Thank you very much for using our products.
finalRegarding the planar magnetic field type flagship headphones "X8000" which we had been developing, due to the closure of the business of the company we had contracted to manufacture the parts for the diaphragm, it became difficult to procure parts, so we were suddenly forced to reconsider development and manufacturing on a zero basis.
In the X8000, it is adopted in the D series.finalWe were proceeding with development with plans to apply our unique diaphragm damping technology ``AFDS: Air Film Damping System.''
Since we are no longer able to manufacture the film that is the basis of this technology, we are looking for a new business operator, but it is unclear how much time it will take to build the equipment and pass on the production technology, so we are currently using the X8000, which is equipped with a planar magnetic field driver.We made the difficult decision to discontinue incorporating it into our development schedule.
The development concept for the X8000 actually dates back to before the D8000. This is a truly disappointing project, as our company has spent many years researching and developing it with great passion. For this reason, we will continue to consider developing drivers using other methods in order to achieve some kind of fruition.
We would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the release of the X8000.
As for the D8000 DC/D8000 DC Pro Edition, which uses a similar planar magnetic field driver, we have sufficient parts in stock, so there will be no impact on the production system.
