Ok, open the link above and wait for about 5 seconds.

You will find out something stylish, sexy waiting for you...

Edit: No spam I swear.

ooooooo those do look nice ... so i did a quick google search on these e-q7's and found a japanese website for (i assume) pre orders for 26,460 yen = $267USD

Interesting. The angle of the strain reliefs would make the cables easier to wear over the ears.

Perhaps its Ortofon 'obsession' in making good cable?

It uses a newly developed 'single magnetic pole' large sized balanced armature.

Rumour says that this would be a bass-heavy BA...

Another rival in the under 300dollars league perhaps.

While we always see new technologies developed in the production of new IEMs, does this mean that latest IEMs sound better?

In the meantime, it seems that 'antique' headphones get more loves/gives us much pleasure in terms of SQ...

So it makes me wonder are headphones evolving in a slower rate compared to IEMs?

 

[Currawong]

Interesting...I'll have to see if any are available to try in the shops here.

 

[Stevesebastianb]

Interesting, never thought they would enter into this market.

 

[shigzeo]

Exciting news indeed. My proximity to Japan may mean that I try stupidly to buy a pair!

Yes you should.

We are waiting for your reviews.
We are hunger for your reviews.
We order you to review.

BTW I wonder the listed price is MSRP...It is good if the price drop after a few months...

 

[shigzeo]

Haha! I hunger for a fully-packed wallet! My latest purchases have left me a bit flat to say the least. I'll be out in the shops later when they are released at least to see if my appetite and my stupid wallet meet in the middle.

Not a huge surprise (after the fact) due to the breadth and depth of their cartridge and tone-arm offerings -- ranging from everyman pricing/function to high end stuff (at least in terms of pricing).

Hehe..BA technology is a 60-70 year old technology.
