sorry to wonder, but...
Xanadu777 has a very good point about how insanely vauge Sony is in the spec sheet description of what the products materials are made from. But this isn't anything new! Companies do it all the time to divert attention from any possible shortcomings they might have had in creating the product. And by shortcomings I mean certain materials that they might have used to cut costs that would otherwise make the product look less *high end.* They then use very vauge and ambiguous language to make it sound as if the better materials used in the products construction were in fact the only materials used therefore cleaverly *overlooking* the possibly cheaper materials used. Again, this doesn't surprise me...I've seen many companies do this in order to make their products(s) sound better than they actually are. When it comes down to it, it is simply a marketing technique. And what the hell are they talking about when they say, organic fiber/plastic housing. Is it possible for something to be both organic and plastic at the same time? My thinking is along the same lines as Xanadu...I don't think the organic fiber description is referring to the actual inside of the cup. If one thing is clear, it is that Sony is purposely being unclear. But I admit, I also couild be wrong.
Sov, don't take this stuff so seriously man. It is almost as if when Sony gets bashed, part of your own *sole* is bashed or wounded. To make you feel better, I've seen Sennheiser write ambiguous, unclear stuff like this too. Again, most companies that sell *high-end* products are guilty of the exact same thing. And don't always take what Sony reports on their spec sheets as the absolute/gospel/set-in-stone truth. If you are like most people, I would think you would want to find out the honest truth regarding Sony's ambiguous, and vague spec sheet statements. It sure as hell bugs me!
