Maybe he meant wood, with carbon fiber glued onto it for the look?
 
In the case that the distancers are around the <$40 CAD mark, I'd be interested. But I would be really interested if you could get a source for the Grado bowls for something more befitting of two pieces of foam (ie. Not $70). I'd rather not pay $100 for a pair of $100 headphones if I can help it.

Carbon fiber, plastic or alike is the only material that is suitable for mass production. When I started designing my distancers 2 years ago, that was also my first approach, I tried to build a form and build casting distancers out of that. Unfortunally, that didn't work out good enough and produced lots of cancer smells in my cellar, so I resigned and chose wood. The downside of wood is that it's a heck of a lot work compared to a simple casting solution.

Ntropic, Idk if you kepts the box the grado's came in, but if you are crafty enough, you can mold the foam from that in the box, I saw a thread here that did that, not the best looking, but apparently they worked well enough
 
NickChen: Yea, I can see where working with wood is unpleasant as opposed to injection molding and the like.  Maybe hitting up Grado for their old mold press would be a good idea haha

Sounds very interesting! I am particularly interested in the sound qualities of carbon fiber over some traditional materials such as, say, wood or metal.

About 5 sets coming out for Beta end of this month.... 

 

[cerebrous]

First prototype pictures =) in first post check it out

 

[apatN]

Nice. Any idea on the aimed price?

 

[cerebrous]

No idea yet
 
once we get them in we will know better once we figure out basic packaging and shipping costs...
 
We are going to try to make it a no brainer with flat rate shipping per country.

I just saw the beta pic and they look very promising, keep up the good work!

Looking very good! I think you guys have a winner..I think if you can keep the price below $40 shipped you'll sell out like hot cakes.
