So I’ve been working on finding the best dynamic drivers available spending thousands on R&D and combining them with a beautiful comfortable headset made from real wood - I am using my patent fractal mesh and well I think these will be very hard to beat…. Continued below…

So in the above picture, you will see three new designs that I’ve been working on with what I consider one of the best dynamic headphone drivers available no matter the cost. (They are all custom tuned- and if people wanted they could say how they want their set customized JUST for them)

anyway..

back to the story of how I came to this place…

They all measure extremely low in distortion and have a very revealing sound that digs deep into the recording on all spectrums of the frequencies . I’ve been testing them with DATSv3 I’ve been testing them with my CypherLabs Prautes Tube amp using Telefunken G73r tubes and with my solid state Ray Samuels Apache amp along with my FIIO Q5s and of course my Apple phone with the dongle (I had to test the dongle of course- and surprisingly it sounds really good with the Apple iPhone) - the headphones are very easy to drive since they’re rated 32 ohms with a minimum of 114 dB rated, but they do scale up to reveal the differences in amps and DACs… I could’ve chosen a 300 ohm or 250 ohm driver but my goal was to make a headphone that sounds fantastic with all devices that most people have around the house or may buy later on- my goal was to make them as beautiful sounding as my Vandersteen speakers- and anyone who knows they scale up beautifuly but always sound composed- and although they can play super loud - like the Vandesteens the do low volume detail EXTREMELY well- a rarity in headphones I think- where usually most typical headphones need huge amounts of volume to sound alive - with these it isn't necessary to have high volume to reveal all the details but when you want a club like experience in your head they can do it with distortion - kind of like a gentle giant or a performance car with loads of HP on tap when you need it... you wont have to buy expensive gear to make them sound good… but they will pay off when you do in the future.

SOooooo a little more background - it’s been nearly two years and all this testing and perfecting all sorts of dynamic drivers and tuning them as best I can - I had to find beautiful cups with very comfortable headbands that were reliable and would work on just about anyone's size noggen - so I’ve combined them as you can see in the pictures- with very nice real genuine hard wood designs that don’t look dorky but actually look kinda beautiful if I do say so - like the ones you see here in this picture - one is cherry one is walnut and one is dark walnut and all of them are very light under 45 ounces for the whole headband and set up …anyway the fractal mesh that I’ve been using on all of my headphone mods is also included in this new design, and I think no matter how much more research and development I do I don’t think I could perfect this any better I truly am loving the way the sound, and anyone who’s listen to them at my place feel the same way- spending hours going back-and-forth between probably 25+ headphones that I have here - and I don’t think anybody could find something better no matter the cost so I’m trying to keep these extremely low priced and high-quality and of course have sound quality that competes with some of the best in the market place - no matter if they are competing with $700-$2900 ranges - I feel completely confident that these will end anyone’s pursuit and finding the ultimate dynamic Headphone for crystal clear, highs, beautiful, smooth midrange and extremely deep bass that digs deep in to the recordings.

So far, I’ve only had three people actually take ownership of them, and every single one of them are hooked and text me daily on how much they appreciate the sound on these, and keep telling me I should raise my price, but I’m looking just for other opinions and for people to try them … I welcome anybody’s opinion or feedback I’m always looking to make things better and better…and I don’t think I’m using hyperbole here by saying all of this - I’m trying to be sincere and honest I really don’t think anybody will be disappointed - please pm me if you have questions

Oh hi John 😎👋🏾.

Thanks man I really hope that I can go to some more trade shows and people can listen to them in person but until then the prices are going to remain Llosa people can try them and there’s zero obligation. If you don’t like them, you can just return them from fro money back. That’s the best I can do right now until I get more people to try them and review them.

Damn this is intriguing. If you can, you should try to give some attention from reviewers.

I wanna get in the business of trying to make my own pair of headphones aswell. Do you have any tips on where to look for decent drivers outside the regular tymphany peerless drivers?

I definitely have an obsession - I eat drink and sleep headphones now... I even dream about new ideas (that's where I came up with the fractal mesh I use to de-fract sound after reading the scientific papers published by The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America) but... I can say I used the peerless from parts express (its very good as many other people tune the heck out of it to include Kennerton and Aurora Borealis) and tried dozens of others from all ranges of price- it cost me $9K so far to date to get where I am now and two years of dedicated trial and error- many drivers I throw away due to imbalances - the profits are very small and outlay in $$ is too much work but I'm in too deep now to go back- I found what I think is the best available and now its ready for others to try - I couldn't have picked a worse time to do this I think since economy is soo poor BUT I keep my prices cheap so I think I will have many happy people

This is really interesting, I'm a bit confused about the drivers though. Are they a proprietary design you are having manufactured specifically for you, or are they available for anyone to buy online?

Fuuuuuccccccckkkkkkk yyyyyyyoooooouuuuu on that Cypher Labs Prautes. Just looked it up based on the side profile alone, let alone the rest of the cabinet. Fuck that's an amazing looking amp. One of 50. Listen in very good health!

I have the closed backs you made. Sound amazing, but do you think your open back would be a good sidekick? Can you explain the differences? Also I want to try the fluffy pads! Can you pm me about those? I can paypal you

I only have one open back left in stock And yes it’s more open than the closed back of course even though the closed is much more open than your average closed back because of the fractal mesh - the open back has more air and depth and utilizes fractal mesh as well it’s more infinite in stage depth- email me about pads - massariaj@yahoo.com

Very very interested in your work. I hear very high praise of your mods, and your customs look very amazing. I've been wanting a dynamic driver set to pair with audezes, just can't afford it at the moment. But man I can't wait to get ahold of something you've made!

So I am in the middle of making and tuning more of these but if anyone is interested I can custom tune it just the way a customer may like - I am giving personalized service - you can contact me by email massariaj@yahoo.com or on my web site https://www.jmaudioeditions.com/
