If you check out the newest Innerfidelity.com update you'll find two of our smelliest and most scurvy-plagued talk about among other things the Enigmacoustic Dharma.

If the expected retail price of the Pioneer is really north of 1000 Euros or Dollars that headphone better be a big improvement on the famous Pioneer Monitor 10-series. The driver and dampening technology combined really gave these headphones an exceptional sound, DJ headphones or not.

Pioneer can make amazing headphones as they have the means and technology. I read a quick review but I want to see an old-versus-new review because I do not trust marketing B.S.

The retail on the Master1 is actually more like 2500 €. Fucking insulting shit. And for all that money they couldnt even take the time and give the Pioneer SE-Master1 a proper fucking name. Hell they even skipped on the space between 'Master' and '1'. Oh and for those 2500€: XLR cables are not included. Oh no, you'll have to purchase those seperately for another cool 370€. Thats only the price for a brand new HD650 or K712 or 2xDT880s...

In that case only two words apply: fuck Pioneer.

um the name is taken from their old high end line in the 80s

Pioneer Master-1S and Master-1G

it incorporates design elements present in the old master line, which was fantastic, and thus the nomenclature makes perfect sense, if a bit atypical in today's market

on a side note I've been counting my pennies and hopefully I'll have enough for one before they're discontinued, if I do manage to get one I'll probably put it on the loaner program and have it measured by everyone

And I'd be really interested to hear how they sound and see how they measure. But even IF they were better then an HD800 or an LCD-X: I would still think their price to be obscene. And the rest of Pioneers current headphone lineup is not exactly inspiring to say the least...

Takato, I hope the new Pioneer lives up to its legacy.

The price is ridiculous though.
