I'm over here hoping HE1000 comes in a plastic grocery bag, just to keep the trend going.

Hate that so much! The focal unboxing experience is so nice imo, nice box + nice case just helps me mentally justify buying expensive stuff 😅

Focal, as a company, is on another level compared to hifiman. France and elegant representation go hand in hand.

I agree wholeheartedly. Meze unboxing is also really nice. The 109 is a wonderful sounding headphone. I don't think it's going to "wow" any muggle into instantly becoming an audiophile, but its really solid. The box and accessories are really top tier imo.

Yeah from what ive seen it really seems like it! It just makes the overall experience of getting that nice product, especially mabye if its ur first one.

Yeah accessories are a big deal aswell, the stock cable for my elegias made me frown a bit but its easy getting a replacement for a resonable amount so its fine i think.
