Some impressions on the ATH-ES700. http://www.head-fi.org/t/645649/the-new-ath-es700/75#post_9095169  The wait was completely worth it.

Like Dsnuts, I got my CKN50's today. Really like them so far; they're very similar to the CKM500's but Dsnuts' earlier notes about them are accurate. I'm not too thrilled with the cable, but it could be worse. I'm also glad AT used the same nozzles as the CKM500's so I can use my Complys for both.
 
When they go on sale in a few weeks I'll probably pick up a pair of the CKN70's; I'm really curious as to what the differences are.

Ds, 
 
How do the ES700 compare to the XBA-3? Which would you see yourself using more on a plane or bus? Not that i can buy either one anytime soon... just like to know.

ES700. People see you with these cans on. What it says is. 1) Your a member of Headfi. 2) You have excellent taste in style 3) Most importantly you will enjoy the sound from them and look good doing it.. 4)These might make you the envy of any soundophile out there.. These were calling my name every time I logged onto Amazon Japan. Call it a feeling after getting the CKS1000, the AD900X,
 
AT is getting serious about their sound it seems.
 

 
I bought a bunch of Sennheiser double flange tips from ebay for $7 to use with my FXZ earphones. They fit on these and sound perfect. Try out wider nozzle tips on these.

One thing I forgot to mention about the Somics:

BURN THEM...

in.

The upper midrange is a little bit shouty out of the box. Give it some time/ Shure pads and it'll simmer down nicely. It's been two months since I got mine, and I've been using them a lot, so give yours some time to catch up.

Do the Somics have some degree of muddy sound, that is bassy mids?
