well, how can we trust your review wont be bias after posting such tread? Obviously it doesn’t take a genius to figure out your super hyped about this headphone. why dont you just compare it with something your listening to atm and see if its worth even comparing it to a can such as the K1000?

This thread has already misled so many ppl who don’t bother to read all the posts with the hope of owning a new cream of the crop headphone for just $500. with comments like "i hope this can has bigger soundstage then k1000" lol seriously...if by a miracle this phone turns out to be the holy grail then every one who spent thousands on headphones should throw their cans away and just use this thing with an ipod.

So you're saying that some people who are too lazy to read through the thread might leap to the purchase of a product valued at $500.00, and 003 is to blame for that.

Get real!

003 has explained numerous times why he titled the thread in such a way. It was to keep this thread alive, as most of the other threads about this headphone garnered no interest. Well guess what? This thread is alive and kicking, so the way I see it his idea worked great.

Most of you state that your problem with this thread is that you think he compares this new headphone he hasn't yet heard very favorably over a very well respected long time Head-Fi favorite. He doesn't. I wonder how many of you would be as miffed however if he titled this thread "Another crappy Sony marketing ploy". I doubt too many, even though that would really be a case of falsely judging a headphone he hadn't heard.

yah..yah i know his attempting to bring attention to him self with this heading. but its misleading the ignorant out there who might have their hopes up.

i dont really see the point of him borrowing a K1000 to compare it with, other then another stunt to bring more attention to him self. obviously he could just compare this new headphone with his current sets which would be good enough bench mark.

When I bought mine from Headroom in the 90s, the list price of the AKGs was about $1000 - - Headroom sold them, however, for about the same price as this new Sony. Price isn't an absolute indicator of quality.

No, I think I understood it correctly.

Ignorance is not a genetic defect. Ignorance can be easily overcome by reading the flippin' thread before you plunk down your $500.00!

Maybe because the two headphones share a similar design philosophy? Maybe because this is a headphone forum, and we like to compare headphones? What!

I am definitely interested in 003's impressions when he receives them. Just because he is hyped to receive his new toy (and who wouldn't be, just out of curiosity alone) doesn't mean he won't be fair. New technologies should be well anticipated with well tuned ears as a judge and this thread is our way of observing this in action.

My review will not be biased. If it sounds good, I will say so. If it sounds bad, I will say so. If it sounds somewhere in between, I will say so. You must be pretty dense to not understand why I would want to compare it to the K1000, regardless of it's quality.

This thread has mislead nobody.

I personally would really like them to be great since they are fairly affordable.

Let us hope they are.

Sweet new info on the PFR-V1s...

The best review I've seen yet (though it's in Japanese, can anyone translate a general overview of it?):

Also, more cool info in Japanese:
