Friends, forums, countrymen... lend me your ears.
It has been almost exactly 4 years since we released a new in-ear headphone. Why?
I - Time - timeless products take time. ____ wasn't built in a day. We aim for perfection and settle only between excellent and perfect.
II - Innovation - We didn't want to release something until we can truly push the bar further in the industry (and that is VERY hard to do as IEMs have become commodity-like)
III - On/Over Ear Projects - truthfully our "M-class" audio and project team was laser focused on finishing our VAMP VERZA, XS, M-100 and other hi-fi projects
IV - CopyCats - we don't want to be ripped off (look how many Vibe clones there are)
V - ABCP - we love love love, I mean LOVE metal. Did I mention we love metal and hate circles? ABCP - Anything But Circles & Plastic!
VI - Comfort - wearing and tuning too many in-ears began to hurt my ears physically!
VII - XS - the size of XS meant we didn't need to save space, it truly became a portable wonder with its small folding size and comfort
VIII - CanJam!
Let the Crowdsourcing commence!
Right now, I am in my hotel room in Denver near Rocky Mountain Audio Festival/CANJAM. I am about to go to Canjam and let people listen and test-drive a few new in-ears. However, like the car industry masks their future designs, the industrial design that you may see may be fake or changed.
Here are the first two items you can give us feedback on:

II Name
