February 23, 201214 yr comment_499548 As headphone sales exceed speaker sales by a fair margin these days, I look for more speaker companies to set their logs in this fire. Report
February 23, 201214 yr comment_499552 As headphone sales exceed speaker sales by a fair margin these days, I look for more speaker companies to set their logs in this fire. Me too. I never thought the Marshall's (not really in this group) or the B&W versions took headphones too seriously. This one might hopefully be different. I'm a Focal fan, though, so maybe I'm just rooting for my own goals... Edited February 23, 201214 yr by bhjazz Report
February 23, 201214 yr comment_499554 Well I'd love to see a serious effort from Thiel. And if Magnepan could develop a great ribbon headphone... Report
February 23, 201214 yr comment_499555 Looks plush. I never bought into using full-size headphones for commute or travel, though. Still, I've seen Beats at the gym, so maybe I'm just weird by normal people standards. Report
February 24, 201214 yr comment_499607 Interesting. Did you notice that the second ad down on his page was for headphone products? Changing world. Report

February 24, 201214 yr comment_499656 They wasted all those words on the Focal headphone and didn't even listen to it? That would be like having a conversation with a model. Past the good looks, the rest would be a let down. Report
February 25, 201214 yr comment_499892 They have a preview section where they give you a heads up of products in-house that are under review. A full-blown review is probably forthcoming....at least I would certainly hope so. An all out assault on the headphone hi-end from companies such as Focal would be quite interesting. As fuel prices wander into ridiculous heights, speaker manufacturers might find some added profitability in shipping more cans than 200lb+ speakers. Report
February 25, 201214 yr comment_499924 .... profitability in shipping more cans than 200lb+ speakers. Because people that buy $75k speakers are worried about $500 shipping. Report
February 25, 201214 yr comment_499935 Because people that buy $75k speakers are worried about $500 shipping. I was thinking more in terms of the mfg's shipping costs to their various dealers, although certainly that cost is buried into the end-user cost. By the way, still enjoying your B22 amp. Report
