Looking for some IEMs with a similar sound to the ATH-ESW9.   Any recommendations or suggestions?   Thanks.   _________________________________________________     I ended up buying the ATH-CK10, thanks everyone.

Hey looking looking for anyone close in to Brissy who's confident to tackle a repair on a pair of phones. I have a new driver ready to install but the olds may be fine. The cable is good qual but it is shorting somewhere possibly back at the jack... I dont have a solder gun and I think it's...

I got these 4 years ago as my high school graduation gift and they have served me very well through college.  They've got some miles on them and are starting to show wear from the abuse--being loaded in packed backpack nearly everyday for 4 years takes its toll. The padding on the headband...

hello   i really like the coloured, warm and sweet sound of my ATH ESW9 , i like also my HD25    my question is really simple : which earphone can give to me the same kind of sound ?   I have tried the RE262 but i am not really satisfied (need an amp ?)   do you think monster...

Just wanted to ask for some advice here in the DIY section cause I'm desperate to get my beloved phones back on my head.   They caught a snag and the cable got ripped out of the solder in the left driver. I tried re-soldering the trimmed wires but got no sound out of the driver. The...

I was just wondering what your advice is on something. So I bought Pioneer se mj591 from amazon for $ 193 dollars from a seller that was a little sketchy. The headphones were supposed to cost $299. When I got them in the mail they accidentally sent me Audio Technica ATH ESW9 which are worth...

I am on the go alot, but I like to listen to high quality music. Which one of these is better sounding from just running it off of an iPod? Which one is more comfortable? Is there a better alternative? I can get both of these for $200, so price isn't an issue.

Hi,   I'm looking for a set of headphones small enough to be put in a carrying case, but I won't be using them as portables. I want Open headphones to be used indoors, but I will need to carry them around in a bag.    I am sorely tempted to get the ESW9, but it is a closed headphone. I...

Im planning to upgrade my ESW9 cable , my goal is to achieve    * more Intruments Separation    ******* most important * More detailed Bass (not muddy )    * Mid , forward  and spectacular  ******* 2nd * Low , not bassy     * High , no change , still ESW9 signature.  *******3rd...

I'm looking for a (portable) pair of headphones with great sub-bass, while retaining excellent mid bass, treble, and good mids. I will, however, allow for a lack of bass, as I can boost it with my FiiO. I just want great bass response, GREAT sub bass, and good treble and mids. I've narrowed my...

I've been enjoying my new ESW9A, a headphone I heard years ago at a meet and always had interest in.  It sounds really good out of the box.  For portable use, I think of it as a more refined replacement for my KSC-35's (and to my surprise, it also has an engaging full sound that seems to beat...

Hey guys,   I'm looking for a headphone as I plan to use both home and at college. I don't have an amp, basically, I will use it on iphone, laptop and desktop. For what i listen to, I prefer both light and heavy(kinds of) music such as pop, soundtrack( piano and violin mostly), rock...

I'm gonna sound like a noob, and I kinda am, but eh. Little bit of a different topic, but I hope someone can help.   So, I'm off on an international trip sometime, and I'd really like to take my ESW9's with me. However, they seem more than a little flimsy, and I'm really worried about...

I am getting a FiiO E07K tomorrow and I am wondering if anyone has tried running a PA2V2 with ATH-ESW9/A's? Quite excited as the E07K will be my first amp for my headphones and I am already enjoying my headphones without an amp.

I'll be using these mainly at school, so portability is nice, although i wouldn't mind lugging around the a900x's assuming they don't become too fatiguing. I don't have the option of trying out either pair before I buy, although i can return them if I must. Sound leakage should be minimal which...

Hi Guys. I recently brought a Audio Technical Headphones ESW9 i looking to buy a portable AMP Current in my list is Fiio E6 Digizoid Zo2 And Ibasso D-Zero which one will be better? I don't wish to upgrade the brass not brass head is because the ESW9 sound is very clear and very sweet with female...

Well, I'm hoping someone here has had some experience either with the maintenance & support divisions within audio-technica or perhaps has lodged a "ticket" in the past or whatever the equivalent is?  I'm not sure what you'd call it, but I was heading out for a routine drive around the...

Hey guys I own some Esw9s and I absolutely love em. I was just curious on how these rank against the "popular" bose and beats headphones. Im asking b/c ive never actually really heard bose or beats. I took the advise on here to avoid those. What do u guys think?

At Last... I found the perfect nearly 100% perfect female vocal voice cowon z2 have made all my mp3 player to shame sony a864 z1050 both fail at female vocal even i borrowed my friend Ipork 4/5 FAILED too ^_^... Cowon z2 can bring my ESW9 headphones female vocal voice from perfect to even.more...

I want to know if these headphones are an upgrade over my m-50. Thanks.

i heard that the audio technica esw9a has a warm sound. so im hoping that it would be way more forgiving headphone than my k701. i want to own a sensitive and a forgivable pair since i kind of miss those recordings that are not so great. music that is properly recorded and mastered is always...

Hi, I listen to all types of music but I'm researching a set of headphones that excel in the midrange, while maintaining a good balanced and neutral character. I have been using some m50s, which sound great, but they don't excel in the types of music that are guitar centered (Joe Satriani, Eric...

Mainly for portable use - isolation required, and listening to Metal.   Thanks!

Hey! I was just wondering which one would be the best for me and among you head-fi'ers. Comparisons and Reviews would be greatly appreciated! PS: I have the Citiscape Uptowns and MDR 7506 and think theyre both superb cans! Comparisons will be appreciated!
