some got a set of Halo EH-1 estats, it ain't high end but got some tech from the high-end, somewhat like the Focal Clear.

warning: don't misread the model as HE1 from Senn

price at $599 or $699 included a very small amp, not sure the about final retail price, seriously back ordered, inflation whatever.

The amp def won't be enough to drive into high-end level, but fine for desktop usage, just as small as Stax D10. should we call it mini amp...

The whole build is a bit ugly, no golden stators as we can see from the sides, but what do you expect at this price point. (forget about es1a or CRBN whatsoever, all those aim at very highest end.)

the round shape inspired by Stax, but the diaphragm got a very thin metal coating, which is a tech from the HE1, but not as advanced, and there's no "goldness" on the stators, so it won't be reached the Stax SR-009S on tech level. (let alone HE1)

Stax at sight, HE1 at heart, in poorman's sense.
