Dying to get one but the only set available in Singapore has a ridiculous price (by Jaben). Hoping to get it through Tenso.

I think the CKW1000ANV has a bit more resolution, but the ex1000 sounds more accurate due to the flatter frequency line.
Both have annyoing treble though. The ex1000 can get really shrill, especially at semi-loud volume it pierces my ears. Hi-Hats are impossible to endure for me..
Whereas the Audio-Technica can get quite sibilant.. I dont mind that though.
Isolation is both mediocre.

Would love to try the CKM1000(hope they have the same good driver) or the NEW CKS1000. Really liking the CKW1000ANV so far, in fact it holds it's position as my favoure IEM/headphone.

Thanks for the insights. I'm really thinking of trying these now. I feel the same way about the ex1000s treble at times. However, I do find the bass lacking at times. Hopefully the ckw1000 what the doctor ordered.

Just got my CKW1000ANV. I sure hope the bass settles with burn in. That is supposed to happen so i am not too worried :D

Is everyone still using their CKW1000's? I find that these in-ears still have that 10minute adjustment period after which you just dissolve into the sweet sounding music. Though I am using my B&W speakers the most haha =P

God.. I just fell in love with these all over again. Been playing around with UE900, PFE232, Momentums, VSonic GR07, MF EB-50 and hell, I have to admit, that the CKW1000ANV

has an unmatched, unique presentation. It will never throne my UE900, but I will definitely keeping them as my Fun headphones.
