"The audio listening performance of the QUALIA 010 headphones surpasses anything that Sony has created in this category," said Kenichi (Ken) Sugawara, Sony Electronics' QUALIA U.S. executive vice president. "We think these headphones will set new standards for both Sony and the industry for the ultimate personal audiophile experience."

Wow! A Qualia digital camera! I wonder how many megapixel count it will have. But it really looks like a Sony cybershot.

The specs and quality of the rest of the Qualia line do not bode well for the Qualia headphone.

Sony claims it will blow away the R10, so we shall see in time I suppose. Once the store is open in New York, I'll make sure to go there with my CDs and take a listen then report back here

That digital camera is such a waste of money, the Canon Digital Rebel is far superior in every aspect except size.

How much will the Qualia headphone cost? If it is not that much more than the CD3000, I think I may cancel my CD3000 order and go for the Qualia.

ha, haha, HAHAHA...the 010s are supposed to cost $2600 USD.
