Oh WOW, they look sick. It's like looking at a pimped out Koss KSC75! 
But is the jack straight, or right angle...?
Nevertheless, good find!

Not really.
Ksc75 is famous because of the great price to performance ratio- hard to spend $20 better some where else.
Knowing yuin, these will cost MUCH more than $20.
Would be fun to know which sounds better with cost no object. (not that the ksc75 sounds spectacular)
And I guess we won't be too far off from a full sized headphone.

I'm guessing the price will be about $40.

Decent clip phones are really hard to come by. I think yuin will make these worthwhile; however the bang-to-buck ratio will have to be immense if it's a phone above $50.

the build quality looks pretty good, though i wonder if the weight of the metal might cause discomfort.
KSC75/35s aren't that cheap outside of the US so if these have the Yuin house sound, are efficient enough to be driven without an amp, and are reasonably priced, they seem like a great alternative to the de facto Koss ear clips.

Its probably aluminium (A-LOO-MIN-EE-UM) or something which should be light I guess.
Damn right they aren't cheap... If I were to get KSC75's locally I'd be looking at at least $80. D:

Um...over here in the U.S. of A. we pronounce "aluminum" as: (A-LOO-MEH/MAH-NUM).
