Magnetar
Features an off-the-shelf driver that has been meticulously selected for its use of the finest coating process for Beryllium, which you will never find in ~99% of headphones in the market, as it would cost a hundred times more to produce and most manufacturers wouldn't care about how it's done because they only care to market the word "Beryllium". If you didn’t already know, and to digress with a food example, the majority of the world’s wasabi contains only around 5%, and it’s unfortunate that most people have never tasted real 100% wasabi like most people have never heard a properly made Beryllium-coated driver.
Beryllium has extraordinary stiffness-to-weight ratio and is the most damped of the metals but still poor compared to paper.
Features my custom-developed 3rd and final-generation driver to deliver greater slam and treble performance, with a slight trade-off in technicalities and mid-range reproduction, tuned for a more V-shaped tone. It serves as an alternative to the more neutral Be.
G3 represents the complete Single-DD Flagship sound package of Happy Listening Labs, offering outstanding dynamics and visceral bass without following the current and rather silly trend of unhealthy amount of bass boosting, along with natural and lively treble reminiscent of electrostatic and piezo drivers.
Keep the good vibrations to your ears and nowhere else it shouldn't.
The Polyurethane O-Ring not only isolates mechanical energy from driver but absorbs it as well.
Engineered like an Open-Baffle Loudspeaker. One who makes Open-Baffle Loudspeakers knows that baffle material matters. Resin is amongst the best sounding material.
Double the magnet, double the fun.
Bass that's beyond punchy requires lots of energy. Which is why Magnetar has TWO LARGE magnets.
Solid-core 99.99% THICK pure-silver internal wiring.
Mundorf Supreme Silver Gold solder (9.5% Silver content; highest in the industry).
Some people believes that connectors, solder type, and wiring can make a difference in sound quality. Magnetar has been acoustically overbuilt to address even the minor things that's been ignored by most manufacturers. That said, one thing I can confidently say is that good soldering does matter more than having fancy connections, but it’s done anyway — because why not?
The optional stock cable is made from German SOMMER SC-CICADA 4 wires, ensures good performance right out of the box. The headphone itself has been tuned to deliver a smooth and natural (enough) tonality without the need to compensate with exotic materials like palladium, gold, or aluminum. Magnetar Be and G3 is recommended to be paired with copper or silver-based wires. Do note that Magnetar Be is highly sensitive to cables; it's in its nature.
Magnetar Be & G3 is eligible for updates or upgrades to Be2 & G4 in an undisclosed timeline with main focus on improving build quality, and hopefully sound quality, for a not significant amount of fee. Terms &Conditions applied.
