New high end dynamic can from Kenwood?

[milezone]

AudioCubes.com - Kenwood KH-K1000 Dynamic Headphone - KH-K1000 -

These are not Denons as stated in Audio Cubes' description of them. Crappy materials but none the less intriguing.

Hmmm veeryy interesting looking...lol just because of the price. If they are that expensive, must be something special about them..

I found a very short listening impression here.

A Babelfish translation of Kenwood's official press release for those who are cryptographically talented.

the price in japan is much more along price of denon d2000. kenwood have made great canals : c711 so im sure these will sound quite good. they have good sound ratings on kakaku.com

Looks somewhat like A900 with aluminum cups and all. Interesting headphones. Does AC Gear in NYC have them on display?

That's nothing. My YH-100 rated at 10,000mW.

I think we have a winner. Just take a look at that headband construction. Also, unless 53mm "bobbin winding OFC voice coil" drivers rated at around 40 Ohms have become way more common, I think it's safe to speculate that this is OEM by Audio Technica.

The cable is a dead giveaway as well. The plug is done exactly the same as Audiotechnica, esp. the adapter.
