what are these expected to go for? I see the 9500’s are about $75 USD.
how are they different from the 9500’s they’re likely replacing?

No idea, the info is just getting posted on the official site.
I would assume the price would be close, probably $100 or less.
Theyre still using 50mm drivers, so who knows it could just be a reshell with the same drivers as 9500s
really looking foward to these. they look awesome

these are semi-open?
but release date when?? lol also that headband doesn’t look all too comfortable
These should be full open back like the 9500s
Release date unknown but I expect it to be within the next month or so.
Tbh I think that is the exact same headband as the 9500s lol
had to zoom in. Okay yeah pretty much the same but looks like they are using a different finer fabric this time around. It looked like a plastic flap at first when I zipped past it lol

I just hope it has some clamp. i sent back the original 9500 for that reason.
Ive always believed that as technology moves forward headphones would get more and more impressive. I believe ive experienced that recently with the Helios being as detailed, big and lively sounding as they are. Also with the Beyerdinamic Tygr 300. I also hear its very detailed and fantastic sounding. I’m very interested in the new headphones coming out lately!
Why would you want a hard clamp on a open back or semi open back? Normally, I come to expect a hefty clamp on the closed back due to what they are designed for.

Good clamp just sounds better to me. even on a open headphone

Hmm, think were opposites a bit on that. Probably just me though. To much clamp hurts on my jaw line. Think I have an issue with heavier clamping headphones.

haven’t bothered with the 95x just yet. Haven’t ever used an electrostatic headphone been meaning too. Meanwhile I own the 9500 as well as the x2 hr.

I don’t really like the way the SHPs sound, but they are very comfortable.
100% agree. Loved my SHP9500 but the clamp force was so light they would always feel like they were going to slide or fall off if I even turned my head too quickly. Not saying they need to be like the 6XX or anything but yeah.
