Vector Finesse

min(amame) is now released! Affordable, portable, and great sound quality, all from your own 3D printer!

Little progress on the smaller on-ear headphones coming up next!

A quick (Re)Stocking update from VF!

We hope you have had a great start to your New Year! We greatly appreciate your support and patience over the last few months while we worked to get parts back in stock. We aren't quite there but the shipping delays are starting to improve, and even eliminated in some cases. Here is a quick summary of where things are today:

Drivers are back!

That's right, if you were waiting to order a pair of matched drivers for your head(amame) build, both the Peerless by Tymphany 40mm and 50mm variants are ready to go. With this, we are working through the weekend to ship up to order #1484 on Monday Jan 31st, and #1535 the following week. To add, there's a way we might be able to improve this because...

Earpads are not back.

Brainwavz XL earpads are the next immediate challenge for us. While we expect this to be only a short delay, it means that orders after #1535 will be shipped in late February. We can however, offer another option:

If you are waiting for a kit, and would like to source the earpads yourself, we are happy to refund $25 from your order and get it out the door. Your earpads would get leap-frogged to another kit, and both would ship sooner. Win-win!

If you want your order shipped earlier without earpads send an email with subject line "SEND ORDER # # # WITHOUT EARPADS" to [email protected] and we will get your order on the way.
*To be clear, if you choose this, we will not be sending you earpads later

Cables get an update!

While waiting for shipments, we've been hard at work on a mic'd-up head(amame) variant and have adjusted our cables to suit. These cables are expected to arrive in two weeks and will be clearly marked "MIC CABLE". Once we sell through our old stock all future cables will be mic compatible. We'll also offer two mic kits; one with, and one without the new cable. Mic options will also be added to head(amame) kits.

Wrapping up,

We are thankful for the support we have gotten in the last 6 months and the growing community that has sprung up around head(amame). We hope to look back and say "wow, I'm glad the last shipping delay email we had to write was in Jan 2022" (ha). Jokes aside, we are grateful for your patience and commit to more regular communication and updates. Stay tuned for more good stuff coming down the pipe, such as merch, updated models, fresh projects, new drivers and more!

Happy printing!

We should start this post off with a GIANT THANK YOU to everyone who has built a set of head(amame) so far... Thanks to all of you, we used up every Peerless by Tymphany headphone driver in North America!

Our current estimate is to have stock again in the first quarter of 2022. This is obviously a long way away and a wide delivery window, so we are testing other driver options to find a replacement we are proud to put in the head(amame). If we do find a suitable replacement, anyone with outstanding orders will get the option to change free of charge. With a bit of luck we can find something that sounds great, and ships way sooner.

With all of these supply challenges, we wanted to show our appreciation for all the support (and participate in the BFCM madness) by discounting the store by 15% until Dec 1st. Everything except drivers are in stock, so if you are helping a friend with a build, or need parts for the next one, go nuts!

Patreon members 10% discount stacks with the store promotion! If that's something you're into (and maybe some Patreon exclusive print files and other goodies) go join in the fun by subscribing!

If you are wondering what we are going to be doing over the winter, sign up for our upcoming newsletter at the link below. We'll send out an update next week after the Black Friday email blasts have calmed down.

Happy Holidays everyone, we cant wait to show you what else we have in the works.
