Wow! Removable cables, metal headband, no elastic, and wider and lighter drivers!
Oof... $5800...going to need a coupon or a winning lottery ticket.

I've spent my fair share on high-end audio gear, including TOTL headphones, but the recent race-to-the-top pricing seems to be a bit disconcerting lol.

$6,000 appears to be the new $4,000.

That being said, certainly an intriguing offering here and excited to hear the reviews

Exactly, about time flagships would go $8K at this point. Go big or go home.

2 channel audio "summit fi" went into the stratosphere long ago - bigger market, more demand = higher prices. The headphone market has always been niche, hence prices were always pretty low. It's blowing up now, so IMO it's not terribly surprising to see more flagships and higher prices to match the increased market interest.

$6000? Psh. I only buy headphones that cost 5 figures.

Anyone want to buy a kidney?

Anyone want to buy a kidney?

I like my kidneys the way I like my tubes: in matched pairs.

Asking for a friend - Does anyone know how long someone can live without kidneys?

Now I'm really looking forward to the new lambdas, if they're ever going to release one. These MLER III mesh looks totally different from II.

Trickledown tech Lambda is good idea, The SR-L333 is incoming?

 

[dsrk]

I don't know about how they perform but they are definitely going head to head in pricing. $4000 reasonable now?

I'm Outta here...jeez

 

[Tugbars]

I can't wait to see frequency response of these.
