The price is open, with an expected street price around 60,000 yen. Release is planned for November 19 in two colors: Platinum Gray Beige and Black.","whyItMatters":"Technics has used magnetic fluid drivers in its flagship earphones before, and this is the same approach scaled to a 40mm headphone driver, which the company describes as involving considerable trial and error.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe driver\u0026#39;s magnetic fluid sits in the gap between the magnet and the yoke, the space left open for the voice coil to move. The material flows like a liquid and is attracted to magnets, so it fills that gap and suppresses the lateral wobble that occurs as the voice coil drives the diaphragm back and forth. Technics frames the effect as similar to pouring oil into an engine so the cylinder and piston run smoothly.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 40mm driver uses a cone-shaped carbon fiber diaphragm with a soft edge, a structure called SST Edge that also appears in the high-end SB-R1 speaker, a baffle flat structure, and an acoustic control chamber behind the driver. The headphones include noise canceling.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Technics prices the EAH-A1000 at an open 60,000 yen rather than a fixed number. That lets retailers set the street price, so the magnetic fluid driver's real cost shows up at checkout, not in the announcement.","twitterPost":"Technics leaves the EAH-A1000 price open at about 60,000 yen. Retailers set the real shelf price, not Panasonic.","threadsPost":"Technics lists the EAH-A1000 at an open price near 60,000 yen, with a November 19 release in Platinum Gray Beige and Black. The open pricing hands the final number to retailers, so the magnetic fluid driver's actual market cost is still unsettled.","newsletterBlurb":"Panasonic announced the Technics EAH-A1000, a high-end wireless headphone, on September 30.
