junjI believe both headphones are made by Fostex. These have TH-900 b-stock drivers and the TH-X00 have TH-600 b-stock drivers.

SomebodyI believe you might be on to something but I think they are probably different from the TH900s drivers the EMUs are really sensitive.
TH900 Sensitivity: 100db/mW EMU Sensitivity: 106db/mW
TH600 Sensitivity: 94db/mW THX00 Sensitivity: 94 db/mW No surprise THX00 uses 600 drivers.
EDIT: AHA I figured it out! Denon D2000 Sensitivity = 106db/mW Denon D5000 Sensitivity = 106db/mW same as EMU Teaks and it does mention D2000 and D5000 in the description. I am positive about this now.

valkikYou're not buying these for the drivers. You're buying it for the overall sound and build. Take a look at the Frequency response of the Teak and D5k. They are hardly comparable. The drivers, while similar throughout the entire line (Denon D, Fostex TH, E-MU teak) using biocellulose drivers don't denote their entire worth. It's the tuning, materials (in this case tone wood, housing), research and development costs, and overall sound quality is what determines their worth.
