How did you like them compared to the Ortofons? I had those for a while, but it may not be the best idea to use them as a benchmark since I suspect they didn't match up with my ear canal shape very well.

They are a very good pair of headphones except for one thing, the trebles have abit of sibilance to it which varies depending on your source. The sibilance is less with a better source, their amped source had less sibilance and sounded fuller than my Cowon X5. I also think some Foamies such as the Audio Technica Foamies would help with reducing the sibilance. It is also a very different sound signature when compared to the CK10 and CK100. The CK10 and CK100 have more forward mids when compared to the CK90Pros. I feel they are less coloured than the CK100 with greater bass impact. I think these are definitely worth a listen though some might find them fatiguing with the stock rubbers, I will give them another go when I get another source to test with. The CK90Pros intrigue me with their SQ and I might just pickup a pair since they are about 14,000Yen in Japan |
