https://www.rha-audio.com/cz/blog/38180/announcing-the-cl2-planar

We're proud and excited to announce the CL2 Planar; a planar magnetic in-ear headphone with both wired and wireless configurations.



The CL2 is supplied with a 12-hour Bluetooth neckband - compatible with high-fidelity aptX™ streaming - as well as a braided copper cable 3.5mm, and balanced, silver-coated 2.5mm cable.



Using universal connections - MMCX - the CL2's housings are usable with other detachable cables; and the cables are usable with any other detachable housings.

The CL2 Planar is available for pre-order from today, 23 August, and will ship on 12 September 2018.

I assume you need to invest in some kind of amp mandatory as well?

 

[Ithilstone]

Not necessarily as such a small planar driver will need way less juice than full size one and RHA is confident it will sound good with their small wireless one so even good mobile like LG V30 should be more than enough - but time will tell

 

[B9Scrambler]

This thing looks pretty cool. Tiny planar tech for the win!

ROW?

This is definitely interesting... Will be fun to compare these to the isine20 and see how they compare.

I'm worried that the bass simply won't have the weight that it needs with this small of a planar driver...

ROW?

Rest of the World I believe.

Oh great, the Treble blade projectiles now has gone wireless.

Hello! Impedance at 15 ohms; sensitivity at 89dB for these but no amp required - but a good source recommended, as ever.

@RHA Team do you have available any sort of sound signature description / measurement? In the similar price point and shell type-size there are just a few contenders - quite old Shure SE846, Westone W80 and AKG N5005, so naturally everyone will be very curious how CL2 stacks against those. Hope CL2 are the closest to the reference / neutral tuning

Are there going to be demo pieces for audition at IFA Berlin? Thanks!

Hi John, someone has uploaded the website graph in the other thread; I'll try find the original as well. CL2 will very much be at IFA (see you there!).

Cheers,

Can you please describe the bass. Quantity and quality.
Say compared to a shure se846.
Just so o can have a reference.

Did someone actually heard the thing? How does it sound?

 

[Trager]

Why am I suddenly tempted to fly to IFA???
