If it sounds decent (i.e. anything like a 7506 or 7509), I could get used to the Series 9 Monitor in brown...

 

[Amarphael]

MDR-1R.... has got some serious sex appea. I like the design scheme, Serious but with a neat touch with the fork shape extending to the cable...:

"Sony engineers and music artists identified the critical 30-40Hz sub-bass region that is signature of today’s music styles and developed an enhanced Beat Response Control design for the new MDR-1 headphones, featuring a closed back for maximum isolation and exceptional bass response. With enlarged air vents at the back of each driver, music lovers experience a quick and rhythmic low frequency response."
 
and price and release date:
 
"will be available in November 2012 at Sony Stores, including online at http://store.sony.com, and other authorized retailers nationwide at the following pricing: MDR-1R, about $299, MDR-1RBT, $399 and MDR-1RNC, $499. "

Hmmm... after buying the sub-bass "lacking" (in comparison to their older brothers the Dx000) Denon D600s, these could be on my list (along with the V-MODA M100)...
