Around 100. He said he will make more if he could though.

Yikes... may not be able to wait for production units after 100 to get the bugs worked out then. Either way, I think most of the headphone is pretty well built and the sound is very desirable.

I don’t think it is expected to be a limited release. Maybe production will slow while supply chain restraints remain powerful but should keep making them. I believe that’s ESLabs intent.

If it sells- hell find a way to make them...

Look at bottom. It does say limited production due to wood, drivers, and foam. So don’t wait if you want one.

I would advise the fence sitters to get one from this batch. It's a good batch so far. @Whitigir has one of these for sale still, I think. No telling how many more batches are left, or what the wood stock will be like.

Snake oil?

Snake oil?

It's hard to say.

Both bottles came upto $40. Not bad.
Howard on Amazon has killer ratings. 90% approve. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BKQYGW/ref=emc_b_5_i

The only lie I got was that the orange smell is not strong enough. I barely smell it

Is there any particular technique you use when doing this? I've never polished headphones. Matter of fact I've never polished anything...hahaha. I don't want to mess anything up.

1. Use cloth. Anything, even a old clean T-Shirt will do.
2. Use about a tbsp on 1 headphone cup each. I counter clock wise wipe. Only 1 direction.
3. Let it sit for 1 hour or day. Let it soak in.
4. Wipe again counter clock wise with cloth.

Nothing else to do. For me clean old T shirts are the best.

Not an ES-R10 but a Grado RS1x after Howard’s Feed ‘N Wax……

I buy a pack of cheap white cotton T-shirts for waxing my Tannoys. That's a dark paste wax though (Liberon Black Bison). @protoss I like the sheen I can see. Can you post "broadside" pics? How do you like the effect in person?

After 2 hours. I wiped off the excess oil and noticed it looks better but somewhat the same? I might need to let it soak in for 24hrs or more and see next time.
I took with flash and no flash pics. To get an idea.
