recstar24 1,192 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Makes the Sony 1000mx4 seem like a bargain 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catscratch 147 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Looks like head tracking and active DSP correction with a mic to measure internal reflections. Plus a bunch of other tech stuff. The standout part to me is that Tyll was right in predicting the direction in which these sorts of headphones were going to go years ago. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tkam 2,241 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's fun watching people freak out about the price..... Having said that the biggest question I have is the case. Other than it immediately putting the phones in low power mode it seems entirely pointless. Doesn't really provide that much protection and leaves the mesh headband (possibly the least durable part) entirely exposed? Then again I'm not exactly the target market here, this is for the Beats crowd who want a purse/bra shaped case to carry around. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you carry the box around? What shitty headphones are you buying? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
