It's Hifiman so I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't wood. I wish they learned a thing or two about the choice of wood from ZMF though

It better be real wood, you are spending $2000 and they can't include real wood. Also it better be real wood because if you're buying something that ugly you at least know it's real wood. No one in their right mind would use fake wood and have the option to make it look like any type of wood and choose that one.

The color choice is so bad, they could have learned a thing or two from the interior of a 2015 Chrysler 200.

Unless fake wood somehow has better sonic characteristics?

I highly doubt that's the case, but speculating a possible explanation why

That is an actual possibility. I remember a reviewer once said "Hifiman headphones aren't the best looking, they aren't the best built, they aren't the most comfortable, but they do have best in class sound quality." And your statement does actually this.
