Whoa my eyes hurt after all that reading, partway through I began searching for a text reading program but got scared about packed-in spyware and persisted with the reading, highlighting each paragraph so I wouldn't loose my place.

In any event it was a great read. Thanks for all the effort Zanth. I was hoping to hear some specifics about the relationship between the 325, 325i, MS2 and MS2i but whats life without a few unknowns. I am highly looking forward to the street styles, and will buy them no matter what they look like, however I will miss the retro look. From my standpoint I'm glad John concentrated on the improving the 325s. I think $300 is a perceived limit for many people on what they can justify to spend on a pair of headphones, so I would imagine they will receive the attention they deserve. I enjoyed reading all the details on the PS-1, I have to admit they are the best headphone I have ever heard, my thanks to tkam for introducing them to me, however the going price is more than I can justify. I'd have to say John comes off in the interview as exactly the person I have perceived him to be, despite never meeting him. Charismatic about his product, with a warm and easily approachable personality and maintaining a strong will over his product line.
