Looks beautiful! Can't wait to learn more about it!

Did they just copy the Meze Empyrean/Elite headband system?

Did they just copy the Meze Empyrean/Elite headband system?

It does look a lot like the old Acoustic Research AR-HA1 but with a Meze headband.

I do like the design, but I see hybrid pads in the photos and I absolutely loathe hybrid pads, I hope they have some all leather alternatives.

Looks ugly but sounds really interesting. Looking forward to it !

Looks like a squared off meze liric gen 1. Not my cup of tea design wise but would happily grab one if they make up for it with how they sound. Will one be available for demo at CamJam SoCal?

@Shanling What player is that? It has the styling of the MCD1.3 and SCD1.3, but lacks the cd tray above the screen … Is that the SM1.3 by any chance? Finally!! ..

Open back or closed? Not clear (at least to me) from photos.

I believe closed back. Comments at 3:47 of video

Cool thanks for the link, very interested to try them out based on impressions.

I auditioned these at High End Munich this year.
They might have been a late prototype at the time, I don't recall....

What I DO remember is that they reminded me A LOT of the Oppo PM1, but with a smidge more V-shape to the tuning.
I think a lot of people are going to really love these.

 

[buenahora]

what a complete rip off of Meze (Empyrean headband, Liric rods)--very sad. Where's the originality/innovation/creative spirit.....ugh.

 

[SoundMuzik67]

Definitely want to hear these... !!!

 

[ThanatosVI]

Since the headband has been heavily inspired by Meze, I wonder how comfortable these are

 

[Metalingus]

I have an original name suggestion, maybe you can rename the product as Shanling Empyrean. Just an idea tho.
