  I was about to buy the 1A and stopped as I saw these, but as a treble sensitive guy (had to return the X2) I think these cans are not for me.. still the design is awesome

The trebles fine after a few hours burn in, the 1a is definitely a darker sounding can though.

Just became available today on Amazon.co.uk. and it looks like the first shipments of all five colors are already almost all sold out!

Also, Amazon UK offers international shipping!

These deserve to be a hit, IMO Sony have hit a home run with these cans.

Tried these on my home setup, scale ok, kids pop a little.
Had a few friends try them out for a day or so, universal praise generally with the only bugbear being the cable having a locking mechanism as it makes using 3rd party cables tricky.

Hey asteroid,
 
What do you mean by "kids pop a little"?
 
Also, because they use a 4-pole TRRS 3.5mm connector for the headphone input, your only option (to my knowledge) is to use one of Sony's own upgrade cables like the one below, but I'm not sure if it will fit properly.

Kids = mids

The cable from the mdr-10rc fits ok

Does the MDR-10RC cable work (because that cable has a standard 3-pole TRS 3.5mm connector)?

Hey,do anyone knows how the H.Ear compares to the V6?

Yes the 10rc cable with no remote works fine, never tried the remote one.

Nice!!  That means you should be able to use any standard 3.5mm cable as a replacement/upgrade, as long as it properly fits inside the earcup's input recess.

I'm actually interested on these but knowing Sony, prices might plummet in a few months to $120 or so... Will wait.

Nice to the point review up on amazon, not mine (will be soon)

I just ordered a pair of these (blue) from the Sony Korea online store along with a NW-A25 walkman (also in blue). I'll post my thoughts when they arrive. I don't currently have a portable listening setup so I'm pretty excited to see how they stack up against my Audinst HUD-MX1 USB DAC and Sennheiser 598 that I use at home.
