They better do The Third Man title justice!

Who wants to start a pool on what it's sound signature is going to be like?

I call mids 'n hiss!

Call it what you like. It still smells like shit to me!

Wasn't part of MasterBlaster unable to deal with frequencies above 20khz?

You win...and lose.

I would hope for something that is not a piece of shit from Jack White, who has had his vinyls mastered by the likes of Hoffman and Kevin Grey.

I don't know anything about the master blaster or Nixon.

I wish they'd have posted some info about it... even if it was just price so we know what we're looking at here.

Either way... despite Jack White I have no optimism about these. If you look at Nixon's product line it's mostly fashion accessories, and their headphones do nothing to prove they're anything but. HEADPHONES - Nixon Watches and Accessories at nixonnow.com

I kinda wish they'd just take an HD650 add some candy apple red paint to it, charge up 100 bucks and call it the JW650.

Or just sell some RS2's.

They kind of have the Sony XB style going on, but I'm hoping that's real leather. Mid-bass will probably be their fall, but who knows, maybe they'll sound double rainbow.
