You have to see the awesome wired headphones from Dark Matter, which have up to 8 (!) drivers in stunning designs

• Launch January 21, 2025

There’s a new name in the high-end headphone market: Dark Matter Audio Labs, or DMA Labs for short. And if its first four in-ear monitors sound as good as they look, they could be pretty spectacular.

The company is a bit like an audio A-Team, a group of industry veterans from “multiple custom in-ear monitor brands” with many years of audio engineering experience and live music touring at their assets. And the promise here is “superior fit and exceptional sound signatures.”
