I'm sort of the reverse discovery person, instead of brand new headphones, I find ones going out of circulation that I like. I found the Audeo iem's when they were being discontinued and discounted (worth buying, especially if less than $100 imo). Just found another set of headphones that I'd actually had lying around for a long time, got them discounted and just recently opened them. These are the Marley Exodus phones, which are great sounding, and also great looking, not embarassing to walk around with (unlike the AT A900x-"I've got wings"- and similar hp's). Nice wood, nice leather, fine sounding. Got great reviews, don't know if they are being discontinued, but I've seen them <$100, even as low as $50. Don't need an amp, but sound lush and kick ass at the same time out of my ipod/National. Highly recommended!

Better? Lol. I'll post some "actual" impressions later - too tired now. Got together with Nick N today and got introduced to and educated about orthos... lots of them! Our Nick is a mad talented modder lol, and his orthos sound amazing (he has a freakishly good sounding modded t50rp). Anyway, I digress...
What I can say right now about the X1's is that they are friggin amazing! (and that's before the prescribed burn-in).

At any rate, I just got my X1's, and they sound stupid good. Amazing bass, and it is amazing how with that much bass, it isn't a mid-bass bloated mess screwing up the mids. Maybe the mids aren't forward, but they don't sound recessed to me at all. The treble seems just about perfect - never sibilant or piercing, yet with pleasing detail and extension. They sound clear, full, balanced and have a lovely soundstage. Overall just a gorgeous sound![size]](http://files.head-fi.org/images/smilies/smile.gif[size=13px][font=verdana][/font][/size])

This isn't nothing my friend. Wait until you get a good 100 hours burn-in on them. Gets even better!

Anyone heard the new JVC Ésnsy range yet? I'm thinking I may have to bit the bullet and get one of the IEMs..

I think I'm gonna wait for more opinions on the Philips Fidelio S2 and Onkyo IE-HF300 and see how they fair. I'm not a mega bass head. I used to actively seek out Beats-like IEMs but I love the bass levels on my Carbo Bassos

Then you will need to get Nuts to get a pair of the Onkyos. I don't think anyone else has a pair of S2s in hand.

If you like the fashion stuff but I'd expect it to be slightly lesser sounding than something like the FXD's. Probably why no one around here is trying them, lol!

Not the kinda thought you were really hoping for as I don't have them but I like that they did what JVC couldn't and made a mutli-driver with the micro still in the tube. JVC pulls them back in the housing when more than one. Also think the Kelton isn't the better approach for earphones than this or the AT approach, i.e. having an open chamber(or two) with more space for lows which also helps with the stage size/depth/immersion.
