Don't forget other companies knowing that this product will be released two years ago, with this thread acting as a tease to know the demands of such product ("portable" planar headphone).
Now you have Audeze with a full line of planar IEMs, Sine closed and Sine DX, and also the lightweight "portable" LCD-MX4 at the same price as Diana.

Not a smart decision, IMO they should give prototypes secretly to some nitpicking enthusiast people with good ears and good equipment to compare, then adress all the shortcomings and then, when everything is as close to perfect as possible, release the product.

You've just reminded me how many products Audeze has bought out in recent times. Crazy. None of them as good as the Abyss, but still.

Seems that you fell deeply into an Abyss of love

Who cares, I bet Diana will pair well with Dave, but not as good as Alex the loudspeaker.

Here's the "USA made dual zipper canvas carry case with leather accents and accessory pockets for easy travel" that is now included.

And it's all my fault! (Just kidding.)

I had the SINE. It's surprisingly good for a closed-back at that price point.

 

[ToroFiestaSol]

Yep you started the thread but leaking guru Nomax leaked the info first.
Fault is mine, I should not be posting about something I wouldn't buy even if costs 1/10 of the price.

I'd trade the bag for 3 weeks off ETA for the headphones.

so you've ordered one?

 

[Beagle]

Where have you been?

 

[up late]

is that a yes or a no? if it's a yes, what are your impressions from the audition?

 

[Joe Skubinski]

I was in Tokyo last week for the Fujiya-Avic headphone show. Thought you might want to see a few pictures from Japan...

Started the first day with a press conference introducing our brands and new models to Japan..

Some shots during the show...

Jude made it...

This guy had a serious portable rig...

We drank some serious sake...

We ate some serious sushi...

Tokyo Bay...

 

[Beagle]

Cool, thanks!

Is it possible to post a shot of the new pad shape?

 

[Joe Skubinski]

We don't have the final pads yet, sorry. We're waiting on final leathers, black cable for the black and coffee Diana, and packaging...
