Nothing yet.

Nothing yet.

As the note above states, the video will appear the moment it's uploaded. I'm not sure why it's taking this long, as it's usually much faster. Sorry for the delay. Shouldn't be too long.

I thought, that Stellia will be included just in CanJam NYC Preview video. I’m surprised by this, in positive way

 

[lichie]

Hopefully this isn't anything like the Elegia or Sennheiser HD820. Also the brown color is kinda gross looking....

 

[leeperry]

only $3K, street cred will be poor, gotta go $4K these days for flagships or else

 

[Zhanming057]

That design is quite unfortunate - both the color and the trypophobia-inducing design.

It also seems like it's using the Elegia headband and not the Utopia one?
