I found on some japanese webpage following price:
96,000円 (around 730 Euros or 810 usd)
96,000円 (around 730 Euros or 810 usd)
So I guess this thing is semi open and uses the same cable as the Z7, So there will be leakage a la Z7. It is reported to need boosting in the bass but that the bass is tight. Also that it is spacious sounding. I have tried very hard to find more information but am not paying the 6 dollars for a german issue of the review that I am uncertain will translate right.
Here is a pic from the japanese website of the semi open ports at the top of the cups. And of the cable connection.
Also at 470g this thing is quite heavy. That is heavier than the Dharma which has a little bit of weight to it itself. I was going to jump on these but prob should save for the HD800S.

So that reads that this headphone is very heavy, VERY sensitive and can get loud quick from an iPhone. But suggests that sub bass will be lacking because its range doesn't extend below 30 hz. Practically all dynamic drivers start rolling a little and curve downward in the bass so I wouldn't really expect good sub bass extension. Who is to say though that the all important 50Hz doesnt sound great. I hope so...
