Recently I had a chance to audition MyST OrtoPhones http://mycroft.su/en/catalog/izodinamicheskie_naushniki/myst_ortophones in Mycroft office in Moscow. I am not an expert in hi-end headphones and do not intend to write a review (especially considering my English), just wanted to share some of...

Why don't you consider q-Jays? They're extremly comfortable, have no major drawbacks sound-wise, and you can read several in-depth reviews here and there. They are not very popular on the head-fi due to the trend of the people here to give love to some models instead of the other (sometimes...

I'd suggest you to start with something with good bass and not so expensive. Atrio, q-JAYS and Denon will be good starting point IMHO. Denons have the weakes sound isolation and instruments separation among these, and requires long burn-in. Atrios have the most powerful bass, and q-JAYS would be...

Thanks for the review. How would you compare their midrange to that of q-jays (which is thought to be distant and recessed too)?

According to the forum on jays.se, only 1% of their earphones are faulty (incl. dead drivers, broken cables etc.) which is quite good. I believe they have very sturdy cables, mine doesn't show any sign of wear after some heavy and careless usage. Durability of the earphoes themselves is...

They aren't going to sit securely in ear with this kind of tips, i suspect...

I have compared both models some time ago, and that's what I remember about them: SCL5 have much more reliable wires, which hovewer makes them quite uncomfortable. It took me much more time that with 530 to get a more or less comfortable seal. They sound nothing like SE420 (to my ears at...

From now on, I will start completely ignoring personal insults like that post above. Argumented discussion of earphones is welcome if someone will be interested.
