The discovery thread.! NEW Jant71's take on the new ATH-CLR100 Pg 618.. Zero Audio Carbo Basso PG... - Page 169

i dont know, compared to the she9700 the fr201 dont sound as deep and refined...

If this turns out to be a true price for the new XB90EX...

...then that would be nice.

that new sony iem looks promising 

Seems like the EX600 driver tweaked and re-housed. Might have better isolation and be for bass lovers. Might be something if they have big bass but maintain the EX600's levels of resolution/clarity and not just an EX600 with booming bass and diminshed mids and treble. We'll see.

The thing is that they used the 90EX name which might lead some to think they might be an EX90 on steroids. That would be an inferior phone with the smaller 13.5mm driver(conveniently used in the XB60EX).

and with a 16mm driver!

Another development worth mentioning pricejapan on ebay has the carbon nanotube portable cans for sale now 

HA-S500 (the heigh end version?)

HA-S400(the entry level one i think)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JVC-HA-S400-R-Dynamic-Closed-Headphone-/180911841233?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item2a1f2f9fd1

so now that there availible...whos taking one for the team Dsnuts-cought-cough

Nope :), another Pre-sale. Amazon Japan says July 10th is the release date. The ebay listing says the 15th(when they might get them possibly).

Probably cheaper through Amazon and Tenso. Might also get them sooner as well.

How the hell do you guys keep finding out about all these un-released, soon to be released headphones? Every time I google "upcoming" (w/e company) headphones I get nothing at all.

All of these recent phones are Japanese phones. So, your search will bring up English results which will miss everything. The English sites for the companies are of no use or wait till the NA release. You have to be tapped into Sony Japan, AT Japan, JVC/Kenwood Japan etc.

I needed a small clock and I had an 8% off code at ahappydeal. So, after finding a funky little clock I decided to check the new earphone arrivals. Since I had the 8% off I grabbed one of these...

An XK DUN CK-820. http://www.ahappydeal.com/product-88057.html The CK700 spawned a 17 page thread here so they were worth a try for $6.33. Very Aquafresh looking with the minty green on one side, white on the other flat cable. My clock comes from the US warehouse but not these which will come from China which may take a while. Not expecting too much sound-wise but they are pretty wild with the clear strain reliefs, green tips, two-tone cable, and Dunu-like 45 degree plug. Don't need em' but had to have em' .

I was listening to them tonight. Just crazy. I was also using them to play some Diablo 3 with. These earphones have such great detail. Gaming on them are perfect.

I only burned them for like 60 If they get even better thats just nuts.

The Turbine Has better bass. But thats it. and I paid 60$ for those. The bass on the fx 40 is enough for me though and Has Waaaaaay more detail better high and mids than the Turbine. Vocals on these sound great. R and B sound amazing. Heck I even use them for gaming now. All for 20$ shipped.

That's very interesting indeed, I was almost sure it would be the other way round.

Glad you're enjoying them!
