Hey backers,
We’ve been busy over the last few weeks getting our electronics tested for the next iteration. We’ll be posting a more detailed update about that in a couple weeks.
In this update, I want to address some of the points that have been raised in the comments recently – to put some concerns to rest, and to provide some transparency into our decision-making.
Click here to check out our update.
We have countless more challenges ahead, starting with shipping our preorders. We’re working day and night to make sure the final product is incredible.
We’re grateful for your support, without which Mindset would never have been possible. We can’t wait to get you your headphones, so you can begin your journey of discovering mind.
For now, lots of love,
- The Mindset Team

Hey Backers!
This month we’ve been pushing hard to test out EV2, so we can plan the next steps for our DV run. We have a lot of technical content below about the good and the bad with our latest prototype, as well as a deep dive into the current audio specs.
You can check out our update on our blog. Enjoy!
For a quick video TL;DR, check out our video update part one and part two.
The EV2 units are here and assembled! Having tested them thoroughly, there are three minor issues (which we’ve now solved) and one major issue (which we’re currently solving). We’re aiming to have the tooling cut in October, and the DV batch by the end of the year.
There are plenty of great pictures below, so check it out!

Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comments on the blog – we really appreciate hearing your thoughts on different parts of the app, how you intend to use it, what other tools you’re already using, all of it. The whole team reads those comments, so keep them coming!
As always, send any personal questions to [email protected], and we’ll do our best to give you a prompt reply.
Lots of love,

Hey Backers!
July was a very busy month for us, with EV2 in mid-build and the software UX testing ongoing. We’ve got some really great pictures of the prototype parts this update - you can check it out on our blog.
The EV2 parts have mostly been tested, and the whole assembly will be ready before the product team gets back to Montreal. If all signs are go, we’ll be cutting the tooling next, leading up to our first mass production batch (DV) in October.
In parallel, we’ll be working on audio tuning with Onkyo (using EV units), and getting international certification. We’re also building some really cool music features that we aren’t public about yet, which you can read a bit about below.
Check out the full update on our blog - feel free to leave a comment with any questions, and we’ll share as much info as we can.

Hey Backers,
June has come and gone, and with it comes another update. This one will focus on our electrode stack. You can find the update on our blog.
We’re finished our mechanical optimizations – The last step is choosing the acoustic fabric we’ll be using for the ear cups. The parts have been sent in for EV2, which we’ll receive in 2-3 weeks – at that point, we’ll share a better estimate of our shipping timeline.
The top electrodes have undergone a redesign, which allows the inner piece to be removed while the outer shell stays in the headphone. This will allow for future electrodes to be retro-compatible with the device. The ear cup electrode design has been frozen as well.
As always, feel free to share your questions in the comments on our blog and we’ll be sure to share any additional details!
Lots of love,
- The Mindset Team

Hey Backers!
May has come and gone, and with it comes another update. We've got some great pictures of EV2, so be sure to check it out on our blog!
The EV2 design is finished – we’ve sent in half the parts to be manufactured and will be sending in the rest this week. By next update we will have made, assembled, received, and started testing EV2.
Unfortunately, some electronics mishaps related to our data acquisition prototype cost the software team 2 weeks to fix. We’re now back on track with the new prototype, and running our user-experience NASDAQ.
Naturally, timelines are very difficult to estimate – that said, we’re currently still on track to deliver in September. We’ll be able to give a better estimate next month once we receive EV2.
Comment on our blog if you have any questions, and as always we’ll be sure to answer them.
Lots of love,
- The Mindset Team
