Sony PFR-V1 headphones: Sound great, look 'special'

Why would anyone ever get these when for that money you can get your hands on a pair of Shure SE530s and not look like quite so much of a mupit.

These headphones are amazing, the width of the sound-stage they produce is far wider than any other open headphone I have listened to. The quality and details is definitely there and they compete well in the £200 market; even if they are not as "flexible" (ie: you can only real use these in your own home... when no one else is around).

I'm interested to see if Sony will continue to develop this design.

ps: I find them really comfy; once you get around the "probes in my ear" feel.
