Quote:   Well I thought I'd refresh people's minds a little and add some new pictures of the old favourite of everyone :-)   The box is a nice size and you can feel the quality.       Opening the box is like opening a treasure chest inside a treasure chest just hinting at...

After what seemed like an age (some strange processing problem on Play.com website meant my order was just waiting for three days not processing), my MDR-EX1000 arrived in my hand today :-)   I'm currently listening to some Vangelis on my NWZ-F805 using my MDR-EX700s so it'll be interesting...

Quote: Yeah I also am puzzled why the F's EQ only goes down to 400Hz when the frequecy range does go a lot lower and the supplied headphones also reproduce frequencies around 8 - 10Hz.  Very odd choice of cut off which could probably be changed with a firmware update??

Quote: Nice :-)  Japan only limited colour no doubt!!

Quote: You know you're absolutely correct about the Clear Bass and sub frequencies, but just now I switched everything off, switched on Dynamic Normaliser and Clear Stereo and yeah the sub bass frequencies really come through significantly with what I'm listening to right now (Richard...

Hi guys,   This may have been asked previously but there are too many pages to go through.  Has anyone ordered a 64GB Z direct from Japan to the UK, and if so where from and how much did you pay for shipping and duty etc?   Thanks

Quote: I was fortunate to see one being sold on Play.com for the paltry price of £287.  There were two being sold with the 2nd one priced at £499 so I made like Speedy Gonzalez and threw my money at them quick time (SotelPlay was the seller and are based in Germany).   Actually I've...

Hi guys,   I haven't read the entire 90 pages in this thread so apologies if this question has been asked and answered already.  I have the F805 (yeah don't laugh at me cos I'm in the UK) and upon using it the first time I did the system update which changed the EQ for the CLear Bass from 3...

Quote: Nice :-)   Hopefully I'll get my 1000s next week as well. Can't wait :-D

Quote: Glad to know I'm not the only person listening to that soundtrack, it's fantastic and I was lucky enough to see the film on the big screen.  Is there a place on Head-fi where people can talk about what music they use to test/enjoy their listening equipment?

Quote: Oh, I forgot to say that these are so comfortable in my ears that they feel so snug and secure that they probably won't fall out, whereas the 300s I was constantly fiddling with to keep them in or get the right balance etc etc.  I'm using the large (LL) silicon tips and they really...

Quote: I picked them up from PO depot this morning and couldn't wait to plug them in to my NWZ-F805 at work but when I did WOW!   The difference between these and the supplied EX300s was staggering and I had to turn the volume down on the player.  I thought to myself, hold on is it...

Quote: I've been looking on their site as well but wasn't sure if I should buy because I wasn't sure how much it would actually cost to have them shipped.  I used the dutycalculator.com site but luckily I found a pair on Play.com for £287.95 (only 1 at that price of course) and I've just...

Quote: Well they only cost me £55 so I can't really go too wrong and they won't be my main listening units.  I've still got a pair of XBA-1s waiting for a test run and I'm hunting for a pair of EX1000s as I've mentioned so I won't be short on earphones to use.  Even the EX300s that come...

It seems as if I've been bitten by the 'bug' and last night I've acquired a pair of MDR-EX700 (used, but not much and still boxed with all accessories) and it will be interesting to compare these with the EX-1000 (when I get a pair).   I originally had a pair of what appeared to be EX-700s...
