For $300 you can get a lot of stuff... but I guess people willing to import some exotic phones from Japan already have all those other phones.

Poor Aztek, I always thought that car was a bit underrated...

 

[tuahogary]

thing is.. this is potentially better than the W3

Ha ha ha-- I'm sure *functionally* it was.....

If I am seriously considering spending another $300 (urk) then other high-end dynamic drivers like the Sony EX-800ST - come into the picture as well. After trying the EX1000 (wasn't too impressed) I feel pretty confident in saying the Sony will be more comfortable and isolating especially for over the ear use. I also remember reading that Audio Technica were making a high-end dynamic model..

Agreed seeing as what the first one was capable of.

 

[zefa]

can anyone confirm with confidence that the price will be $300-ish?
 
because my long-delayed purchase of the DT150 depends on this.
 
Dimitri from MA said he could not comment on that.

 

[yello131]

oh no,  that  is almost double the cost of current DDMs..

Dimitri (Musica Acoustics) says he will be offering head-fi members a special discounted price of $250. But since the numbers under this offer will be limited, it will be available only against pre-order.
 
I already have too many IEMs, so I am on the fence. Thought I'll just put the word out in case anybody is interested.

Pre-Order:

Discount?

Ehh don't feel like spending $300 until someone reports back on the fit

I have reason to believe that review samples will go out to the usual suspects soon, so it won't be long till we have more info.
 
Here's a capture from a TWF21 folder that Dimitri sent me:
 

 
Seems to me like fit will be less troublesome than with the TWF11. But from the pics I'm not so sure whether you can wear these over-ear. With the TWF11 you looked like Mickey Mouse, but at least you could.
 
And here's another capture comparing frequency response:
 

 
I can't decipher the text, but it looks as if the TWF21 will be a tad less bassy which isn't a bad thing IMO.

 

[edvardd]

less bassy is not a bad thing, but not a good thing either!

 

[dfkt]

I don't see any real difference in the frequency response. The dip around 1kHz seems smaller with the new one, but the treble roll-off seems bigger - but frequency response graphs never meant much with phones. Only way to find out is to listen to them.
