Yep. Friday they were shipped, arrived today. Congrats to EMS and NZ post, quickest i've ever received a package.
Anyhow, I put them on, and shoved in "Utada Hikaru - First Love". I think I understand how you can spend US$2000 on a headphone setup easy. And this D66 is a $100 one.. At least I have a (relatively) nice source, the MD-DR7.
One or two things though:
Compared to the D22, it's impossible to fold up. However you can make "snake-o's" by twisting 'em funny.
Compared to the D22, the build quality is better. No Squeak-O's here.
The D22 has better cords. I don't like the way the cord faces towards me, it gets in the way somewhat.
Sony gives a better pouch to a 9000 yen headphone than a 29000 yen MD player.
My feelings are this:
EDIT: Oh, and they smell funny. There's new car smell, new shoe smell, new book smell, I guess this is new Headphone smell. I prefer the book smell. But I don't think I can take points off for the SMELL of the thing, now
