It looks exactly like Pro750 except this one appears to be all in black. The translated words say that these will have new titanium drivers and it's slated to release in October, 2008. I wonder if it's actually the new drivers or the same drivers used in Pro750. I guess we'll find out in about two months.

At 66.000 Yen, it's quite a bit more expensive than the Pro750

It is indeed. Surely, they're not charging $200+ for just a different painting.

Circumaural? Just so...

If these are supposed to be a higher-level than the PRO 750, and not as expensive as Edition-9, I will definitely buy a pair, because I love my PRO 750 and 2500's and HFI-780's too.
Great cans.

I'm very curious as well.
So... A review is reserved?

They look more like Edition 9s to me than Pro750s. Maybe it is the all black look.

Why does Ultrasone continue to write the model number in such an ungodly large font across the headbands of their new products? I've seen this so many times now, and it just makes them look awful. It's so cheesy, I can't believe nobody within the company would stand up and say, "No!!! Not again!!! If you do that one more time, I'm going to take everyone in the building hostage at gunpoint!!! Stop the madness!!!"

I am with Wmcmanus.
Seriously, this makes headphones looking like a cheapy DJ ones, not a audiophile ones.
