    I'm leaning towards Zebrano/Silver, but that Carbon/Silver Combo really looks good too.

    Ok,Ok. I resign :D
    You'll be satisfied with next extended goal in terms of color combinations.

    Indeed it makes more sense to have silver with the carbon! Same for the little knibs to tighten the headband. It's an obvious combo, since the carbon is grey metallic.

    Edit: and do not wait to change the options. True professionality is showing everyone that you listen to feedback!

    I will probably go bubinga and gomd though because I love the vintage art deco 20's luxury look of these!

    300% within 24 hours!
    Congratulations!

    (Also: yes, silver with carbon, gold with natural textures. That's the obvious pairing.)

    You guys are dumb. I want bright pink and bright green swirls on the entire headphone.

    Yes, I would actually rock that.

    @Garuspik - Are solid color cups an option? Solid gloss black with silver or black hardware would be very welcomed. Thank you.

    No, sorry. Occam's razor is the best principle here.

    You were warned about giving color options :) As soon as there any choice there are unhappy people unsatisfied with options available. Same people would be happier without having to choose.

    Why there is no simple "black on black" and "white on white"? :)

    Mmm, because I've spent big amount of time to study aquaprint technique and now want to use it everywhere :D

    If it's interesting for you, that's how "carbon' and "wood" are made on Verum:


    p.s. And yes, I have texture with small penises!

    Different measurement rigs, but I know @cskippy designed his rig to closely resemble @purr1n 's ...

    Anyway, interesting how the FR on Verum 1 fairly closely resembles the newest Code-X variant based on the 2017 HE-5 reissue. Would love to do a direct comparison.

    If they're competitive at all, Verum is even more of a steal than previously thought.

    Yeah i tried to get a simple color from him to no avail unfortunately. I am more of a simple guy and personally carbon is too much for me so i will got with whatever or just unpainted (although he warned me its very ugly unpainted).

    based on the plastic used, I think he is correct. You don't want this on your head :)

    Sorry, may be it was somewhere but I missed it:
    Does the grille material depends on the color? (You know like silver color is from solid 999 silver grille and gold color from 24K gold?)

    Congrats @Garuspik you have finally done it. Following your project since you first began the thread on headfi, unfortunately couldn't get on the kickstarter program. Anyway, all the best.

    "Rat look" may be the coming fashion in headphones, who knows: Quality build & high tech performance, but untreated wood and rusty grills, w leather from worn out military boots and jackets... I would love it! (even if there might be an element of snobbism involved: "Look at me how I despise glossy shine and everything superficial!")*.

    *On the 3rd hand:"look at me how I do not care about being considered an (inverted) snob"!
