"The Orfice..." (instead of Orpheus) That's a brilliant product idea! You should make a huge oversized scrunchy looking thing that looks like a sphincter muscle that you put over your head, but inside it's a pair of headphones! Maybe you could market it as an accessory for the Sennheiser HE-1's, and charge $10,000. Hell, maybe ship it with deeper pads and design it so that it makes the HE-1's long term comfortable.

Last time I was in Japan I really needed to go take a shit, so I walked into an audio store desperately looking for a toilet. Before I walked in, I saw a poster for the HE-1's in the door and I remarked to my girlfriend how expensive those things where. As I walked in, on a table with two old Japanese men tending to it was the Sennheiser HE-1's. I was shocked, I never thought Id actually see a pair in real life since they were so expensive, the old Japanese men saw my interest and gestured for me to sit down to try them. They started taking them out the box and putting them on my head, they gave me a choice on like 5 albums (one was michael buble?) I put on a Jazz Album. It was Incredible, totally ruined headphones for me and I actually pretty much stopped watching Z's content (The SHP9500 and the MX40s he recommended are my only daily drivers) since nothing could come close to these and I cant afford them. Anyway, I didn't end up shitting myself the poop kind of just reabsorbed into my body. Magical experience. Thankyou Z.

Totally agree about an affordable version without the marble and motorized parts. You say Tungsten is the closest you can get, but is it still close using the 32V Fosi V3 and is it dependant on the DAC? I'll be using a V3 & Chord Mojo 2 as DAC to start with. Also, is the Tungsten limited in production numbers? I don't have the spare disposable income to buy them outright at the moment, but I definitely want a set and if they are being made in batches, based on order demand, I should be able to pick up a set in a few months.

[@ZReviews]

I found with testing you need a solid R2R dac,, aka ef600 and then that Tube Hybrid 604 with the new 9.2 revision drivers. It sings. He is making small batches.. Maybe he can pull off 15-20 a month. Maybe. if supplies don't have issues. Which is why it isn't officially out yet. he is dripping it out to get some more capital for the big push after summer.

[@SpirallingOut]

@@ZReviews Nice. Thanks. I'll have to make do with a V3/Mojo 2 setup to begin with. I'm told the 48V V3 runs the smaller Magnepans anyway, so I'll be investing in a set of my endgame speakers (LRS+) and a servo sub at some point to test this. Also, I reached out to Fosi and asked them to make a set of mono amps based on the successful V3 and they said they might because others have also asked for monos too, so look out for that. Exciting times for hifi enthusiasts. 👍

I listened to LZ II and Miles "Blue" on vinyl and Steely Dan "Aja" and a few others, from my phone. Although it was very good, I did not find the experience to be as transformative as reported. By way of comparison, I have a set of Stax L700 MKII and a KGST, HD650, Argons (RP MKII) and a few others. In my opinion, it was just not that many multiples better then headphones in my collection or that I have heard.

The market is gearing for a revolution with E-Stats graduating to in home status like the Planar 7-10 years back. If memory serves, the Monolith M1060 was released in 2017 which is my first real planar when I realized I loved them for fun (though not perfect). Most my headphones now are planers. If Sennheiser could make a well rounded E-Stat with bass for the $800 - $1K mark, that pairs well with the topping amp they might be able to front run the common man E-Stat market. If the topping would not work, and since the iFi is like $3.5K, they could devised a system for a few K, it could take the world by storm. Give it a great preamp section for computer audiophiles that drive bookshelf/monitors for nearfield listening.

[@ChrisStoneinator]

Stax SR-X1 is new, is exactly what you describe, and nobody seems all that bothered

[@rbsorg]

@ChrisStoneinator that's tempting! Appreciate you letting me know.

[@ChrisStoneinator]

@@rbsorg I heard them yesterday, after demoing other headphones that every KZbinr raves about for 3 hours and not really getting on with any. I put the Stax on, played 3 seconds of Magnum’s Two Hearts, turned to the dealer and said “that’s the one!” They just sound like music. I don’t think about stuff like “frequency response” and “slam” and “PRaT” and “warmth” while I’m wearing them. They just make songs sound like I imagine them in my head. You can get just the headphones for £550 inc tax, or I think $450 plus tax. If you want the matching energizer (which doesn’t need to be driven off an amp and has its own volume control) that’s $899 plus tax or £1300 Yeah we got shafted on the price in the UK and I’m not even as mad as I probably should be. In hindsight I should’ve probably got a used Stax energizer for cheaper, but the matching system defo sounds like £1300-worth to me and I don’t have to worry about a used amp blowing up the new headphones and being left with no warranty for either (is that copium I smell?) I’ll confess I didn’t research how much the headphones alone cost or how much we’re getting screwed by importers in the UK, I just heard them, heard the price and went “deal” cuz I was so excited. So if you can get the whole thing for $899 plus tax I’d absolutely consider trying a pair.

even $5k is somehow crazy price even for those who really like music

[@ZReviews]

I've been out in the audio trenches for a good while now. I've seen what the madlads are willing to pay for TOTL. It's quite a lot.

[@shaymcquaid]

Does Zeos have a playlist somewhere?

[@olimphus26]

They just need to release the headphones separately and let us use our own energizers and stuff. The energizer and DAC are probably driving up the price at $50K.

[@DragonTamerCos]

Well, I think that's a good idea but, how it's engineered, it isn't like any other electrostatic headphones so it doesn't really correlate.

[@ZReviews]

Yeah with the Fets in the cans themselves you can't do that. Its 100% proprietary.

[@Peace_Guard]

They won't, because people would be largely unimpressed with headphones alone.

I fully understand what you mean with the better than real life comment. That's exactly how I feel with my Qd-Oled TV, and when I tell people that they look at me strangely, until they see the TV in person, then they agree, and we wonder how it's possible, lol.

Lg g2? 😉

Have to have you try out the Warwick Acoustic Aperio now. Heard from almost everyone who has tried it that it's better than the HE1 and is half the price!!

What did his wall speakers sound like

[@EGreddragon07]

Are you going to review the Mark Levinson 5909?

[@randalltufts3321]

Awesome video Z. The marble is very fixable to the point of not being able to tell. 60k. Nope. Because its amazing just how fast China will copy just the important parts and not the asthetics. After thats done which won't take long it'll be available to a whole lot more people. There is a lot of tech inside but its not new new and most of it is ic, and they do that stuff every day . When it becomes financially feasible, it'll be made available. Your right Z. This type of thing should be available in a much more reasonable platform. Few people have that kind of " walking around money " lol

high voltage is a whole different ball game, there's only so much you can make cheap without compromising safety.

[@randalltufts3321]

@@BwanaJesuasifiwe i buy those exact parts from China in bulk weekly . You'd be surprised just how ridiculously cheap parts are at the level at which I purchase them. Where do you think those parts come from? America? LoL. Nope. High voltage??? LoL nope. I can Assure you that there is less than 100 in wholesale parts inside the brick they put it in. And thats in usa currency lol . And labor costs wahoo boy let me tell ya we can't even compete there . Where do you think that board was assembled? 🇺🇸 USA LOL not a chance. They literally have a acre feet of pick n pull machines running full time that assemble these things automatically. Copy or "clone" has no validation in the tech world today. We are literally buying the "authentic " parts or boards they are assembling for American resellers. America has done this to itself and its workers at our own peril. Its sad

[@gabrielgavril3435]

They are really the Best sounding headphones?

[@wollaminfaetter]

I'll have two of those.... with extra carrara marble, and some anti-psychotic on the side please.
