LeMat
100+ Head-Fier
If the pads can have such an insane price mark-up, it really makes you wonder also about the mark-up on the headphones themselves.
Lol... What did you guys were expecting?! The closest benchmark is the Solo6 active monitor from Focal...which retails for $1350. C'mon.. it's more or less the same technology behind it. Beryllium tweeter and on top of that, you have nice cabinet, amp, filters, a fancy composite woofer with a massive magnet. How can this retail for basically the price of the Elear?! It's not more mass market than headphone either. Only explanation, mark-up on headphones are huge. It's ok, people are still buying them... myself included. I just ordered an Elear.
