No much useful info though..
前と変わらず半開放型で、音漏れはXB700並です。ディテールが値段なりによくなっています。
Semi-open type as past model, isolation is about same level as the xb700. Details are improved on par with the price.
とりあえず、XB1000で少し聴いてみたのですが、ファーストインプレッションとして、XB700よりも「お上品」になったカンジ。
Anyway, the first impression after taken a short listening was like, stepping up from xb700.
音域、音場が広がった、というのが分かるんですが、なんか優等生みたいになっちゃって（実質的では無く、見た目、上っ面が、という意）つまらないカンジもあります。
Soundfield, soundstage are widen. However, it feels like these cans have became 'good student's (doesn't mean the fact, just talking about the appearance and impressions), a little bored.
今現在、中域が篭った、埋もれたカンジに聴こえる点と、XB700よりも音圧が感じられないような気もしますが、まだ買ったばかりなので、こなれていくうちに、これから変化していくでしょう。
For now, the mids are somehow recessed and comparing these with xb700s, sound pressure is perceived lesser. As these are still brand new, things are supposed to change as time goes on.
外で重低音を感じたいというならば、XB700で十分です。
Xb700s is sufficient if one wants to feel heavy bass at outdoor.
これで、値段が15000円程度だったら、全力で褒めちぎりますが、20000円だと、ちょっと微妙な、それなり、そこそこ、普通といった感じ。お買い得感が無いです。まぁ、無茶苦茶損した感じもしませんが。
By this point, if these cost about 15000yen, would be strongly recommended though, for 20000yen, its little hard to say. About normal for the price. Neither feel like big bang for bucks nor overpriced.
しかし、定価で買っていたら、GK乙、とか言って外に投げ捨てますねｗ <-- this sounds more like a joke with a 'neta' that's hard to translate==
そんな感じでしょうか。XB1000は。
これから値段がどんどんと下がっていくと思われます。下がったらオススメのヘッドフォンですね。今は買うべきじゃないですｗ
The price is expected to get lowered down in future, will recommend these if so. Not recommend to buy now XD

I don't know but it does look great and possibly could contribute to bigger soundstage from the bigger airchamber created between the pads and the ear and possibly slightly more bass from the better seal. Would be interesting to hear the difference it does. Notice however it's the DJ1 Pro (similar to Pro 550) and Pro model has less bass than DJ1-non Pro (same driver as your HFI-580). Unfortunately DJ1 Pro looks to be using bigger cups tho that seems to fit those pads perfectly... Maybe XB500 pads would fit DJ1 non-pro/HFI-580.
EDIT: Here's another one, didn't understand much of it when translating this one either http://seranipoji2000.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/%E6%A5%AD%E7%95%8C%E6%9C%80%E5%A4%A7%E3%81%A0%E3%82%88-mdr-xb1000/

Man I wish I knew japanese, could have gotten quite good picture of it already.
