Thanks for the review! Looks interesting. I might turn up at one of these festivals when I happen to be in the neighbourhood.

Great set of pictorials and commentary. Jazz clubs sounds like a great idea. Thanks for putting in the effort.

Looks like they know how to party in Tokyo.
 
More HP-V1 details! Suspense is taking a toll here.

Awesome report! Just missed this event, next time i will not make the same mistake!

Thanks for another fantastic report, Mkubota1! So many interesting places and events to attend in Tokyo - shows, cafes, shops and much more. Definitely need to fly over the ocean and spend some time there.

Excellent article!  I have to note that the most interesting tidbit in this article were the Jazz coffeehouses.  Fills me with envy.  I would love to go to a place that puts on such a service.  Maybe we can get lucky and have a few of those hit other parts of the world if they already haven't.

Great write-up and pics, thanks. It would be really awesome to be able to checkout the festival and some of those audio shops.

Oh man, great pics and info.
Why can't I have a fraction of this in my little stupid country?

At least I know Brunei is not the only country with no love for audio!

Lol, China is home to FiiO, so I guess that counts too.

Haha.. 你好！
But really, Brunei have not at all any good headphone to sale... If not, you would have to pay twice - triple the price for a pair except for the HD600/650 where it is somewhat slightly cheaper here. Can't find any amp/DAC here anywhere.

So, you ave the HD600/650 cheaper there, huh? And...no amps/DACs. Lol, I guess I'm luckier here as there is a larger repertoire of headphones in China...sadly, they do not have any actual audio stores out here, so auditioning pairs other than V-Moda, Beats, Monster, Logitech/UE, etc. is next to impossible.

I guess I said the word "no amps/DACs" here too early. Just checked out their website today again, they brought in the FiiO E7 (the old model) at around US$180(converted) and the Sony PHA-1 at around $600++

Nice pics!
 
In the end I did not take many pics so I'll just not bother uploading them.
 
Odd that I didn't see those stuff at the Fostex table... I guess I was sitting on the KOTORI side.
Of which I'm still waiting for these to come out!

...you can see that I did like the sound a lot. For the moment just consider those as purely subjective... would still need to own a pair to have a better opinion on these.
