Subscribed. Those 106mm planar drivers got my attention for sure

Planar drivers in full sized headphones are typically that size if you look at audeze headphone specs for example. Hifiman usually doesn't give out this info though

He did mention they were 'prototypes'. Lol

There is such a thing as a 'working prototype'

Agree, but not at $300!!!

Yes that $300 price is very exciting, if these can outperform an he400i, then monoprice will definitely be a big name to consider.

I have a feeling they are aimed at the 560, not the 400 series.

subbed. for 299 (and a few good reviews) i'd take those in a heartbeat ... unfortunately, I have yet to figure out an 'easy' way to get monoprice stuff to wherever in the world I am

Thanks Lohb .. I did that with Massdrop once ... and that just takes the 'fun' out of it (there goes the savings) .. and that was to a 1st world country Most of the year I am in a 3rd world country where longer shipping times, corrupt customs officials and incomprehensible tax laws add to that 'fun'  
 
Have to wait, see and continue drooling

woah, 106mm drivers .. I have to admit that I never heard of such size cans before, but that's because I never checked the data on Audeze stuff Now I am drooling even a bit more ... as we all know, bigger is better ;D

Cool - I've been looking for some nice headphones for the gym!

It's interesting to see that they sell a $50'ish(with a coupon) OEM Dragonfly 1.x(same top LED's, same "Streamlength" USB code): http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15494
 
They are well aware of our expectations and can prolly throw bigger bucks at chinese OEM than any niche ortho manufacturer, all this said distortion and diaphragm tension must be extremely hard to consistently QA on 10cm drivers
