NEW Summer 2025 Limited Edition

The XTC^2.5 in rare and standard wood series is priced accordingly due to short supply runs of certain woods -please email me for pricing. I do have other very rare woods as well that are slightly higher priced than the standard $1699 so email me for latest woods available.

Besides the 3-4 week process of cutting and Dry kiln process, the cnc amphitheater cuts and polishing and finishing - the final stage requires 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 and 5000 grit sandpaper by hand then bees wax hand applied and cured and polished -

XTC ².5 Euphoric Xtreme Trip (twice the interior space as regular XTC and unlike the XTC^1.5 or XTC^2- this is next level)

The standard wood XTC^2.5 Euphoric Xtreme Trip version is priced at $1599 with standard wiring - many to choose from. This is my best closed back at this time- I know of nothing better. Regardless of price this checks all the boxes. We now have very limited stock.

All new orders for ^2.5 will be in a queue. Orders will be taken normally and filled as soon as I can. People in the queue will have first order preferences and have more choices wood species . They do take me a week or so to hand match the drivers as they are from my best selected best custom drivers and tuned as if it were the only headphone I ever made or will make- I never rush any of the tunings. Have faith they will be beyond expectation.

- contact us for available wood types. You also get a choice of our best hand selected custom made drivers : 32 ohm (our preferred driver in the ^2.5) - it's a custom 52nm magnet Beryllium driver wound with ofc copper specified for JM Audio - we also customize your headphones by discussing your preferences for tuning just for you.

The XTC^2.5 Euphoric XtremeTrip is JM AUDIO's flag ship closed back. The XTC^2.5 utilizes precision cut solid blocks of various exotic hard woods which are carefully CNC machined - whereby they are cut and bored with special amphitheater internal cuts, and include five tuning slots and ports which allow a user to further tune the closed back by increasing or decreasing bass or detail similar to the way fluted air instruments change pitch by covering or opening holes in the instrument. The XTC^2.5 uses our own proprietary JM Fractal Porous Graphene Carbon™, JM Fractal Fiberglass Mesh™, and JM Nautilus Fractal Spiral™ technology for a wide spread out soundstage.

The driver we use is a custom magnet forged/cast not stamped basket utilizing N52 magnets and a occ copper coil- beryllium dynamic driver- carefully machine matched and then hand matched again for accuracy and consistency where the ohms overlap over each other as if a single line (or it is rejected as a non match and becomes an orphan- sometimes we go through more than a few pairs to match with this scurrility). Why do we match drivers so carefully? Absolute matched drivers are essential for perfect imaging and necessary to recreative a massive soundstage. Hand Matched drivers are also essential for a cohesive realistic organic sound. You can expect deep tight bass with no bloat yet at the same time the XTC is even and smooth through the mid range and treble. The XTC has precise timbre and has a knack of digging out sublime details with air as light as a feather; while remaining composed and never harsh or sibilant. Each song you play you will dive deeper into the recording.

Price Includes 3 different sets of ear pads to further enhance custom feel, comfort and tuning. Also included: a choice of wire type in a hand braided ofc litz 2m available in 3.5, 6.35, 4.4 or XLR on the amp end. As an option to match the best of the best- the internal and external matched wiring - - we hand solder your XTC with internal 7N occ and WBT silver solder. This option also includes our own Copperhead Wire (the same wire we use to solder the drivers) in a braided wire in your choice of trs 3.5mm or trrs 4.4mm on the amp end. The 7N OCC option gives you the ultimate matched wiring inside and out. We also include a practical reusable Waterproof Flight Case to protect these during transport and storage.
