Wasn't sure what to expect out of the box because of all the mixed reviews. By mixed you would see 9 that love and totally swear by Ultrasone but then there was always one troll hating on em and...
This is a review of a pair of free IEM's I recieved from DUNU as part of a give away contest they recently held here on Head-fi.

Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Today I received the new Audio Fidelity remaster of "Crosby, Stills & Nash" done by Steve Hoffman. Very well done, I have a renewed appriciation for this 1969 classic.
Pre-ordered CSN through Amazon (will not be available till Dec13 unfortunately). I have another copy on CD (Atlantic 1994) and am very much looking forward to comparing. The other new quality remaster I want to pick up sometime soon is Curtis Mayfield - Curtis (MOFI). The previous remaster of that album is not bad and comes with some nice bonus tracks which aren't on the MOFI version so I haven't felt a strong need to "re-purchase".
Maybe not new exactly, but new to me - Jethro Tull's Heavy Horses, The Minstrel in the Gallery and Bursting Out are godly. I assume Thick as a Brick is as well, but I haven't had a chance to sit down a give it a listen.
I really like the Costello remasters from MFSL. The only thing that irks me is that they used the US track listing for This Year's Model (and brilliantly decided to use the UK album cover along with it) I would have loved an MFSL version of Chelsea.

I read somewhere that a new Steven Wilson remaster of TAAB will be out this year. He did a great job on the Aqualung remaster.
