A reshell of a ciem called the Tritus. Sadly it never made it into production.

Hmm this or P51 mustang or E12A

Some side by side listening...

hiJeff..nice gears!
what do you think about RS1e? Mind if u share your thoughts with me? Do you find it "different"as well like i do to the previous rs1i?

Thanks.

I'm starting to think the RS1e is a very special headphone at the price.  To be fair, 99% of my previous experience is with the "buttoned" RS1, but tonally I'm hard pressed to think one cannot enjoy these with rock or your more progressive jazz tracks.  My only other current Grado is my HF-2, and it has a more "distant" sound, and its less comfortable due to being heavier and having a narrower headband.  And portable lovers should love how it comes packed with 2m cable, and an extension cable for more traditional home listening.
 
My only gripe it that there seems to be a mid-bass drop off, and somewhere in that range seems to be less lively.  As a former tuba player, I always like when that instrument gets its 15 seconds in the sun.  And in Fleetwood Mac "Tusk", and Paul Simon's "The Boy in the Bubble", that instrument suffers a bit.  My HF-2 doesn't have that same issue...
 
I already miss them, as they are a TTVJ loaner.  But sadly my HF-2s might have to go to fund a pair of these....

The price hasn't been finalised yet. The OPPO representative here on Head-Fi said it's going to be priced above $100, but below $500. XD

Thats a really nice price range though if they really went below 500 ,I hope the Pm3 follows the samekind of pricing?

My first Sony love, in what has to be a decade....
 
iPod Touch 4th gen -> HiFi-M8 -> MDR-Z7

A Memorex refurb, just five dollars. It's very strange how clear it sounds playing U2's Rattle and Hum on the Sony XBA-2. They are the only cans I have now (I am just divorced and my wife got half of the planet and half of my soul), but they get along really nice.
