Seems like the EX600 driver tweaked and re-housed. Might have better isolation and be for bass lovers. Might be something if they have big bass but maintain the EX600's levels of resolution/clarity and not just an EX600 with booming bass and diminshed mids and treble. We'll see.
 
The thing is that they used the 90EX name which might lead some to think they might be an EX90 on steroids. That would be an inferior phone with the smaller 13.5mm driver(conveniently used in the XB60EX).

Nope :), another Pre-sale. Amazon Japan says July 10th is the release date. The ebay listing says the 15th(when they might get them possibly).
 
Probably cheaper through Amazon and Tenso. Might also get them sooner as well.

All of these recent phones are Japanese phones. So, your search will bring up English results which will miss everything. The English sites for the companies are of no use or wait till the NA release. You have to be tapped into Sony Japan, AT Japan, JVC/Kenwood Japan etc.

I needed a small clock and I had an 8% off code at ahappydeal. So, after finding a funky little clock I decided to check the new earphone arrivals. Since I had the 8% off I grabbed one of these...

An XK DUN CK-820. http://www.ahappydeal.com/product-88057.html The CK700 spawned a 17 page thread here so they were worth a try for $6.33. Very Aquafresh looking with the minty green on one side, white on the other flat cable. My clock comes from the US warehouse but not these which will come from China which may take a while. Not expecting too much sound-wise but they are pretty wild with the clear strain reliefs, green tips, two-tone cable, and Dunu-like 45 degree plug. Don't need em' but had to have em'

Don't know how long you got them on the burn in Dyjon but those need a thourough burn in. We are talking 100-150 hours minimum. You should hear what my pair sound like. I was listening to them tonight. Just crazy. I was also using them to play some Diablo 3 with. These earphones have such great detail. Gaming on them are perfect.

I only burned them for like 60 If they get even better thats just nuts.

How do you rate them compared to Monster Turbine?
Click to expand...

The Turbine Has better bass. But thats it. and I paid 60$ for those. The bass on the fx 40 is enough for me though and Has Waaaaaay more detail better high and mids than the Turbine. Vocals on these sound great. R and B sound amazing. Heck I even use them for gaming now. All for 20$ shipped.

That's very interesting indeed, I was almost sure it would be the other way round.

Glad you're enjoying them!
