The Hifiman Sundara closed back are available at $399 and feature a planar magnetic driver. This dekoni dynamic driver version is trying to compete with that??

Thanks for your Closed Sundara and Sonoros III impressions!
Once upon a time, about a decade ago, I was wow’ed by Planar Magnetic drivers. These days I feel both Dynamic and Planar drivers are of comparable quality and maturity of design, but I don’t automatically think one has the advantage over the other. I do feel like they have different strengths.

EvshrugFunny you should mention that. Many years ago, I bought a slightly used set of Audeze Sine. That was my first Planar and it blew me away compared to a few of my mid to hifi dynamic drivers. Unfortunately the Sines wore out and I never replaced them. Where I live there are no longer any "hi-fi" stores. I want to go back!!

What a guy!
The Dekoni Blue (T50RP mod) had a distinct bass boosted signature, I’m curious if the Cobalt will have a similar defining trait(s).

I haven’t heard this to comment, but are the rich Meze Noir 99 and warm but spacious Ultrasone Siganture X on your list? The ÆON closed is priced a little higher and has (features?) a bit of a softer impact to go with its high detail presentation, some people really like that “ease.” Hopefully soon we’ll be able to leave a shorthand description of the Cobalt’s most distinct characteristics.

Evshruglol I think my goal has been trying to find a closed back with Grado sound signature. Hasn't happened yet, or rather such headphone doesn't exists yet. Meze Noir 99 also doesn't fit my head LOL (my head is bigger than the suspension headband). Ultrasone Signature X I guess I don't know much about it yet, but historically speaking I think Ultrasone has been a bit polarizing. Though Aeon Closed X (or RT) is something that I do want to try one day lol. But generally speaking I'm always curious about every new closed back that comes out! 😆

Uh oh... Drop didn't provide all the important information necessary to keep the whiners at bay... You'd think they would have learned by now. ...or maybe that's the game: get the usual knee-jerk whiners whining. That's one way to get the conversation started anyway.

MotorradI agree drop members are dramatic but driver impedance is one of the most basic and necessary details to know about a headphone.

At Frequency Response: 40Hz-20kHz? These numbers for these headphones tell me that the bass response is not that good. I'm looking for 20Hz - 40kHz. What makes these Hi Fidelity headphones, especially for this price?

The music I listen to has a lot of bass sound (Sythwave, Trance, House and Jazz). Speakers or headphones that can handle the lower frequencies usually have good bass sound from my experience. The reviews that I've seen for these headphones, elude to the fact that they are light on bass. There is nothing wrong with that. It's all a matter of preference.

JamesMJrNo, I said 20kilohertz+. Wanting below 40hz is totally understandable

No FR graph, no shots of the drivers, or how the pads connect. Looks like they took the R9 and replaced funky (and functional) oblong earcups with the plain ones from the R7DX. Now the R9 is a delight, due to the fun signature, good soundstage and comfort… for $249. They need to sell the value and performance on this headphone rather than the names/pads associated with it.

$399, so this is basically trying to replicate the success of the TH-X00 headphones. So it need at least sound better than TH-X00 lol.
Time to look up reviews/impressions.
Though if we're talking strictly about physical looks then I think TH-X00 is winning........

This headphone appears to have been made from spare-parts and given a coat of blue paint.
With a significantly higher release price than the previous (and similar-looking) HIFIMAN collaboration (the HE-R7DX), its unique drivers and overall performance had better offer something truly special...
Or I don't expect it will sell well at all.
