Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
Well, I don't like to be the person that only chimes in with negative news, but my replacement pair of ATH-TWX9's now have a failed left driver. Some of you may remember my first fiasco with these things back in November (to summarize: the IEM's somehow became de-synced from each other and would...- Aurosonic

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
My replacement pair of ATH-TWX9's arrived today–two days earlier than expected. Gotta love Amazon 2-day shipping. Back in business. Hopefully this pair lasts longer than 3-weeks. I can now use the features in the AT Connect app. Setting touch button sensitivity to high fixed the wonky controls...- Aurosonic

I am undecided about what I will do with the faulty pair. I'll let you know if I offload them.- Aurosonic

The Amazon rep said they will be delivered on 11/17, so if they ship tomorrow that's three day shipping. That's how long the original pair took to arrive.- Aurosonic

Amazon JP responded and will be sending a replacement pair. I do not need to return the faulty pair. They were very apologetic. Considering that they would need to reimburse me $98 for the return shipping, this isn't much of a loss for them. I've been an Amazon member for over 10 years and their...- Aurosonic

Going fully Wireless IEMs. Too soon? Or are we there yet?
I sent an email to Amazon JP pleading my case, as their live chat was closed for the day. $98 to ship a one pound package seems exorbitant, and the potential for the package to be denied because of the lithium batteries is disconcerting. Buying international is always a gamble, and unfortunately...- Aurosonic

I just read through your posts. Shipping lithium batteries certainly complicates things. I ran an online quote through DHL and the cost is showing $98. That's nearly half the value of the earbuds. I'll try speaking with an Amazon rep. The AT rep I spoke with was friendly, but ultimately...- Aurosonic

For those considering the ATH-TWX9's, I want to share with you my experience. I purchased them from Amazon Japan on October 18. They arrived quickly, and worked right out of the box. I bought them to wear in the gym, and for the past three weeks they performed nearly flawlessly (the ANC touch...- Aurosonic

Stax SR-X9000
Yep, you can't defy physics. Headphones are great for what they are, and are the next best thing if speakers are impossible/impractical. But having the drivers an inch or so from your ears means true soundstaging and imaging is unachievable. Having performers surround your head versus them...- Aurosonic
