Whoa... if these are similar or better sound quality to the SRH940, with maybe a slightly warmer sound signature (hopefully as flat as possible), and reasonably priced (as all Shures seem to be so far) - this could be some really big competition versus some of the mid-fi 'giants' (HD650, DT880, etc.)
I'd guess they'll sell it for $400 or maybe more. They probably could sell it for $200 but then head-fi would have a confirmation bias that it's worse than other more expensive headphones, similarly to how people have a confirmation bias that the SRH940 is inferior to K701/DT880/etc.
P.S. Does anyone know Japanese? It would be nice to get that poster thing translated for any pieces of information we can get
