Finally I received 3 further headphone samples in black which should be the final color with maybe some darker grey for the back plate.

Meanwhile I have readjusted my settings a bit but so far I am not satisfied with the consistency. Only 2 out of the 3 new units are usable the 3rd one sounds different and seems to have some issue with the right driver. I need to check further samples to really get sure the product will meet my quality demands, it doesn’t make sense to invest time into something which in the end will turn out different. I am in contact with the manufacturer about the dud they sent.

Based on the suggestion to compare it to some other headphones I sat down today for 2 hours and recorded a couple of headphones one after the other to give you an idea about how the NH1 will perform. I will post one by one…

any vague price estimation? will there be other colors except black and beige/white?

I will price it similar to the competition. It may have some lower pre order price in the beginning. Color will be only black, there could be other options but this would require some insane MOQ amounts which is just unrealistic. I still hope I can at least manage 250 units and I can only finance the production if I get enough orders… it’s not that easy.

I really, really wished for noise-canceling. Otherwise, I don’t have much of a use case for it. At home, I prefer an open-back headphone, but on the go, noise-canceling is a game-changer. Even if it's not as effective (like the Q30), it's still far better than nothing. Depending on the price, I think I’ll still get one, especially since almost all of my Bluetooth gear was recommended by you @Oluv (Earfun Uboom X/L, Denon Envaya 250, Beoplay A1, Teufel Boomster NG, Life Q30, Tribit Stormbox Blast, ...)

alright, black is completely fine. not a big fan of the beige / white combo :D

Looks good but i definitely think something more sober would match more the philosophy behind it
