The B&W 3s and 5s get a lot of good press, don't see much about the 7s, sure they are very nice. Another high end speaker company showing they can do it in the headphone world as well, nice.

Hmmmm, those PSB's have been on my radar a while as well, what do you think of them? I like the idea of earning "whatever I want" after the dental work... Audeze LCD-X, come to papa!

i got to hear the PSB mu1 and mu2 at a local high end store.  the 2s are noise canceling and bigger and heavier, Although they had cheap amps connected  they were wonderful and way better than the other denon high end headphones on display. very balanced slightly bass emphasis.
the 1s and 2s sound the same, so if you don't need noise canceling for traveling, save 100$ and get the lighter 1s.  PM me your e mail address and i will send you a link for a possible sale still on as
well as a killer major review of many leading headphones at the 300 range which chose these as the best based on ten or more reviewers.  
The Audeze I'm sure are summit hi fi monsters, but ten times the price......PSB has a lot really interesting engineering in these phones also, and won many awards for that....
but i did love the sound signature.....of course you could do the ultimate music experience like a read about in last sundays NYT and do a rock n roll cruise with 22 bands and three stages for 4 days in the tropics, or hi fi brain implants.......

Taj is coming to play in New Jersey, haven't seen him in years...(how I discovered "real" blues, the stuff of Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, etc etc...)
This is a great clip, great band (was a great show while it was on)...just hate that it fades while the band is still going strong

One more, just love this...

+1000 thank yous from me!
Really curious on the Harmon's. Looking forward to impressions.

Those PSB's are suppose to be real nice.

Same here, I always wanted to buy it, especially at a $61 deal, but eh...couldn't do it due to mikros..
 
I've heard that the PSBs are pretty great headphones from the community. I so want to get it, but I'll go thinksound first.

Just saw email from CDJapan, seems Doppios are on "prohibited list", can't fulfill the order, have to be Doppio-less for now, I guess...I think it is a message, devine intervention (I'm sure he//she is paying close attention to my headphone mania) :)
It's all good
Gotta go work...

What would make IEMs "prohibited"?
It's their business to sell exclusive Japanese products, what's so different about the Doppios?

The PSBs are designed by the same guy who did the NAD HP50, which I think is just glorious in sound. I heard the sound is very similar in both, the PSBs should be nice.
 
I have some reviews I need to post in head-fi soon, but I think you fellas won't be seeing me post too much anymore. It's been an outstanding journey, but I think I'm done searching for that "IT" earphone. Between the FX850, H3, TE-05, Heaven V, Doppios, IM70, Cardas, M200, and my customs, I've pretty much covered the gamut of the sound signatures I love and wanted. Now it's time for more listening.
I think I'm pretty happy headphones-wise too with the On1, X1, HP50, Mikros 90, M500, WS99 and Onkyo. So I'll be around, but not that much. Happy listening fellas!
