Are the shells made of plastic? Sure they look very fancy, but the materials used may not be...
Here's a frequency response graph courtesy of Sonove:

Sony hasn't specified what is used for the housings, but apparently the EX1000's driver uses a liquid crystal polymer diaphragm. It remains to be seen how that may affect the sound.
Anyway, as interesting as the EX1000 is, I'm actually looking forward to the monitor-like MDR-EX800ST a bit more. It's also nice that the EX800ST is more affordable.
I remember reading it somewhere that the housing is magnesium alloy. That peak on the 6K is almost 10dB high and already reminding me how much I hate the sibilance on EX700

The EX800ST was released on the 18th for ¥25200. The EX1000 is set to be released on the 23rd for ¥61950, though it seems they are already available as Sonove's post implies.
Here's a rather lengthy first impression review of the EX800ST (which I have yet to read): SONY MDR-EX800ST 聞いてみた:長く付き合いたいです: FAF特殊戦第5飛行戦隊装備班
