To some of us, 003 is a hero.

He wears a cape you know? OK it's really just an old blanket, but still it looks cool.

I doubt anyone seriously expects these to make an AKG K1000 obsolete. Do remember that they're less than half the going rate of an average K1000 though.
There is a good chance that these could be a really nice set of headphones though. Time will tell, but I don't get the feeling that 003 is smiting the K1000. I think he was just attempting to draw some interest to these new phones in a fun way.

Another good point. Do you really think a company of sony's size, and with their experience in marketing would really put out a product that is not only ugly and expensive, but does not live up to what they said it does?

Yes, and it's called the Qualia.

 

[003]

Not to disagree with anyone but just to toss out an alternate opinion. There are plenty of people on head-fi that either consider the R10 or Qualia to be one of the best, or even the best headphones ever made. I have not heard them myself, and I can not comment.

Just pointing out that while yes, the people that don't seem to be to pleased with them have gravitated towards this thread, there is also an equal if not larger number of people that would strongly disagree.

Same goes for the SA5000 and CD3000, they both have plenty of people on head-fi who consider them to be great headphones. Even the F1 has a small group of followers.

So yes, while there may be people on head-fi who don't think to highly of these headphones, keep in mind, that your opinions don't seem to be shared by everybody else.

In fact, the very same things go for all the other "high end" headphones discussed on head-fi. For example, I don't consider the HD650 to be high end. I find they sound quite bad.

Does that mean my opinion is shared by all other head-fi members? Certainly not. I do not want to start discussing the HD650, either. I am simply using it as an example.

So please, before we start bashing the PFR-V1 (both directly and indirectly) before I've even heard it, lets wait on that, shall we?

Thanks

Oh, hey. I just noticed, the last PFR-V1 on that auction was sold.

And not to just anybody. It was sold to the same bidder who won these auctions:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180133081533 ($3,000 Grado PS-1)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=170135443541 ($6,100 Sony MDR-R10)

I think I'm going to drop him a message, maybe we can share impressions, or at least, I could post his impressions here as well

 

[snejk]

I truly admire (in a positive way) your courage in buying these. Looking forward to your impressions! A shame though that they won't be shipped to you immediately.

 

[silverrain]

I bet they put K1000 drivers inside the earcups...that would explain everything....

 

[003]

Here is a place selling them for $470 shipped worldwide:
http://us.yesasia.com/en/prdGrpDept....id-1004114063/

$20 cheaper than what I paid, but it says they will ship in 21 days so there is a wait here.

 

[unkle11]

can u take a pic of yourself wearing them once they come in?

I love them but they are not hi end IMO.. But people will start calling you a snob like they did me when I stated the 701/580 are not hi end end headphones.. I guess some people want to have the 'best' & get defensive when you tell them otherwise.. Hi End equals R10/Q10/K1000/PS-1/L3000/Omegas & a few more.. But thats just me..

 

[buddha911]

I must say I will indeed be quite stoked to read some of your impressions, 003.

The K1000 drivers could swallow the PFR-V1 drivers whole. They would have to be magicians to put the K1000 drivers inside those things.

11th day into this headphones. I am starting to like it over my Sennheiser HD580... it sounds fun.. I can't help it. >_<

 

[Edwood]

So, are they the K1000 Killers you thought they would be? So you can definitively compare to the K1000's..... Oh, wait......

-Ed

 

[003]

Audio-Fi could you take some pics

Edwood, if someone would send me a K1000 for the purpose of comparison, I could definitely do that. I have a suitable amp I could drive them with.

And I sense sarcasm in your post. I never "thought" they would be K1000 killers. I don't "think" anything about them yet because I've never heard them. I have explained several times now why I put k1000 killers in the title, I don't want to explain again
