That's quite an endorsement for MDR-1R, did you have a chance to play with new Senns Momentum by any chance?
I've tried so many of the popular headphones from $150-1000 and nothing really impressed me except for the new Sony MDR1. So many disappointing headphones out there for the price they ask. The K167 still dominates at it's price point an I'd choose it over a more expensive headphone easily, aside from the K267, which we don't know about it.
I've currently been looking for a donor body to harvest and that hasn't been an easy task as cheaper headphones have crappy earpads and isolation.
So if I was to compare the MDR1 to the K167, the MDR1 has noticably tighter bass punch. Not saying that's good or bad, but I didn't like it at first until I went through a few songs with it. However it's friggin expensive here in Japan. Was like +$400.
