B&W are my favorite speakers, so if they can put their sound into a iem, I'm definitely down for it. I would give them a try, no doubt.

Is that a cable that goes through that little loop (from what I can tell from the pics).  It looks interesting.

That filter is to help eliminate leakage. Seems they are partially open in the back. That and with those fairly thick Klipsch-like built in ear guides, I think these will be a love or hate kinda of phone. Maybe more for the DDM, FX/EX crowd that don't mind less iso in exchange for more spaciousness. I am sensing a trend :) as more and more earphones are doing this.

Actually that filter is for soundstage and bass response ala FX700/500. The design seems to be doing a compromise between having an open sound without sacrificing that much isolation.

Reminds of the Bose IE2's with a loop thing for comfort. They don't isolate particularly very well though but I'll reserve my judgement for these until they release here and manage to get a hands on somewhere.

Well,
 
I'm actually very intrigued by these earphones. However, I don't like the sound of the P5 Headphone.
The Shure SRH-840 remains my favourite, especially in combination with a volume unlocked iPad 2.
 
But my turbines are falling apart, so I need some replacements soon.
 
179,- euro retail sounds very nice for these headphones. Maybe I'll give them a try in august!
 
Regards,
 
Rico.

It looks interesting. I'm wondering if the cable loop actually would help to alleviate microphonics in the same way wearing over the ear does.

Somewhat skeptical, but can't wait to see the reviews pour in on them.
They certainly do look interesting but I don't think it states what kind of driver it uses in the article

9mm dynamic driver IIRC.
