More opening impressions, haven't listened more, but driving somewhere (not at the wheel)...they remind me on 1st listen of the AT 1k, immediately the sound jumps out at you, 3D, holographic. Bass is crazy (as my daughter would say), round plentiful, but don't seem to impinge on the mids. Nice case, a bit large, closes with magnet (like AT - think the AT comparisons are a coincidence?). Wood body is pretty, haven't had a chance to play with tips yet.
Good observation I think the CKS1K does share some similarities but unfortunately the CKS1Ks are outclassed in every way just about exept for depth perhaps. The sound stage is actually larger on the FX850s. Balanced better, tonally much more correct with better definition, more spacial qualities, a much higher end treble and timbre once burned in correct..CKS1KS have somewhat of an off tonality in the mids compared to the more natural tonality of the FX850.( Comparing to a well burned in FX850 that is.)
I would burn the FX850. Gazillion hours.. Actually around 80-100hours and they finalize in their sound signature any extra has minimal change.( Debatable if the cable needs the extra run in time) Burn in definitely needed.
Sound will tighten with better clarity with fantastic definition. Tighter bass, Mids become much more focused, treble becomes more dynamic..Will improve in every way possible actually from open listen.
Just got this album. Unbelievable with the FX850. Ear candy right here.
One of my test tracks for every headphone/earphone is "Shambala" by Beastie Boys. Try that out with the FX850's. There's a lot going on in the music and sounds great with a headphone/earphone that can showcase the depth and layering that's in the music.
Back to the Sony H3's, haven't gotten to listen yet, but tried UE tips, better, ahhhhh (sigh of relief), thanks ericp!
That's great, listened on Mog, JVCs sound great on these. Want to go to the source, really great recording? Olatunji, "Drums of Passion", Track Jin-Go-Lo-Ba.
Time to crash...

glad you liked Olatunji, Drums of Passion. Olatunji was my live drum teacher for years at the ESALEN institute in Big Sur CA. he was the "ambassador of drums"
and a true messenger of peace through music rhythm and dance! and that album is a great recording.
