Does anyone know when these are being released?

Dune 2 has just been postponed to March 2024 due to the actors/writers strike.

On a Korean Website. The same images were present recently at a HiFi Show in Hong Kong in a booth run by the local Focal/Naim distributor so I guess they must be legit. Check out the clip at 19:20 into the video;

UPDATE: Just spoke to the HK Distributor. The Dune Version will arrive in Sep 2023.

Nice

Thanks for looking into this!

Are these actually associated with Dune or just a nickname due to the colour scheme?

Should have got Zendaya to model them

I don't think they are actual Movie Dune ones although with some of the marketing you would be forgiven for thinking they were!

I wonder if its just a color or new additional features as well. Last time i checked anc was subpar.

Saw it in the shops today for the first time.

Yep, seems Hong Kong has got the scoop on these... compared to rest of world? Personally prefer this color scheme vs Bathys, but won't be paying the $ delta

They are the same price as the black ones, at least in Hong Kong they are.
