The return of ATH-EM7?




In case you still do not share my enthusiasm. It's the headphones worn by MC in Persona 3!
It was discontinued years ago and has achieved some cult status due to P3 as well as its sleek design.




According to the following article on 11th Nov 2014, the re-released model ATH-EM7X will be released sometime in 2015.

In fact here it is on a taiwan audio store listed at $2200NT.
Music Hi-Fi - ATH-EM7X

Here are some of the official promotional material:
Audio Technica Taiwan





Lets compare specs:
Here are the specs for the old ATH-EM7

Here are the specs of the new ATH-EM7X
It seems almost identical except for a longer cable length (1.2m v.s. 0.5m) which was surely added due to previous issues that people had with the ATH-EM7.
I really hope the sales of these headphones does well enough in Taiwan to justify a global release or at least Asia, as long as I can get my grubby paws on them.
