B8 alloy.
The overall look reminds me of the ZHT hammering/lathing, just on B8 alloy instead of B12 like they used for ZHT.
These seem to be aimed at competing with the Paiste PST7/PSTX lines to me.

The i series can only be heard on apple products with a proprietary dongle that plugs into your nostrils.

I missed that. I can't blame Zildjian for wanting to move away from the ZBT name... I think the stink of just how bad the original ZBT cymbals were has plagued them, and all of the other similarly named series for a long time. In looks and sounds these new cymbals seem to be a step up from what they are replacing. They're not for me, but I'm glad to see Zildjian trying harder to make entry-level cymbals that don't sound like complete garbage.

Why, why, why??? so an upgrade from Planet Z but not as good as S series. I for "intermediate". You can buy better handmade Turkish in that price range-now I love the higher end Zildjians.

Oh thank goodness! Zildjian feels like the only company that cares for apple users.

Interesting... ZBTs were my first cymbals. I knew they sucked but I still enjoyed playing them each day.

The video clips on their website sound ok. Not as bad as I was expecting. There might be some EQ and stuff there though.

It's perfect marketing. Put an "i" in front of anything and it must be good right? Today's kids will eat it up. Honda did it with the iVTEC. There is a company that makes home and personal stuff called iGo. I have their toothbrush case. It's the best! Lolololol...
In some cases I would rather have nickel-silver than B8. Not all, but some.

The I isn't in front of anything, it's not iZildjian. It's Zildjian I Series, and the next level up is the S Series.
Interesting that they're releasing all this now instead of waiting for NAMM. Historically they've waited.

It was a joke.
