I'm definitely interested in these suckers too.They have redesigned the pads to alleviate the potential of a fit problem.This was the reason for the delay from the original release date. I'm thinking they will also be more comfortable than with the original pad.

I am anxious to hear them. It will be a whole new sound for me because it's a whole new driver design. I was sure not fond of the look of them when I first saw them, but came to the gradual realization that if all the effort was put into the driver research, design, and a construction to keep the headphone as light and resonance-free as possible, it would only pay the sort of dividends that one truly wants in the pursuit of great sound....and that the less-is-more aesthetics would be irrelevant once the headphone is on the head.
I’ll be testing them when they come out. I am expecting a very powerful sound. By all accounts this thing is a beast in a little package. I’ve actually warmed up to the look of it. Like from a 70’s science fiction film. The black one in particular would match well on Darth Vader’s Head.

I don't believe this was shared on Head-Fi yet.

The Phi is as close as you could get to speakers and will probably remain on your desktop. The Diana is a conversation starter at a cafe. It’s gorgeous. It sounds open and effortless, very detailed, and provides a rhythmic and sweet listening experience.

Apparently, for the pre-orders. But looking at those links, I suppose someone could order one today from TEOS and get it earlier? I don't know. It does say "available now" and "add to cart".
It says available now on that TEOS website. Is that accurate?
