It looks like everyone is jumping to compete against px100/200...Wasn't there a AT which was similar to px100 as well...

sweet... I no longer have to hunt for the special edition chrome px200 as a backup portable headphone... now I can just get one of those K 26 P's... any idea if either of them is closed?

Edit: I think I might buy two of them for stocking stuffers for the wife and I

Edit2: Check out the Hi-Res pictures!
Linking because they are huge!

Seems a bit large. It's also says "Available only in Germany and Austria!"

This Xmas could be busy for head-fiers...I believe bangaman mentioned these ATH-ES5.

seems to be in similar style with the Sennheiser PX series. cool.

It's kind of amusing if you compare the A-T and AKG designs.
A-T is "style," while AKG is a "desperate attempt at style."

I dont know about that... I actually think the closed AKG is quite nice looking.

Here are some more Hi-Res pics: pic1 pic2

And here are the specs that terrymx mentioned.

I saw those cans a week or so ago when I visited the AKG web site. They are obviously knockoffs of the PX100 and PX200 but IMHO, they look a little better. I'd be quite curious as to how they would sound. If they are for Germany and Austria only then maybe Jan Meier will carry them.

Woooo. Could be a replacement for my Porta Pros. Only available in Austria and Germany? Grrrrrrr.

Hey? What about a new K1000 replacement or new "King of AKG" headphones?

Sounds like someone needs to do a "foldable" head-to-head with all these.

 

[BigD]

Only if we can find someone with these cans...ATH-ES5 and K26P...Anybody going to Germany, Austria, Japan or HK???

 

[philodox]

Better yet... any Austrian Head-Fi'ers who can organize a group buy for these... or maybe Jan from Meier Audio can stock them?

I sent Jan a PM with a link to this thread.
