B-Stock units are items that did not meet our specifications but are perfectly functional in other respects. These units may include superficial nicks/scratches/gouges on the parts or minor fit/rubbing issues but sound exactly the same as our regular retail units.

The Australis represents the culmination of our efforts to design a durable, lightweight, reference-grade closed-back headphone. We've gone to great lengths and incorporated community feedback into our products and to try to capture the best qualities of the most popular headphones in the audiophile market into one coherent package. With the Australis we believe we've answered the call for a mid-priced, but highly performant closed back headphone that doesn't sacrifice technicalities or tone.

We utilize 50mm, 32 ohm drivers that work well with portable sources, but reveal improvements from desktop sources as well providing flexibility and sound quality in a variety of conditions. Our construction is simple and durable. We've made an effort to keep these models free of all animal materials, utilizing a combination protein leather, synthetic fabrics, resins, and metals to create a headphone that should easily handle normal wear and tear for years to come.
