JVC’s Wooden Headphones Made Cheaper

Craving the luxury of JVC’s wooden housing headphones, but can’t afford the $1,110 price tag for the HP-DX1000? A solution is on the way. The HP-DX700 has a frequency range of 5Hz to 30kHz, with 64-ohm impedance and 101dB per mW. That’s all we know in terms of specs, but audiophiles say it’s the wood that makes it good, adding a richer, warmer tone. JVC hasn’t revealed a price or release date, so there’s no telling how much money you’ll save over the DX-1000 or how long you’ll have to wait. [Akihabara News]
