Shipping update
Dream Air
You can check out this video to see how your Dream Air is manufactured and packaged:
Batches are leaving the factory constantly, after which they undergo a quality check, and then being shipped out. We dive in more detail about this here:
Both the Dream Air Lighthouse and SLAM versions are in production. For the SLAM version, we expect shipments to begin in late April. As for the Dream Air SE (both Lighthouse and SLAM versions), production and shipping are also scheduled to start this month.
Before getting the headset in-hand, check this video by Martin comparing the Lighthouse and SLAM version.
Crystal Super Lighthouse Faceplate
This accessory will finally start shipping on a large scale to customers, this month. One minor issue with the connector has been addressed, and the material for the front cover has also been updated.
