I'm burning them in, let's see if they could get better.
I can confirm that the ck-700 and the ck-w1000 sound different. According to the package the ck-700s have a 7mm driver while the ck-w1000s have a 10mm driver.
Out of the box, the ck-w1000s had more midbass, a less hot/detailed mid/treble and much thinner soundstage, while the ck-700s straight out of the box sounded tinny/metallic.
They don't sound as good as my burned in ck-700, but they certainly don't sound bad (better than the cx300-ii, which can cost upwards of $90 here). May i ask what you didn't like about them?
