ciao ragazzi!

any news about the new top Sonys?
When are they gonna sell them?


J|!

 

[Uncledan]

I want to know too, someone in Japan should know the news about the new cans.

 

[soupy]

Found that as for some information. Seems like they're mini Qualia phones

, with their really wide frequency response (for SACD). I think they come out December 10th.

 

[Natsuiro]

Eww.. who's hair is that?

 

[jacopo]

I already had the picture...
but those cans seem like an Xfile

 

[Canman]

Any price information yet?

 

[KenW]

Bigger question is which of our sponsors will get them first!

Man... I already thought the new $$$$ Qualia headphones were kind of weird looking.... These are just plain UGLY

 

[TimSchirmer]

Has anyone tried these yet?

I hope they don't suck like CD3000's did.

I have the same wonderings, but I'll plead the 5th on the last part

EDIT: Hmm Tim, I just found a few pages saying they come out in Japan on Dec.10, so I guess we'll have to wait a bit more to hear impressions of them. Hopefully Audiocubes or Eifl will get them around that time for the adventuresome among us to try (Alex, Wayne ???

)
