I had these for barely a week i'm looking to get these again soon
Hello Forum Members
I read the last few months on a regular basis here in the In Ear threads.
Please excuse my bad english.
I use the Audio Technica CKX9IS since August and I'm still excited. On the way I use the In-Ear with a Sony smartphone and PlayerPro app. The equalizer I'm Buffering the bass down a little. Also something sharp highs. With this setting, I find the CKX9IS sensational. I already had a number of models from other manufacturers and no sound as good as the AT. For example, the Fostex TE-05, RHA MA750, RHA T10i (which sounds terribly dull, with all filters), Shure SE215, Hifiman RE-400 and other models from Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Pioneer, AKG around 100 euros or more expensive.
Now the question is whether the CKR9 represents a worthwhile update to CKX9? After all, the costs three times. Has anyone here any comparisons between the two in-ear models?
Many greetings from Germany
Jens

Can anyone please tell me how these compare to the Sennheiser IE80? After my Denon C710's flimsy cable broke I thought I'd treat myself to a better quality iem, so I got the IE80. They are definitely a quality iem, but I am disappointed with the sound after my Denons - the recessed mids, and the lack of sub bass in particular (the Denons have a nice deep low sub bass that the IE80 don't match regardless of tuning, tips, depth etc).
I've never heard the IE80 before but I can tell you recessed mids and lack of sub-bass are not a problem for the CKR9.
thanks, I'll be in Japan over New Years and will be able to trial them if they are still available - just trying to narrow down the list as it can get a bit overwhelming in a noisy electronics shop.
