I'll be heading to Japan next month, and I know that you can get most AT headphones for half price or less compared to EU prices (I got AD700, AD700x, AD900x, ANC9, IM-03 and IM-02 over past 6 or so years), and since my ATH IM-03 cable is giving up I was considering updating my inears if I don't find a replacement cable (since they're discontinued after all).

So I was wondering if the new wireless models are any good. Or any other model from a Japanese brand that might be worth looking for.

On a more general note, any suggestion for any kind headphones (full size and inear both) or related product from Japan that I might try to listen at a Yodobashi and might get at a good price are of course welcome, but I mostly need inears to replace my old ones.

I tend to prefer clear and analytical sounding headphones and ones with a big soundstage (considering the limitations of the type of headphones and all). I don't really need much bass "umphf" as long as the sound is accurate and usually prefer models without much bass if the list of models up there was not indication enough

Check out E-Earphone with various locations, including its largest location in Akihabara (tech section of Tokyo):

Nice, I never knew there were that shop there. I'll stop for sure, but from the website it looks it's more expensive compared to Yodobashi/BicCamera, there might be more choice in there tho. They list the ATH-AD900x at 18000yen, while I remember buying them for 13-14000yen the year they came out. And the ATH-AD700x at 14000 when I have paid them 10800yen.

I'd like to know how the ATH-CKR7TW compare to other inear from other price range to figure if, based on the price I'll find them at, they're worth it or not.

Well, the best thing about e-earphone is that they have a huge selection of stuff (not just headphones AND earbuds/earphones) to demo, so you will probably find yourself spending an entire day there just trying stuff out and seeing what you like.
