RAAL-requisite premiered an all-new circumaural ribbon headphone at Munich High-End this weekend alongside their outstanding VM-1a Direct Drive Ribbon Headphone Tube Amplifier. First impressions with this prototype are incredibly positive, noting an improved bass response! RAAL-requisite still considers the SR1a Ribbon Headphone their flagship, and this model is set to sell for a bit less. It uses a 2” ribbon driver with a slightly different tuning and traditional over-ear fit. We will have more details about them as soon as it’s made available!

Damn it's good!

It is capable of providing the low ends while retaining the stunning ribbon highs! I for sure will book one!
