Hey guys, Pioneer SE-A1000 can be gotten for $60. It used to retail at $200. To be quite honest, at $200, it was extremely competitive. Now, at $60, it's easily the best sub-$100 full-sized headphone. Huge 50mm open-backed headphones. velour earpads. Design reminds me of Audio Technica's AD series. Extremely good sub bass extension for open-air cans.

Nice, do you own them? I've no luck hunting one down back then and settled for the L2 instead. I think this would more in line with the LTD tag than the LTD2.


I will own them in just over a week hopefully, managed to buy one used fairly cheap yesterday.

They are definitely more suited to the LTD tag since its almost impossible to find them nowadays since they have been discontinued.

haha i am sure they will be better than superluxes that's for sure. Pretty good for $60 but it seems like they have some issues...

Great find Lifted, and it's one good sounding and enjoyable phone to have around for me. I still use it quite a bit and I don't see myself letting go of it. Hope you have a good time with yours.

I like this from one of the amazon.com reviews...
 
[size=small]Pro's[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The sound is very good, clean and neutral. The pressure is so light you forget these are headphones making noise.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The headphones are comfortable to wear, I managed 8 hours with no irritation.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The lead is long enough to reach the tv without issue.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]Low drive means they are loud on your ipod.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The cable is quite thick to give good protection.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]Although they are open backed the bleed is low in both directions. (much lower than HD555's for example.)[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The Bass is neutral and tight but use of bass equalizer on ipod showed there was plenty there is you wanted it and it does not get soggy[/size][size=small][/size]
Your children will not steal them![size=small][/size]
[size=small][/size]
[size=small]Con's[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The head phones are big. You can't miss em. The frame is huge and the earpads are large.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]You can't jog in them the pressure is very light.[/size][size=small][/size]
Your children will laugh at you.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to it. More carbon nanotubes tech in my life is something I can't refuse lol

Trance music should sound pretty sweet on them.

After about 50 hours of burn-in, the CKS77X have improved tremendously. The mids and highs are more present, and the bass has tightened significantly. These do sound amazing with bass-heavy genres obviously, but it can deifintely handle everything I have thrown at it. They have such a 3-D sound to them, it's incredible, and the separation is really great so nothing ever sounds congested. These things are incredible, I highly recommend them.

Looks like DUNU is going to have their own dual BA/single dynamic hybrid design (a la T-PEOS H-200).

DUNU DN-1000

That looks sexy! I can imagine how comfortable those would be like the zero audios. If the sound and price is just as good as the H200, then it's going to be a winner!
