    I don't know how to browse for "Coming Soon" products, @DigMe . If I have enough of the name to put in the Search Box I can find something. Like - Massdrop PLUS universals - found it.

    Under $300 (barely). Unless you want to add the $30 balanced cable. (But, they don't yet mention if there is a shipping charge.)

    @philipmorgan they don’t seem to be, but then I tend to use Walkmans primarily. Sounded great from an iPad.

    Someone with a wider array of DAPs would be a better source of info there.

    I think I'm glad I've dragged my feet on the UE4. I just told my wife I wanted to go on Monday morning to get scanned... Now I'm not so sure!

    @philipmorgan I have played with this on an array of sources. It's not picky and is easy to drive. I'm using a Noble lightning cable on it right now with nice results.

    Massdrop comments begging for review units and "why 300, 100 pls" aside, does seem pretty interesting, possibly Starkey OEM.

    They have a good point there. Why not $50? After all I'm sure the parts just cost like $40.

    Uh... these are handcrafted acrylic shells in the US. Pretty sure with the labor costs, they're not making too much money.

    CEE TEE was telling me about how much effort they put into this project, and how long it had been in the making. I could sense the pride in his words. These are a labor of love, made from the ground up by enthusiasts with experience in this industry. It’s not just some factory in Asia spitting them out and Massdrop slapping their name on it.

    Smiley faced tube is a clever way to gain more surface area. Nice.
