Renewed affection for my Sony H3's.
Having languished in my bedroom cabinet these many months, and with memories of grain and sibilance to the fore, I decided to give 'em another go. Goodness me what a sound stage! And with music that requires few instruments, they sound clear as a bell. Commuting with joy is now the standard, and...- Jackson 6

Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread
They don't expect gold from Sony, they don't trust gold from Sony, they don't trust unbeatable value from Sony. They don't trust Sony, period.- Jackson 6

Astell&Kern AK T8iE MkⅡ(Impressions and discussions thread)
By which you mean the Sony hybrid. It comes after two, and before 4...that's it! the N3. And it goes very nicely. Can't comment on the AK, only briefly heard their Dap's which were very impressive with my H3, and cured a lot of the sibilance that in ear was prone to.- Jackson 6

Best headphone you ever heard.
Focal Utopia Audeze el 8 Audeze Sine Sony mdr-1A Good enough for the mo. My excuse for the paltry list? I used to work in the music biz and have heard about 500 bands live. Got an opportunity to hear some current hotties in my local shop so this list could change sharply and soon.- Jackson 6

Most overrated headphones?
They have outperformed their price rivals with Mp3 players over the last decade, and I have a 7-8 yr model which still rocks, their N3 in ear is right on point with the i.e 800, and I'm very happy with the current crop. But I have to add the H1 in ear,nothing but treble.- Jackson 6

Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread
I think my 1A's have plenty of life in 'em yet. They were deeply impressive last night with some Miles. Plus the portable Sony amp of course.- Jackson 6

The Official Sennheiser IE800S thread!
Nice to see Senn upgrading the 800, it was taking some heat from the Sony N3AP so it was a smart move.- Jackson 6

Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread
That makes a lot of sense, you will see a significant upgrade and five years is a good period to do this.- Jackson 6

Sony MDR-1AM2 - Impressions Thread
Let's hope they have gone up a few octaves in SQ. They should do, your right, but I'm thinking of going up to planar's for my next upgrade. I should get a chance to hear 'em if my not so near Sony shop stocks them and is still open.- Jackson 6

Audeze SINE Series
Was v impressed with the Sine's. No other h/phone i've seriously tried ( didn't spoil my ears too long with the top Focal and the el-8 though sounding better had perceived fragility issues) can bring the terribly recorded Motorhead greatest hits to life. Yes their uncomfortable for big 'eads...- Jackson 6

Sony has new headphones, MDR-1R
They did. I would have been happy with the slippers in front of the fire 1R but the 1A came ahead on all counts. I spent 30 mins in direct comparison's. More mid range esp sealed the deal.- Jackson 6
