Vacuum tube amplified headphones...

@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...

Appropriately named old coot. 
 

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

Interesting, but the marketing seems to be full of statements that are simply fallacies. "Add warmth to digitally recorded music." LMAO. Did they involve any actual audio engineers? But wait... "

"Digital signals have MORE to gain from vacuum tube amplification in terms of sound quality simply because there is both, more room, and more need for improvement." Such BS.

Might end up being a decent device but damn, they better refine the marketing if they plan to sell to people with knowledge of audio beyond MP3 and cell phones.

@mahgister ....Hi, I thought this might catch your eyes and interest, since you're a 'phones guy of late.... ;)  As for validity of the catchphrases 'n claims....🤷‍♂️🤞, and all that we can throw at it...

They've hit their goal, so the project should move forward and the 'invested' ought to be 'fulfilled' in their place in the que....

@dean_palmer *L*  If I (or we) believed and bought everything every bit of mental floss tossed our way by any and all of those who tout stuff for us to consume in whatever fashion....

We'd likely drool excessively, drag our knuckles a lot, and all filing for bankruptcy.

Hey!  Another brainseize from yours' unruly....

Let's all volunteer to be testy testers...*LOL*
