Cool, SONY's press centre finally releases photos of their new Z7 headphone - looks pretty nice IMO - closed back with aluminium coated 70mm drivers
This post shows driver details off: http://www.head-fi.org/t/728006/sonys-new-flagship-2014/315#post_10851128
But reading posts by HifiGuy528 - the Z7 isn't the flagship - the king apparently is coming
These Z7 have serious potential to be something along the lines of TH900 material - or potentially better -
closed back design with 70mm drivers - imagine how immense the TH900 would be if it sported 70mm's instead of its current 50's
This could be SONY's most Epic move, though I've a feeling the mystery "king" that's upcoming but shrouded in mystery could very well be a top end open back audiophile type headphone - but I'm just guessing on that front.
Apparently the Z7 will sell for approx €599 / $787 / £478
I say HBB goes all ninja stylee
and gets to one of his local headphone emporiums with his rig as soon as the Z7 hits the market and does a bass/paper test in store on a live link to this thread as a world exclusive, as I think Japan get new stuff like this first
He'll probs have to take along a couple of his mates
to fight off security trying to stop him, but it would be all in the name of the Extreme Bass Club
