    I'm sure they're as good or better than any other headphones for $27.00.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    as i said i am no headphone expert but this is the first thread i have run across that trumpets a $27 pair of headphones as being good enough to get the attention of headphone people ( these are people that do mods on cans).

    Carbon nanotubes.....pioneered by SouthWest NanoTechnologies out of Norman OK......I've seen the reactor they make them in. It's legit stuff and much cheaper to make now than previously.

    So these are "legitimate" carbon nt diaphragms? That is hard to believe. I thought it was still very expensive to fashion such materials. In any case, if this is true, this would be an excellent material for something like HPs! The problem is still how to deploy it and build the rest of the phone around it?

    Very interesting!

    Cool! I have a pair of JVC's HA-RX700 and it's one of the biggest audio bargains out there (even compared to my other under $100 headphones such as the Grado SR60 and Sony MDR-V6). Retails for under $40.00.

    It's not terribly expensive. My client has perfected the process and brought it down to a very realized level. I don't know 100% how it all works but they seem to have a ton of clients who purchase the materials.
