Looking forward to these, as I've still not owned a higher-end open headphone and a Shure at that. Hope these can compete with some of the big dogs (HE-500, I'm looking at you). Also it'd be nice if these were not as hard to drive as the HD6X0 series. Anyway, these do look pretty sweet.

Competing with the HE-500 might be a bit ambitious, but then again, Shure headphones have always been very competitive, sometimes even above their price bracket. Hopefully we'll have some specs by Tuesday.

Bcasey was referring to I think Fletcher-Munson curves? Those really aren't too much of an issue with headphones since they fire sound directly into the ear, right? And I'm hoping that 399 is what they go for, if I ever re-reconsider my plans and just buy a ton of mid-fi headphones.

I know but I'm a wishful thinker.

It will be interesting to soon (2 days) find out what they announce about these
 
I wonder what else they'll say. Seems kind of funny that this thread started with basically an announcement of an announcement.

Wonder if thread is eventually going to be the impressions thread, im thinking it is, as more people will come to here then finding a thread.

They're out!

There's a lesser model (SRH1440) as well.

Interesting. Seems they're not reusing a previous driver if the impedance is different, I assume?
 
I wonder when they'll be available in the US.

 

[MacedonianHero]

How much $

Will wait for pricing and reviews first - but pretty interested to see what they've come up with.
