Imagine that, in the following .gif, that Mr. Bluth is Val, and that Buster is all of us. (May need to click on it).

 PIC OF PACKAGE... it seems so small compared to our others with the new cases.
 

 
 FYI - the hanger will match the product headband inside now

 Now that is beautiful. It is really nifty how the the hanger matches the headband kinda like a preview haha

I thought we weren't doing matte black? But since you are, wallet is ready.

 
a new matter-than-lp2 Matte Black color is in and it was first in line for PP, but it has a little surprise you'll see soon.  You can thank Jude for it - love it or hate it ;>. He me do it when I talked to him a few weeks ago about M-100 status!

 

[daphen]

Will you post pictures of the colors before the PPU's are available? And will the brushed aluminum finish of the M-80's be available on the white model?

I had my mind made up that I was going to get the Shadow M-100 but now I'm back to being confused on which color to get cause of this tidbit of news.

Great news, I was planning on getting the Matte black one anyway. Hopefully I can get my hands on a PPU unit though

Haha guess I'll pick up one of these when the MP come out. Will be out for 2 weeks without a computer, so pretty much impossible to order. Good luck to the people here! (less competition)

Thanks!!!  I'm so amped too, I am wearing the first unit right now, the cable is shocking and looks killer. They won't go on sale quite yet until we sort and see what we "yield".
...
 
In the end, this is very good news on the sound based on my years of experience that the yield will be >90% in both the next PP round/rework and the MP. Have no fear, the rejects aren't trashed with our on/over-ear products, they just go back to school and get new drivers/parts until they pass!  
...
 
I don't have time to do a fancy drawing now but I'm working on one. Many "audiophile brand" curves actually are not flat and from low to high the SPL is constantly rising.  OR they artifically spike the highs.  This is terrible...  Ours usually have a bass boost (ranging from medium to "freq'), but we aim to keep the mids and highs flat.  I like to say "don't get too high"  
 
M-100 is going to be the best low-volume listening we've made IMO because the highs have a much further extension than our other models and the overall clarity is amazing.  We do have some bass boost however, so maybe if you listen at 50% volume for older songs we can find an EQ setting that is optimal. Or... another solution is VQ: 

 
 
Interesting. I am looking forward to reviewing the M-100. I, in particular, am very picky about the treble and mid-range balance. Having a flat curve on paper can sound different depending on the listener as even the widely popular Audeze LCD-2 sounds disappointing to my ears (not to say that I'm going to compare the M-100 to the LCD-2).

Matte Silver Finish on Stainless Steel - Looks and Feels like a million bucks, this finish took a long time to perfect!  Look ma, no spots.
 

 
I love the look of raw metal, especially stainless. I feel it exposes the care that was taken in making the part, something I appreciate even more since working in the machine shop during engineering school. Will the matte non-painted part only appear on white units?

Time to gift my little brother the M80s and upgrade to the M100  

 

[Dorphaus]

I had my mind made up that I was going to get the Shadow M-100 but now I'm back to being confused on which color to get cause of this tidbit of news.

Same here, is it the Shadow scheme that has the orange cable with it? But then again the matte scheme comes with some kind of surprise, according to Val.

True I did in between listens... my golden ear Bill is about to bring over his final analysis models to the room.  I actually am going to study the "WORSE" of the PP as much as the best if not more.  Defense is the best offense!

 
Thumbs up for a great approach to quality control!

Military-grade build quality and work ethic that's actually directly influenced by the military?  That's just... so damn cool.

I think that's what they'll ship with, but I'm sure he'll let us order different colours...

Has anyone got a preview pic of the black/orange, or are we still waiting?
