^These Douzas will fit right in with the bolts and chains, definitely a Frankenstein thing going on!

Just got the Titan-1 today, and they are (get ready...), Titan-IC (ba da boom!). Do sound nice out of the box, bass a bit loose highs reticent, kids pretty good, fit much easier than expected. Connected to burn in station for the kazillion hour burn in, more updates to come....

Know it's very early, but how do they compare to the Douzas "out of the box"?

Don't have much time now, in transit, Dad/taxi, quick impressions, both nice, wider stage on Titan, lean more to highs, mids more fleshed out on Titans, overall leaning to Duoza, but pretty close, pretty quick evaluation, pretty much unburned in Titan
More later

  Just posted a full review of ATH-M70x: http://www.head-fi.org/products/audio-technica-ath-m70x-professional-monitor-headphones/reviews/12603
 

There's the ATH-R70x coming soon, with open back. Look interesting, "Audio-Technica’s first pair of professional open-back reference headphones"

I had the Yamaha EPH-100 for a few hours here today and I really like them so far.
 
Bass is well-textured and the punch is deep, treble presentation is a little thinner than I am used to, but still with plenty of sparkle. These have a much energetic sound than my Tenore overall. Vocals are less smooth than on my KC06A and slightly recessed depending on your listening volume. Instruments on the other hand are presented upfront and have a nice presence, Sound-stage is pretty big, much superior than to the KC06A. Comfort is nice too. Everything sounds very detailed and clear.
 
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I have little complains besides the slightly thin treble presentation. 
 
@Ap616 :My pair is not dark at all, it's brighter than the Tenore, pretty neutral overall, maybe a little bit warmer than the KC06A. I am convinced you had a defective pair or something since they don't even have a hint of darkness especially compared to the Tenore. Treble is a little bit thin, but not lacking in presence. Great for electronic music!
 
A superb deal for around 100$ in my eyes.

Good to see you own EPH100 now. Let's see if they change their sound after burn in and how they compare to Tenores after that.

Yes, I am listening to them the whole day now

I think what I said gave you an expectation bias towards future perception. Like I said the mids & treble on them are quality and refined, but not very present with that big bass there imho. If I eq'd down the bass a lot the mids-highs were a bit more present.  However, they are kinda thin and recessed/not as present in comparison to the rest of the FR. That's why I perceived them as dark.
Over time they conflicted my tastes and I found other signatures better/more likable for cheaper. I also don't like the fit of microdiver nozzles I now know. They bother my ear canals pretty quickly and become uncomfortable. The EPH-100 and HA-FXD80. KEF M200 would be another example that probably wouldn't fit me. I know that now...
 
Exact music and volume preferences play a big role in perception like Currawong reminds.
 
The separation, imaging, and 3D like soundstage are great on them; they are also nicely, solidly built and lightweight. Glad you like them for that stuff as well. But I still don't think mine were defective I bought mine straight through Amazon for more than yours, which is reputable. What does the logo/brand name on the back look like on yours, man?
 
This is close in line with how I heard them. That FR is not my sig preference. I like more mids and treble than at least, though I am treble sensitive. The recession around 4K and 10/11K can be noticed they lacked sparkle imo. The small peak around 8K is because of the nonlinearity. That can cause people to perceive them as having some brightness. But not to my ears; it came off differently.
And mine had black decals on them like the majority and looked like Lachlan's and Joker's pair too. So they must be legit. Ones that have etched decals or other variations are the fakes from my understanding and what you posted the other day that I read.

Picky picky picky! 

 
When are you getting the duoza's? It'll be interesting to find out what you think of them.

What..? Duoza? Oh, you mean these

 

[Inks]

nice also, if you can please try a vent mod on those, cover the hole with tape and then place a pinhole on the tape. This may make the bass tighter

Awesome response! I have no clue about graphs, at least they have plenty of sparkle to me. The EPH100 are more open and clear sounding to the imo dark sounding Tenore. My pair actually has lots of treble and bass isn't overpowering stuff at all.
 
You may have a defect even though they were legit, we know very well from the Tenore how micro-driver IEMs can sound very different from pair to pair ...or we just hear these very differently 

I listened to them with the Chillstep playlist from Spotify.
I feel they especially shine with these:

Wow fantastic! I will compare the EPH100 to the Duoza when they arrive, so we can have a clear comparison between our different perceptions.
 
BTW how do they sound?!?
