPal dispute
I doubt their products are good enough to be worth the risk you take in dealing with them. ISK seems much more promising
I'm sorry to hear this. Don't use a mobile phone, can't use twitter, so not aware of problems w/Status Audio, beyond the (very occasional) Amazon comment expressing dissatisfaction w/them (not a lot of that, really).
I've had a far-above average experience w/Status Audio in buying the CB-1 (currently 2+ days into burn-in and sounding pretty good)--but if you had the opposite experience, that gets my attention.
I hope you get it resolved, get your money back, etc.
I do, too...though I'm still wrestling w/the Yenona's, trying to fine tune their (suddenly) peak treble. The HM5s were an improvement on them overall--soundstage got even bigger, and bass got more controlled--except that IMO treble is too peaky. Don't think it's the pads; the Yenona's had started sounding bright even w/the stock pads.
I have one more fabric insert tweak to try. I keep hoping the Yenona's sound will pull together and be it was at the start (great sound).
Why not to try amplitude corrector filter like with HD-681? Lot more fine tuning settings.
So, how is the build quality on the cb-1's? Plastic bands are a major turn off, but if they're sturdy, well built, and potentially easy to mod to a metal band, then I'll keep em instead of returning them. That is of course, if they do arrive.
You said that the marantz are better than the cb-1's. The cb-1's were about twice the price of ISK mdh-9000's haha. Really starting to regret my buy.
Also kind of curious about what Zeos would think about the marantz/ISK's. He loved the cb-1's, and if the marantz are better, then I'm sure he'd be all over these
