Rosson Audio Design
RAD-0
The RAD-0 is the debut open-back planar magnetic headphone from Rosson Audio Design, a small California operation founded by Alexander Rosson, the former Audeze CEO, after he left in 2015 (Headphones.com). Each unit is handmade in Reseda, California with a dyed ear-cup finishing process where "no two units are ever the same," reflecting genuine small-batch, hand-assembled production rather than mass manufacturing (Headphones.com).
