The new headband looks good but the existing one works fine for me and my 2.5.

According to Facebook

All xtc will get this headband
All XTC original owners with old band can pay $50 bucks shipping to upgrade their headband
All others can get headband upgraded for $100 plus shipping.

😁

The headband design is inspired by the 1936 Kodak Bantam art deco camera!

Pretty rad.

I had an excellent session this morning with the XTC 2.5 and the Woo Audio tube mini. The synergy is awesome, incredible spaciousness, and the little WOO drives the hell out of them.

Very cool, and the Woo looks very tempting.

What is the Sony you are using out of curiosity?

NW-WM1Z M2...when you plug in a USB it is straight sound, none of the Sony DSP tricks or EQ function, only volume and play controls.

Got mine yesterday morning.
Listen to it in the late evening about 2h.
Sounds very very good.
The look is fantastic. I will post some pics soon (if you want.... :grinning:).

Which pads do you use with your XTC 2^5?

I changed this morning to the angled leather pads with inside perforation.
It´s a bit a pain in the ass but i make it....
This is better going on the ZMFs......
Let´s see how it will sound. with these.....

I used the new square extra thick pads. Really brings out a tighter bass and even more detail.
