Very interesting and super inexpensive. Who designed these? Is there any technical information available on the "graphene" diaphragms?
My order is in.

Not too many specifics.... But... if you like big words...
The diaphragm is made up of "a polyethylene terephthalate substrate reinforced with a vapor deposited graphene lattice".

Is there any technical information available on the "graphene" diaphragms? My order is in. Yes I read that, and I actually do understand the process to vapor deposition graphene onto PET. But I wonder about the lattice statement (likely accomplished using a mask during deposition) and if that was just done to add rigidity without adding too much mass or if there is another functional reason for it?

Ora did a kickstarter a few years back and eventually came out with a graphene wireless headset. Curious what other reviewers, like Joshua Valour and Z Reviews will say about these.

They really do look nice. Now will they light a blaze in this most contested of headphone range. Now Emotiva needs a nice matching DAC Headphone Amplifier. Back to you Nick!

It kind of unfortunate all of my headphones are in or around this price segment. Was really planning my next headphone purchase to step up a little more.
I did buy them though. So, hopefully shortly I can let you all know what I think.

I think you may find that these ARE a step up...
I can't honestly say that I've heard a pair of dynamic or planar headphones that I think actually sound better than these. I also find them quite comfortable.
(I'm afraid I do still give electrostatics the win... by a nose... but they're a lot more trouble and tend to cost rather more.)

I am very interested in getting a pair of these headphones, even have a set in my cart, but I cannot see how to get my Military Discount?
In the recent past, I used something called Verify Pass to get the discount, but when I go to my account there it no longer gives me a Military Discount Code. Are they no longer accepted by Emotiva?
Does Emotiva still offer a Military Discount and if so, how do you go about getting it now?
Thanks much and all take care.
Steve A.

Go to your cart and it is right under the blue box that says "Proceed To Checkout" Chad Under Order Summary, I see "Add a discount code or a gift card" and when I select that, there is just a box into which a discount code is to be entered. Where do I get the Military Discount Code now? Very much appreciate your help. Edit: When I used Verify Pass for previous orders, it would generate a code that I could enter into the discount box. It no longer does that, at least not this time.

You can't get it to work, there is also another box a bit more down that says GOVX ID, you have to go back to the cart or edit card to get to where these are

Going to the Verify Pass site, I have a feeling they are no longer being accepted by Emotiva or the other way around. Emotiva is not listed under electronics so I am guessing they are no longer working together. Thanks for the suggestion, will not bother folks here anymore with this. Will send Emotiva an email if I still have problems. Take care, Steve A.

Was able to get to the point where I got a discount code from GOVX ID, but when I tried to use it got the message "This code isn't valid for the items in your cart". Maybe since these are so new, they are not accepting a discount on them? I will check with Emotiva directly to see what is going on. I am going to have to stop placing orders on Friday. Seems like when I do there is always some question I have about the order so I then have to wait until Monday to get it resolved. Once again thanks for the help. I now know where to get the Military Discount in the future. Take Care, Steve A. EDIT: Just FYI - The Military Discount is still valid. Completed my transaction this morning with the help of Cathy Laufman (once again assisted by one of the main players of the company). From my experience with the company great customer service. Just wanted all to know the outcome. Please be careful out there.
