Just look at the original 4070... they never estimated a person with a certain shape of the head so fit for those is not great.  

They thought of the human head as a flat test fixture...ignoring the fact that the head is an ellipsoid with a small curvature at the front and a larger curvature at the back. I can only say that I just overestimated Stax's design capabilities in the past.  

Damn, and here I was thinking it was just another singer/songwriter with a uke.  Wowzers, so glad I finally got around to listening to (and watching a little) this VIRTUOSO!  Thank you!  Virtuosity without abandoning musicality, my beloved.  I was in Guitar Center today (selling guitars, didn't buy anything), and I was severely tempted by a Fender Fullerton Jazzmaster Ukelele.  Oh well, maybe I'll get an Enya Moon 5-string Taimane Signature Ukelele after I make big Epstein Didn't Kill Himself Files Do Exist Bucks.

priority SINAD, nothing else matters

Speaking of expensive...  Anyone remember Kai Wong?  In earlier days of YouTube, he hosted a bunch of photography related videos on DigitalRevTV, out of Hong Kong.  DRTV doesn't really exist anymore, but Kai maintains some degree of celebrity in the online photography world.  He's got his own YouTube channel.  I'm not subscribed and have never watched any of his videos (before today) but YT's algorithm has taken note that I have been consuming a fair amount of photography related material recently.  (I've been doing a deep dive on TTArtisan glass, the OG Canon EF 15mm F/2.8 Fisheye -- more on that later -- and of course specific M42 mount lenses like different iterations of the Asahi Takumar 50mm F/1.4.  I learned that my non-multicoated 7 element version is probably radioactive.)  I guess that explains the giant orange hexagon, but I digress... Well, ol' Kai managed to get his hands on a vintage French-made cinema lens, the Som Berthiot Flor 55mm F/1.5.  I don't know a thing about the Flor 55mm or Som Berthiot in general.  I do know that cinema lenses tend to be several orders of magnitude more rare and expensive than ones designed for still frame.  They were made in comparatively infinitesimal numbers and only a small fraction were sold to the general public.  Additionally because motion picture cameras feed the film through vertically, many cinema lenses don't make an image circle sufficiently large to cover the 35mm film plane on a still camera.  The Flor is one such lens and it can be adapted to fit Leica rangefinder bodies.  Consequently a clean example goes for upwards of 60,000 British Pounds in the rare event where one comes up for sale. I'm not necessarily suggesting anyone watch (most) of this video.  In spite of Kai's best efforts with his little handheld wireless mic, the sound quality is lacking.  Add to that the rather thick accents of most of the subjects and it can be a challenge to figure out what they're talking about.  The example shots taken with the Flor are ...fine, but nothing dazzling.  I own a (not so) small army of manual focus primes.  While none of them match the Flor's specific unsharpness and color transmission, I can get to an equally interesting optical space with fair number of my vintage lenses.  I can't mount any of them to Leica body, however.  (Which is mostly fine with me, I have never coveted a Lecia digital body, but I would certainly give an M6 with a 35mm Summicron a go.)  I'll go a step further and say that if there was lens that offered identical optical performance to the Flor, but was made in much larger quantity by a less storied maker (Yashica, for example) it would sell for maybe $100 on eBay.
