The Nectar HiveXS : After 5 years of hand building 100’s of electrostatic headphones in my spare time, The HiveXS eliminates the “sticking” that could occur with my electrostatics without impacting the response down to 20Hz.  A removable acoustic filter in the pads reduce resonance peaks for a smoother ear gain. Like the legendary HiveX, it has a looped harness strain relief for robustness to stress, with a solder-less tipped 5 pin connector and cable length of 7 feet, 20 AWG. Gold plated stators and a tiny 0.5mm diaphragm spacing, 100mm sheepskin slanted Orion earpads to give you the mind melting sound you come to expect.  Still individually hand crafted in my work-space, the HiveXS currently sells for $699. The HiveXS will also ship in a hard case. If you are new to Estats and on a budget, the Topping EHA5 amplifier sells for $399  or bundle it with a discounted Kingsound M3 from me for $300. See my “Amplifiers” section for an extensive video I did on these products.

What is special about my E-stat headphones? It uses a very controlled driver tension that has a measured self resonance that is 60Hz lower than a Stax L-series headphone!  In return, you get a unique full bodied electrostatic headphone that has a bass response down to 20Hz while maintaining the fast, detailed response you get from a traditional electrostatic headphone. I guarantee these will blow your mind, and if it doesn’t you can return them for any reason within 20 days which very rarely happens. I also warranty these for 1 year officially and happy to help even after that.
