Anyone got this yet? Planning to get one, how is the content inside the magazine, will it be filled with advertisements?
I prefer more "wall of text" style.

Jaben is selling at RM109 http://jaben.com.my/shopping2/The-Headphon...nglish-Edition/

Some pictures i got it from google.

*Update : Just got this magazine from Jaben, the magazine is original from Japan Edition thanks to Quaza.

interested but the price is just OTL....

A magazine for Jaben to promote their products for Rm109?

Pass.

lol

Haha..same feeling

Maybe if its free or the most is RM15, then I take it.

Hahahaha.

Jaben publishes it. Gives awards to its own range.

And charges 100 bux for it? Goddamn.

Uncle Wilson :S

And still there are some that ask me why audiophiles after a certain level and experience don't buy their gear from Jaben.

i also long time no buy from jaben, was a good place to start, but not quite deemed continuous

Hi, if you didn't read the magazine at all, please don't put your conclusion without reference, it misleads readers.
For clarification, this headphone book "IS NOT FROM JABEN"

The book is from a Japan company, and currently kinokuniya is selling Japanese edition for RM100+, you can go ahead and check. I just bought one myself, it has lots of equipments that are not related to Jaben

Jaben merely purchases the right to sell the English edition in this region.

Hey man. Thanks for coming over to clarify.

Since we are all in the mood to clarify and clear doubts, how many brands that Jaben doesn't carry are featured in the magazine, if at all?

Bro, why are you so care about Jaben "carried" brand, will that makes any differences? If FitEar is featured inside the magazine, means Jaben is promoting "their own" product? i thought even Moon audio or Alo audio are selling Fitear as well?

Please get the idea, we love to read the contents about "headphone", not who is selling them, if Jaben is promoting Fitear, what's wrong with that? We love Fitear and they are an amazing company, not a cheapon China OEM brand. Be frank, there are tons of products that Jaben is not carrying featured inside the magazine, buy one and read yourself, personally I won't put all scanned pictures in this thread.

No offense bro, i don't wish a thread with topic A switched to topic B without any concrete answer, if you have any questions regarding Jaben and this magazine, please open a new thread, or email them directly, but please, buy the magazine first.

Some spoiler, there is story wrote about how Sony develops their own driver.

Would also like to see it at the TT session would make think if it was worth my money haha

Audio magazine usually with HT and audiophile speaker set up, it this the only 1 headphone only magazine?
Car audio magazine easy to find as can get @ My News

not too sure on the digital format, as it might screw the market as everyone can upload and download for free.

So far from my knowledge, this is the only one headphone magazine that makes this far and bother to translate into english edition.

ive seen a few magazine with audiophile stuff in it so i'd like to see whats inside this, because audiophile magazines seem to be really expensive (RM20++) in bookstores.

majority of japanese (or even english translated) magazines/books (including full colored picture books) are at least rm80-100+

pay a visit to kinokuniya klcc and you'll understand very quickly.

also if you ask the counter nicely, they usually allow you to browse the magazines as well
(yes i've bought many of those said mags/books myself or even imported directly from japan)
