New headphones from E-Mu (Woodies!!!)
Koloth:
I just stumbled upon this and thought maybe you guys were interested and/or had any information about the phones.

So apparently there are two headphones, a bigger one in teak wood for home and studio use and a smaller one for portable use in walnut. Both use bio-cellulose diaphragms. The teak model looks a lot like the older Denon models (when Denon made good headphones instead of going after the Beats audience). So perhaps these are Fostex built? Anyway, since E-Mu is today pretty much the highend/pro section of Creative and Creative has already shown themselves capable of producing good sounding headphones in their Aurvana line, I'm pretty interested in these. + Wooooooddies!!!
Does anyone have any information on these models? Pricing, availability, sound impressions? This is the thread to share! (How long until a HF hypetrain breaks lose once they get the news?)
EDIT (21. september): I found a listing on the Singapore homepage of creative for these. Apparently they're supposed to go for approximately 700 USD for the Teak model and 140 USD for the Walnut model! Now these prices sound very very reasonable!
anetode:
Bringing back reasonably priced Foster OEM models? http://www.foster.co.jp/products/pdf/headphones.pdf Sounds good, especially if they're going with the newer tunings :)p6
And if they're anything like the Denons then the street price for the Teak model should get down to like 400.
embrth:
That look nice. I wonder if the two model have the same driver. Considered difference in price, I guess they do don't.
MuZo2:
One is 50mm and other is 40mm so they have different drivers. Also other specs seems to be different.
700$ and no removable cable ?

Yeah, that bit has me worried as well... But I fear it would be consistent with Fostex's designs: Neither the TF900 nor the TH600, nor the old Denon D5000 and D7000 had removable cables.
