The design (55mm plus 30mm units) looks interesting. Does anyone notice these new headphones?

SZ2000/1000 will be around 35,000/25,000 JPY.

They look comfortable. Let's hope they are as good as the S400/S500 line in bang/buck

oh dear sweet mother of god!!! IT HAS ARRIVED!!! Full size over ears CNT cans???

 

[Kamakahah]

Thank you google translate. I'm interested. They seem a bit heavy based on the weight indicated, but the protein leather pads look comfy. We'll see come "late May".

Looks interesting, seems a bit pricey though, 350 bucks.

I am out of this JVC hype train before it even got started haha, too rich for my blood. But that was what I said about those FXZ200 and look when I am now, troLoLoLoLoLoLOL.

so the difference as far as i can tell is that the SZ2000 has pads being made from Protein Leather ( that trademark name always creeps me out ), a brass driver housing( or outer part thereof ) and a silver coated copper cable. Oh and it looks like the 2000 has a different mesh type headband padding underneath

yeppp so it seems but why does the 1Ks look more premium to me than the 2Ks, even the headband seems better, but I guess it is all about the inners.

Man are detachable cables really that outta fashion in Jpn??? You would expect any cans over $150 to have detachable cables by default but Jpn companies loves to troll us with the cables it seems.

I suspect that it is the Japanese to English translation of what is commonly known as faux leather. So no animals were harmed, which would in turn not cause sales problems with customers who might be turned off by the use of animal hide.

These are gonna be sick!

Although I doubt they will take the portability spot from the S500.
