I bet H20 finally got fed up with you saying it isn't better than the E11 lol

Well, I did say it's not such a bad combo with the ELE DAC. That should count as a positive opinion.

You can't just up n leave. Your the the first take guy. You got responsibilities Ghost. Don't mind the troll. He just don't want to hear about the CKN70s being this or that compared to his new toy.. He has been kinda silent no? 3 hours of blasting his tunes I bet. Sub bass a thon perhaps?
 
I have been blasting my drum n bass for a solid 48 hours. I will report back tomorrow if I get a chance to hear them..

I have the CKS77, FX3X, XB90EX and now the WS99 for when I'm in the head-banging mood, and I do enjoy the ear rumble ever so often ie:Basshead.
 
But the CKN70 just opens up a whole different world of musicality for me, the details in every aspect of the sound is just exhilarating.
 
Guys who feel that they are hardcore Bassheads should try this one, it might just change your whole perspective of what you are looking for in SQ.
....even if they're not for you in the end, I'm pretty sure they'll go ultra fast in the resale section.

 
Well, this finally sold it for me.  Between the CKN70 and the XB90EX, I pulled the trigger on the CKN70.  Should get here next week, hopefully... I can't wait to compare these to my MH1C!

Just a little tip on the CKN70 purchase.. I am very certain these will need a big burn in. It will be completely worth the effort to do so..Ghost is good about burning all his stuff in and these CKN70s using smaller micro hd crabon nanotubes just means they are some stiff drivers inside them aluminum housing.
 
FXD70/80 required around 200 hours. The FX40 even longer. I don't see why these would need any less..Full burn in and tip changes for better dynamics are strongly recommended.
 
I know many guys don't do proper burn ins before they judge a phone and end up selling them thinking that is the end sound. Don't be that guy..You guys have nothing to loose in doing a week or two of solid burn in.

And my gr07be's are supposed to get 300 hours. Ack!

The gr07be's sound really great, but I didn't listen for too long before throwing them on the burner. Which is okay, because I really needed to get back to listening to the ad900x and e12 :)

BTW, that e12 turns the s500 into a very different and lovely beast as well!

So both you guys got some new iems. Sf finally got his FXZ200s. And Wayne got his GR07 bassy edition..
 
Both you guy have nothing to say about them. How them new earphones for you?

****** EXTREMELY ROUGH 1st IMPRESSIONS******
Welp, with the stock tips i wasn't completely floored by them. I was expecting to be utterly mind blown by it especially in the bass department, but sadly i wasn't. This made me realized 2 things, 1st thing is straight outta my ipod classic there is not enough power to drive them to their full potential (though it drives them adequately), 2nd the lackluster generic stock tips holds them back as well. Just like the stock tips for the ATH CKNs, JVC went the lazy route and seems to have just tossed the same stock tips used for FX40/ FX101s, etc in, unlike the custom built ones for their FXD line. 
 
While i was tip rolling, the change in bass quality and quantity was very noticeable, some tips makes them almost "WOOFER" level and some made them just borderline basshead level. But thank god my seller hooked me up with a free set of Mee tips as well, which is much MUCH better than the stock ones provided by JVC. I got 2 different size double flanges, that works pretty well. Still picking out the best tips, though the MH1C med tips seems to bring the bass out the most, while the mids/ etc kinda suffers a bit, more on this later.
 
So yeah, what really took me by surprise was the built of these FXZs.  I expected the housing to be pretty heavy, but it wasn't. The hosing is of a good size albeit kinda bulky, similar to that of the FX3Xs but is surprisingly light as a feather. Kinda disappointed that JVC just put a really thin cloth mesh to over the driver hole, even more thin than whats used on cheaper FX lines, which makes it feel like it can come off easily.  haha
 
The highs and mids are lovely on these, soundstage is not huge but good enough. soundstage is crazy NICE!!! And i am still in search of them WOOFERS.........................continues to tip roll. LoL
