I think I am staying with my two Edition 9s for a while. I don't use my portables to walk around with but do take them to work and back and use them as transportables so the E9s are very much in play in this manner for me. So at work, I am using my second pair of E9s. I got the second pair from NL&S when they offered it to me as an option when they could not sell me the pre-ordered U8. I think for that price the E9s are a bargain.
Some people just don't like Ultrasone no matter what because of their marketing; so I expect the E8 to be somewhat panned/dissed as the E9s were around here.
Again I hope the E8 will be everything hoped for, for those of you waiting.
