Hrm,
 
They're adding a lot of gimmicky stuff. I hope it doesn't affect their actual listening experience. Beyers are quality, up & down. I hope these retain that and are not taking a dive in any direction.
 
Very best,

My thoughts exactly upon reading the OP.

So is there any word on price and availability? I'd certainly be interested. 

 

[Ultrainferno]

Price is around 150€ and 200€ for the "top" model, 30€ for the mod kit.
If I read well, available from June

The headphones are based on the DT770M.
The bass regulation works very well. From "where is it", to neutral bass (like DT880), to Bass like DT770, to BOOM!

Very interesting...I wonder about the actual sound quality though. Can't wait to see some more formal reviews on these!

why havent they used velour?

Looks pretty nice, hope they dont have chrome spinners as an option.

A lot of people have been wondering why none of the large professional audio manufactures have targeted the Beats and fashion crowd. Looks like Beyer is giving it a shot.

I'd love for this to be a quality hp with variable sound signatures, but I just don't see it happening even with Beyer...
