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

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...

@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,
