Nyczaj 187 Carbon Limited - Red
 
One of five prototypes, combining modern composite construction, Italian leather detailing and a warm, detailed sound.
 
A new chapter in Nyczaj headphones
The 187 Carbon Limited is part of a series of five prototypes presented at Audio Video Show in Warsaw. Each pair has its own colour scheme, with just one available in red.
Built around discontinued Symphones D144W drivers, this small edition brings together experimental materials, traditional leatherwork and the experience gained through years of making headphone parts and upgrades.
All five pairs share the same tuning. Each has its own distinctive appearance.
 
A discontinued driver with a warm character
At its heart is the Symphones D144W, a 40 mm dynamic driver that is no longer in production. Its warm, detailed and versatile presentation makes the 187 Carbon an inviting companion across a wide range of music.
The drivers are paired with my Nyczaj earpads, made from open-cell memory foam and breathable acoustic fabric. Their soft contact surfaces and generous cushioning provide comfort for longer listening sessions.
 
Modern composite, traditional leatherwork
The open-back construction uses a 3D-printed polyester and carbon-fibre composite for the earcups and supporting hardware. Italian leather detailing adds colour and texture to the angular structure.
The wide leather headband is padded with dense memory foam, while adjustable rods and swivelling earcups allow the fit to be tailored to the listener. Detachable cable connections make cable replacement straightforward.
 
A bold red colourway
The red colourway gives this prototype a vivid, expressive character, complementing the angular shapes and leather detailing of the 187 Carbon design.
This is the only red pair in the five-piece 187 Carbon Limited series, sharing the same drivers and tuning as the other four prototypes.
 
An AVS prototype, refreshed
