Japan Headphone Show 2009

November 11, 2009 |  by Mike  |  Blog

Most of this information is from Sasaki’s blog, a head-fi blogger that resides in Japan. I thought I’d pass the link and information to the readers here. I wish I was there, but no I wasn’t. Hopefully next year I can go and get the news personally.

There were a lot of interesting new products at the Japan Show, the highlight being the new Beyer T1 unveiling. But there were a lot more thing going on, like the Ultrasone Edition 8 Palladium and the Rudistor “Titanus” Electrostatic Headphone (Photo 2) (Photo 3).

And here are some other interesting finds:

- Ultimate Ears UE700, Final Audio Design IEMs, and Pink Floyd Earbuds

- Radius Earphones with Dual Diaphragms for separate low and high frequency reproduction

- A beautiful wood finish STAX SRM-353S amplifier

- Vintage fest 1

- Vintage fest 2

- A balanced portable amp?

- What are these funky looking phones?

So get your wallets ready, cause a headphone revival is happening as we speak!
