Those Sony headphones look cool......Does anyone know about their acoustic performance?

@Aashish Bhagyanagar: I don't. But Sony makes a few pieces of audio gear that are surprisingly good. Their C-800 microphone is around $10,000 and used on a lot of albums. Sometimes their pro audio chops trickle down to other products.

I would LOVE to have those tonewood speakers. I hate how the world is full of things I will never get to have :(

Because I've always wanted a speaker that looks like a spool of BX cable

@gkimmina: I don't think it's so big. My Tata Nano has 20" rims. Man, that thing is a chick magnet.

My primary mega yacht is in the shop right now, so this would normally be a perfect opportunity for installation. Even better, I am already using a Bang & Olufsen server to control the twelve flat screens, fourteen DVR's, and sub-zero water dish for Fido. However, until they can offer this device in caput mortuum, or at least an earthy firebrick, the color would surely clash with the aesthetics, and that is concern number one for any grounded mega yacht owner.

B&O is like someone took the most damning criticism of Apple from its most rabid bashers - form over function, overpriced metrosexual bling, etc. - and said "yeah... let's make a company that's exactly that!"

Stop complaining about the design. When you want another song or movie to play, it's your manservant who will have to deal with the remote.
