Initial excitement, here we come. Will go away after a week or two.


Was this really necessary?

Probably not, but I would like to see if the initial excitement does indeed go away.
 

 
Let's wait and see.

Yes. As much as I would like to believe every user saying how great a pair of headpones is after a week of owning them, I prefer to wait for a few months and see what they say when they get used to them.

That's fair, sometimes I suffer new toy effect, but like dallan said these sound better after you get used to them.
 
The first time I heard them I thought they sounded cloudy, and a bit unusual, while high quality.  I knew it would take me a while to get used to their sound.

So, with the ES10, I can listen to violins at HIGH VOLUME WITHOUT SIBILANCE.
 
It's not dark, either.
 
Yet another vital point scored for the ES10.
 

 
p.s. I listened to the AD700, M50, PRO500, PRO700 and PRO700MK2ANV today.
 
Plus the Aviator, V-Moda models, AIAIAI models, and several others.

I am looking to get a pair. Can somebody tell me the diameter of the earcups?

Yes, dammit.... that means I'm going to have to spend ~$400 to buy these things to give a listen.......

 
If your favorite is the Sony EX1000 I'm not sure if the ES10 is right for you, but you're welcome to try it.  Just remember keep listening for up to a week to acclimatize.

How do you feel about the tonality of the ES10s? Would you say they sound natural to your ears in terms of realism and decay?
