I was gonna get it but the inverse polarity has me second guessing. Sure, you can flip the cable but then you look dumb. *sigh* I may get the Tangzu x HBB Hey Dry Edition instead.

What do you mean by inverse polarity?

They're wired backwards so that they invert the signal (allegedly... this seems like the kind of thing that might vary depending on who's on the workshift at the factory that night). Ie, a sound that starts with an increase in sound pressure at the mic starts with a pressure vacuum at the eardrum, assuming phase was preserved through the recording. It's theoretically audible but as long as its inverted the same way in both ears, really not a significant issue with real-world audio content.

If both sides are wired the same you’d never know the difference.

Lots of people are able to ABX test consistently
