Anybody seen this type of planar speaker?

Yeah, in the headphone world these are called "orthodynamic" drivers. A term coined (I believe) by Yamaha.

Over on Head-fi there is a long thread called "orthodynamic roundup" which talks all about this type of driver. I have personally built several headphones using this exact driver.

Essentially a planar magnetic driver these can sound quite good as headphone drivers, even though these particular units were originally designed for tweeter use.

ooh i finally serviced my Byerdynamics headphones . weird enough they use these kind of drivers to. i assume better quality but still.

these are 400 euro headphones used by Sound recordists on films sets.. thats kind of why i had them although i never am on a set anymore since i dont like it verry much 🙂 to much stress

Nice🙂 If it is smaller enough maybe you can turn this into a headphone?🙂
