Hopefully we'll be able to demo them here in Europe.

Anyone know specifics concerning pricing for current Raal owners?

Headphone.Shop in Heidelberg will have one for demo. Euro pricing has already been discussed on the SR1a thread. Different pricing will reflect Immanis full-set including new star8 cable and ‘naked’ with just the case. I’m sure Aleks will be along soon to give all the relevant updates.

Good... pricing information in the other thread didn't appear to be be from the manufacturer or product rep, and- as you hinted at above - was incomplete.

Awful headband for the price...

Look forward to hearing more on how it will be available in Asia as well. :)

Is that all you have to say?
Has somebody paid you to come here and make negative comments?
Those of us who own Aleks’s previous ‘could be better’ attempts love them primarily for their sound quality and probably also for their unconventional looks.
Come back and reiterate your negative comment once you’ve heard them.

I will add that it appears to be similar to the SR1a headband, which I wear 6+ hours a day and find extremely comfortable.

I have seen some other quick'n'dirty pre-production pictures of the Immanis, and the headband looks definitely more refined than the SR1a/CA1a. Nothing super fancy, but the effort of building something more luxurious shows up.

However, I would wait until RAAL 1995 shows the fully finished product official photo shooting for conclusive comments.

Also, I hope RAAL 1995 will creat an Official thread that supersedes this one as soon as they get the MoT status on the platform, where the opening post or few posts disclose as much as possible pictures and tech info - and launch pricing including VAT - of their new brand and product line, directly from the horse's mouth.

I envisage such thread has the potential to become another "classic" on Head-fi summit fi, with hundreds of pages growing over the next few years :)

The real thing lies underneath...

I specifically did not want to do some CNC embroidery, I prefer understating whenever possible.
Folded edge on both layers, soft layer in the middle, diamond pattern cushioning on suede (for grip)...thread matches the wood...seen only by the owner, most of the time...
Loops around the buckle/click-stop, replaceable without tools.
