this listing on Amazon says it was first listed on July 2017, so i was wondering if it's the updated version? https://www.amazon.com/Periodic-Audio-Be-Beryllium/dp/B073TVZRV4

sorry for the annoying Q's, cheers... Seems to be out of stock on the Periodic Audio site.

How is Periodic Audio going to know if a retailer still has stock from before the cable change? Try contacting the seller.

Unless they are not selling many of these headphones it is probably a safe bet they have the new version.

They have V2s - all our dealers have V2s. We are the only ones left with V1 cable systems.

We do not normally stock new products on our own site; we keep our dealers well-stocked. We handle older V1s and cosmetic blemishes.

@Roscoeiii seems you underestimate Periodic Audio!

@Pinkus @DanWiggins

Lesson learned! Now where did I put my Be?

 

[Geared4me]

Thanks for all of the updates @DanWiggins, I'm glad I asked!

My berrylium had it's strain relief come out of nowhere, so I reinforced it with some sugru B-)

Will Carbon have the same housing as Be?

 

[mochill]

All should have same housing

 

[episiarch]

The Carbon prototype had the same housing as the others, and a black end cap.

What is the difference between v1 and v2? and visual differences?

What is the difference between v1 and v2? and visual differences?

Per it's cable, splitter, plug, slight change to the color of the Ti end cap, and no changes to the sonics.

Love the foam tips, and the whole line up is the best sounding in every given price point

Hi all. Would anyone know when the UK distributor will be tied up? Met Dan @ CanJam London. Fell in love with the Be.

Diamond vs Berilium, is there any penalty besides a lower level of efficiency?

Diamond vs Berilium, is there any penalty besides a lower level of efficiency?

It's a really different sound. Be is plenty bassy itself, but C applies an extra thick coating of deep smooth bassiness which may not be ideal for all types of music and certainly isn't ideal for all tastes — Dan says people either love them or hate them.

The way Dan explained it to me (approximately; these are my interpretations of his words) was that diamond has even more stiffness than beryllium, and an even higher speed of sound within the material — so the diaphragm is acting even closer to an ideal piston pushing air — but the added mass means C's driver doesn't coast to a stop as immediately as Be's driver does, and this comes across as increased prominence in low notes with longer driver excursions.

And it's $100 more, which you could call a penalty.
