the trend to lower distortion also means that we get close to an audio driver era, that would mean that it's a matter of subjective taste, because we can introduce virtual distortion like tube's that way. not that i wanted this but if some people want bloated bass, they can simply add it in the EQ App. i'm very excited and wonder how good volume levels are. I'm a quite listener though that loves a neutral true to life signature.

so overall we can expect good availability. a good sign for this is that creative is launching hybrid designs of xmems right now on their website.
personally i wait for a full-range xMems driver since they say they are supposed to go 20hz. this would mean insane bass clarity that goes beyond planar headphones.

Let's be honest outside of a handful in-ears these will mostly be used in IEMs

As much as I love this, it will still come with a higher price tag and will be almost unavailable globally... I also have a feeling I may not like it cos I am very sensitive to details but even if I get to use it It will take a while to get through the sound curve.. planer speakers aren't that impressive to me too. Balance armatures are good but bass deficient.. A good mix of balance armatures and wide-diameter deep core drivers will always knock the fish out of the water for me..

140dB at low frequencies..
with dynamic drivers i can assure it would consume much power

I have different types of earphones and only mp3 files. All I need is powerful bass and not sharp treble. Thankfully my earphones have normal or powerful bass. And so my car. It has powerful Bose speakers.

Sounds cool, but of course they would sell it as the best thing ever since chocolate cake.
Better to curb your expectations and wait for tests.

The average consumer not caring about the sound because their ears cannot tell the difference. (Seriously speaking, Until I got good over-ears, TWS earbuds have sound the same.)

The majority of people cannot really distinguish hi-fi sound. They most likely won't be able to distinguish their from regular bluetooth earphones either.

Any information published about the efficiency of this new tech? I'm only interested in battery life gains, as audio quality is good enough for me as is.
