Tyll, am I right in assuming the new Cali does not use Foster/Fostex drivers anymore?

I think the K181 is discontinued but there's probably a million of them still on the shelves.

The Q40 is discontinued and replaced with some newer chunky thing.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I don't know if this is an indication of anything, but Amazon lists K81 as discontinued but not K181 (though it's still selling both).

Sorry, dunno.  All I know is the old one sounded better than the new one to me.
