It's finally here! The wait is over. I managed to stumble across this while going through the company's website: https://www.kaldasresearch.com/pages/inox
Almost 5 years have gone by since Kaldas Research entered the headphones industry with its RR1 Conquest open-back electrostatic headphones. At an asking price of $500, it shook up the electrostatic manufacturer market quite a bit. This is the headphone that so many of us fell in love with, it granted us a chance to experience the electrostatic "sound" without breaking the bank. To be fair, we weren't left starving for all this time, as Aumkar Chandan launched the CAL.1H under Altiat, a sister company to Kaldas Research, just about 2 years ago.
However, some of us have been hearing rumors and teasers of an upcoming headphone launch under Kaldas Research. Knowing Aumkar's passion and sheer dedication to breaking new grounds, especially those in in-house manufacturing, I knew it was going to be something spectacular. He established his technical ability to manufacture great-sounding headphones with the RR1 Conquest, and with the CAL.1H, he established that he can take manufacturing and design to the next level. A second product in Kaldas Research's portfolio is a big deal, and most of you know exactly why. Whatever headphone that came after the RR1 Conquest couldn't just be an improved and better-performing headphone; it had to be something worthy enough of carrying the Kaldas Research name whilst not taking away any value from the RR1 Conquest.
It is 2024 now and Kaldas Research just announced the upcoming release of INOX — the world's first commercially manufactured consumer closed-back electrostatic headphone (ain't that a mouthful, huh?). There appear to be many intriguing specifications and details about the INOX. Let's start off with the subjective: design. In my opinion, it achieves a similar sleek and futuristic design that the CAL.1H had, but with a more normal and tame appearance. As for the rest, I will update this thread once I read the entirety of the detailed description on Kaldas Research's website.
I will leave out the technical specifications and graphs. I hope someone with more knowledge in that field can post them here. However, I must say that it's in the technical specifications where INOX stands out the most. This is where its greatest achievements are at.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know the drill. This thread is a place where you can discuss the INOX and share your impressions. It's a free and open-minded space without any censorship or moderation from the manufacturer. With this said, take it away!
