Reply to Upcoming "Professional AR Headphones for the Metaverse" with spacial audio and "air-driven vibration function" by TRX808
"Air-driven vibration function" ...well um, yes, that is generally how sound is generated by various sorts of speakers. I really hope that's not what they mean by that.

I'm over here hoping HE1000 comes in a plastic grocery bag, just to keep the trend going.

Environment my arse! They're cutting costs to make more profit. I dont know why they can't be honest about that. 🤷‍♂️

Reply to comment by red_baa_ron in Focal Bathys Soft vs Silent ANC setting -> differences by BingaBenga
We are talking 2.3db with ANC on, so it makes sense that you can't perceive it. Doesn't mean it's not there, but there is around a .5db increase in the noise floor of the ANC soft mode. Again, probably not audible, but could be why BingaBenga perceived a sound quality difference.
​
Of course, this is just one reviewer's sample. There is probably some unit variance as well.

Bought a pair of 660s a couple months ago and can confirm they do have the fancy box

Yes, it is. Perhaps I am overreacting, but I think I might return them and look for a mint condition used pair that comes with the original packaging.

Big whoop... As far as I'm concerned, youtubers are the prime audience when it comes to premium unboxing experiences.

I bought a pair like 2 months ago and they came with it.

Shipping should be fine since they came inside a separate box, but not getting the old packaging is a shame

USPS just dropped my shipment off a couple of minutes ago, and the outer carton is way too small and light for it to the old packaging. I'm kicking myself for not ordering last month, but I was indecisive and couldn't decide what to buy. Boxes and packaging are actually kind of important to me. Ugh!

Who cares about the box, isn't the product itself more important??

Seems like it started this batch. Posts from Feb still had the old box. Just got mine and they came in new packaging :(

Yeahhhh. Was quite disappointed about this myself... But man do they sound good, forgot about the lack of fancy box in a few minutes :D
Although, the smaller box does ease shipping costs in the event that I intend to sell them. However its' been 2 solid months and I don't think they're going anywhere.
NubberOne t1_jdjkovt wrote
Looks like a change made for this batch. Posts on Drop still had the box from Feb and my order in March came in same packaging as yours. Box also says made in Ireland, and I believe that the old ones were made in Vietnam? Not sure
