My pair should be arriving tomorrow :) pretty excited for that. It really should have arrived earlier but so far amazon is 0 for 2 in their 2 day shipping thing with prime.

I did same day shipping for my AD900X and had no problems. They should give you a gift card or something.

Dsnuts, you have to hear these Gratitudes and that goes for everyone else here, they are blowing my mind. Yeah, I'm talking to you swalcer, and Wayne, I know there are some others, but I can't remember at the moment. And Gee, I don't know exactly what you're looking for, but this sound is exactly what I wanted. The CKN70s can't touch it. I can't believe I payed $60 for these. And I hate to say it, but I find myself grabbing these over my AD900X!! :O

Oh yeah, and Eric too!

Just backed the Pure earphones on Kickstarter. Can't go wrong for $25.

Shameless self promotion: If anyone wants to back the Geek Pulse, please put me as your reference on Indiegogo. It's a desktop version of the Geek DAC/Amp for $250. Ask me for my email address for the referral.

DUNU has been talking about the DN-2000, DN-900 and DJ-1000. I assume the DJ 1000 may be Studio Headphones. If it's the same price as the DN-1000, it'll be a direct competitor towards the Beyerdynamic DT770 80 Ohm, 250 Ohm, AKG K167 TIESTO and KRK KNS-8400 Headphones.

I actually enjoy my Gratitude's more than my Pro Coppers due to that small bass boost. It's nothing like the Pro Gold's bass, which I didn't care for, but it gives the headphones a little more warmth to them. Oh, and they were easily driven by my HTC One S. Though they seem to suffer a bit when I use them on my desktop. I'm just hoping the Focal's work out well because right now I find myself reaching for them more than anything I own.

I tried pulling the trigger on them, but amazon.com wouldn't ship them to Canada, so that was that! They sound like an awesome deal though, and I'm glad that you are enjoying them!

  I've been thinking about it. How does it compare to the S2?

Unfortunately I don't have the S2s. I was going to get those until I heard about this deal on the Gratitudes. These phones do have a great soundstage, it's very wide and deep. It's the stage that I imagine the CKS1000s have or at least very similar. If you or anyone else is interested I'll do an in depth review with my impressions.

Wow, Sony's returns are strange. Apparently because I don't have the cardboard packaging that the earphones came in I can't return them for a refund even though everything else is in pretty much mint condition..Anyone in Europe wanna buy some mint XBA-H1s?

I think it's the same policy here in Straya... At least you can still sell them here at headfi.
