It seems these have passed under the radar, but I'm curious if anyone knows if this is a rebrand or an original product.

Features:

1. 40mm drivers provide exceptional frequency response
2. closed-back circum-aural design delivers excellent isolation
3. lightweight construction with comfortable earpads
4. detachable, replaceable 3-meter cable with 1/8” connectors
5. copper-clad aluminum voice coil wire for optimum efficiency
6. includes 1/4”-to-1/8” adapter
7. collapsible design for easy travel

Specifications:

1. frequency response:10Hz to 20kHz
2. sensitivity:116dB SPL (1mW IEC318)
3. rated impedance:64 Ω
4. weight without cable:0.25 kg
5. magnet material:neodymium
6. driver:40mm Mylar

USD 179.95 MSRP

There is a seller on eBay (musicstudiodirect) who has the Best Offer option and is willing to sell these for $115 + shipping. They don't look bad, but it's their first entry into the headphone market, so who knows.

Very interesting! If they have a similar sound sig to their monitors I would snatch them up in a heartbeat! A friend and me both have BX8 Studiophiles and they are absolutely terrific for the type of electronic music we listen to. Hmm... may pick up a pair just to try them out blind.

Also liking the detachable cable. Seems to becoming a bit more common with monitor headphones.

Another thing - they don't look like any other headphone I've seen so I don't think they are rebranded. Not like their earphones.

Feel free to be the guinea pig.

M-Audio's IEM's are either made by UE or use UE parts and technologies.

For the M-Audio IEM's, they did announce that they were working with UE for them right?

I didn't hear anything about this headphone either.

 

[warrior05]

Pulled the trigger. The eBay'er took my offer of $115. I'll let you all know.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I just wasn't so sure that this pair of headphones was original or not.

If you look at the date of the original posting, I posted this back at the beginning of December 2007.

Someone just revived this thread with some of his/her impressions.
