A friend of mine is in Japan. He picked up a pair of headphones purely on style, the panasonic htx7. Looks-wise these are absolutely stunning. I love the retro look. His sonic review was basically they've got plenty of bass and sound clearer than iBuds.

Anybody here tried them?

Wow, that's impressive.

Jokes aside, they do look pretty cool/different. A quick Froogle search shows you could get a pair for $35, not too bad for the style. I wonder how they sound, too.

They look circumaural in the pics i've seen. The pics on audiocubes show the construction quite clearly.

How's the ear room in that baby? How deep are the cups? Comfort?

Very compact. I would say the size of the donut and cup are very similar to Sony Eggos. It's definately circumaural. Not so bad in isolation as well. Really excellent fit and finish as well as that cool glossy finish on the cups. My ears are average size and these fons snug around my ears. Headband pressure is ideal, but slightly loose. I can't imagine after extensive and long use though. I always had problem with the pleather donuts or cushions...Sweat around ears are not so comfy after 2+ hours use. Your ears will get hot, because it's closed design with pleather cushions obviously. Only gripe is its portability due to non-foldable headband.

Got them from Japan 4 years ago! Meanwhile they're commonly known to give you big bang for your bucks.

great bang for buck, and also mods are easy to perform on it
