Most exciting post for me in a LONG time.
Just take my money already and send it to me ASAP!
Exciting! Has the final driver count and array been determined / released?Electrostatic+Planar=Transmit Real Imagination?
Even if this new electrostatic's pricing is in the Starlight constellation ?

I've saved so much money lately because nothing compelling has come out... Also, I believe uncle Joe is about to give me more free money on top of what uncle Donald gave me last year.
I'll do my part to boost the global economy! I will make that sacrifice for everyone and selflessly buy these.
Sorry to carp here but...
I got the Tri I3. Ali shows they arrived Jan. 12. The cable has gone dead on one side, just short of 2 months later. They have only been used deskside -- who's traveling these days? Never left the house, never had any abuse whatsoever.
Luckily I have another MMCX cord for the moment, but I am reluctant to do too much cable-switching with MMCX to preserve the connectors on the buds. For a headphone considerably >$100 this is just unacceptable. I thought KBear knew how to manufacture cables, since they make so many standalones. They shouldn't have had QC problems with these.
EDIT: Tried one more precious connect/disconnect with the I3 cable. The problem is definitely with the I3 cable. My Tennmak cable connects and holds just fine -- I'm lucky it's not in the connector on the buds. But whether it's the snap-in part of the MMCX not holding on, or something else in the cable somewhere, doesn't matter. This is poor quality.

Tri starshine , 2 electrostatic and 2 ba
Don't really care if they are made of moon rocks or vibranium if the cable won't hold.
