Interesting, the driver looks identical to a Grado driver.
As long as it is nothing like the awful SRH1840, I'm really curious about it. Hopefully it's in one league with the HD800...
The vast majority of dynamic speaker drivers look like that.
It will be avaible in September.

I was there at the HK Audio Expo. The X1 was extremely comfortable and light. You barely notice they're there. The sound was very balanced. From my memory I think it is slightly bass light, but the rest is neutral. Not sure if there was sibilance though... I still remember my friends and I concluding that the headphone was definitely worth the price. The sound of these are quite non-fatiguing.
Edit: Yes they did manage to achieve their goal of natural sound imo. Large soundstage too! Though its completely open and leaks sound and blocks out nothing..
