JVC asking the real questions.
Pretty sure I'll wait for prices to drop. JVC, like Sony, drive prices down after a bit... They look interesting but not $500+ interesting...
I heard it today. Sounded like a dt 1770 pro with a sub bass but more mid bass and a mid/highs that sound like a DX1000 which i heard also again. The wood of the dx1000 also jvc and this unit have a common character the wood is applied differently in those 2 but it has a tone that is similar . It's not basshead but it is a pleasant sound that is a lot like the 1770 pro. Price is kinda...whu?...comfort is excellent and built feels nice.
How would you characterize them against DX1000? Better/worse? In what ways? Did you dry driving/EQin them hard in the bass region? ;-D
Inquiring minds want to know, thanks!
Some sellers are already advertising Wood one (HA-SW01) on ebay for $700USD or c. 641€. I'm tempted, but the VAT / customs totally kill the deal, if the headphones turn out to be not what I want and I have to resell them.

P.S. The listing is not mine, I'm not affiliated, etc.
EDIT: The Reviews on Amazon.co.jp:

- lacks powerful deep bass, but otherwise ok in bass
- requires "burn in" (i.e. brain adjusting, not neutral tone - most likely)
Ah well, maybe DX-1000 :-D
The price is a little excessive but I just ordered a pair of the WOOD01's from Amazon. Had a couple hundred bucks of gift certificate credit that took some of the sting off of it... should be here in a week or so, will post impressions. I'm a big fan of the HA-FX850's...but taking a big gamble here as there's so little info! Hopefully they work out well for me.
