Headphoneus Supremus
i appear to be one of the few people who has voiced this type of opinion, but those are some amazing looking headphones.
first of all, it's a different style than the r10's. these look "cool" and "modern" while the r10's look "classy."
i agree that it's unlikely these will sound better than the r10's. that's only speculation though. sony apparently did not search the globe for the finest trees in the world to build these headphones, as is claimed with the r10's. however it is possible they dug to the center of the earth to find the finest metals for the qualia...
honestly, one thing i am sure of, these go right up there with the r10's as "obscene" pieces of audio equipment. i feel like these level headphones represent the crossing of the boundary between people who LOVE audio and people who have nothing to do other than listen to music. (this is NOT an insult, but rather me voicing an opinion about my views on sanity.)
someone place an order for these and review them...now.
