That Ultrasone Edition 15 looks sweet!, how did that sound?

Nice shots Mr.OTL, it was a pleasure meeting you at the show. I'll put up my pics some time. What were your highlights at the show? Personally for me it was the Mr. Speakers ES electrostats headphones, and the Mass Kobo 406. The Mr.Speakers nailed it better than its prototype last year sounding more balanced. Whilst the Mass Kobo 406 is just grand yet transparent sounding. The price is an eye popper for sure though.

I will tell little detail about it later soon. I am working on now

It was happy to see you too.
Well.. Actually, I didn't check the newest one from Mr.Speakers and Also Mass Kobo 406.
I have been interested in portable audio and looking for its market trend changes.
If I pick one of in the show...
Maybe... the product which makes me interested in is called Lotoo Paw Pico.
The its build concept was interesting to me.

Amazing shots, may I ask your gear when you took these?

Thank you!
I took with Nikon D850, 35mm f1.8 ED G, and no flash.

Damn that D850! Lovely beast, I bought one but my Nikon friend "misplaced" it. I bet he's just keeping it for himself right now...

Kidding aside I lent it to him without expecting it back, but with shots like those... tasty!

Hey buddy, was nice to see you in Fujiya Avic, sorry I can't make it to the show in Korea this time. See you soon and I hope we can go to the show next year.

It was the first out-door shooting with the D850. Man... I was shocked when I check the results. This will be the best gear of DSLRs for me.

I was pleased to meet you again. I wish can see you in next year.

Glad to see someone else expressing their opinion on Mass Kobo 406. Describing the sound as grand as you said is exactly how it should be put.

I've yet to hear anything matching this kind of life-like presentation. The only thing that I can imagine that could beat it, or at least come close, are Viva Audio Egoista 2A3 and 845. Unfortunately, I'm yet to hear either of them. Anyone else heard model 406 as well and do you currently consider it to be the best sound you ever heard, or is there something even better you can share with us?
