Vacuum tube amplified headphones...


....is an item that personally I've no real interest in, nor am I in any way linked to or have any potential to make any financial gain upon....nor do I know any of those involved with them....

But, in the interest of those would might find such an item of interest:

Kickstart This...

When a pair hits your pate, let me know if it's a hit *ow*...or a miss *(f/m voice) "What?..."*

I get notifications on K/S projects, and this is the 1st one I've seen of this nature.
If I see anything of an 'phile nature, I'll post it 'for your consideration'...just because. ;)

Have a great weekend, J

Their claim that tubes are better for music listening is a spurious claim that won't stand up in court!

Plenty of choices already for those desiring a tube-output headphone amp! Anyway, I am unfamiliar with the cold-vacuum device they plan to use. How does it compare to the standard triode tube?

Appropriately named old coot. 
 

Nice marketing. I’ll be interested to see some reviews by real audiophiles before passing judgment. Although I am skeptical. 

@ghdprentice ...You could be the 1st real one.."....*mild tease*  ...and the 'marketing' is pretty much in the 'higher end' of Kickstarts of the tech types.  Impressed me enough to run it by y'all for YHOs'...

Just for fun, and something to kick around.

@jasonbourne71 , I know there's tubed 'phone amps, but they're corded as far as I'm aware; this seems BT'd, so there's that...

It plainly states it's more for the 'streamers';  anyone walking about with their better than average portable source, be it a cell or player might enjoy it v. ear buds...

I do find the chip involved interesting, and it's certainly one of a kind at this point.

The cost of a pair doesn't seem all that out of line in comparison with other 'niche 'phones'.  Not something I'll lust for, but I'm not Everyman either....*L*

Got my own 'tendencies' to throttle... ;)

Me too...

But any innovation in headphones interest me now...

Thanks to the OP...
