So far I just don't see that they could have saved very much weight on this design. Of course for those who had trouble with the Audeze "hot spot" will appreciate the suspension type headband.
Can those who have actually put a pair on your head please comment? Or are they allowing that?
I don't know if comfort is a priority for Audeze. If you heard that planar headphone panel (youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nxXwHJURXU)... Mr. Rosson appears to be more focused on advancing the sound through actual material science changes, and sees more tolerable weight and improved comfort as the by-product of better materials.
With the new offerings from Hifiman and Oppo so focused on comfort as well as sound, I think that the new Audeze will lose some weight as well!
These headphones do look very promising, but with Audeze's pricing strategies, I think that these will be out of my budget range
