I know it might be out of your budget but the Denon D2000 have really good SQ, far better than ES7s. I know this because I just upgraded from my old ES7s and when you pair it with a  half decent amp, pure audio bliss....

Hey,    I have had my ES7s for a year and recently the left earpiece stopped working (the wire probably detached) and although I know I can probably send them back to Audio-Technica for repair, they are the most uncomfortable headphones I have ever worn, pinching my temples in a vice like...

Hey so I know the HD595 retails for around $200 but does it trounce the AH-D1001 and Grados in terms of sound quality and comfort? I am thinking an open headphone is a good idea due to sweaty ear syndrome...  Where is my best bet to buy cheap headphones because I don't want to get screwed by...

    So around a year ago, I came to these forums looking for a good set of portable headphones. the ATH-ES7's were recommended to me and I am very happy with their sound quality. One of the issues I have with the headphones is that they are uncomfortable to wear for even short periods of...

Just got my new ES7's with a Mini Box F portable amp to go with my Iphone. Really enjoying the sound!

Just got the Minibox F and I'm hearing some random static scratches and pops? Could this be interference or something defective?

I wonder if this means that they are going to release an updated version of the ES7s?

Does anyone know where to get the ES7's online and shipped to Canada for a reasonable price because most stores i've seen charge $40 international shipping when that clearly ridiculous. I was about to buy from ebay when this thread convinced me not too...

I wonder if its possible to demo the ER4P because it sounds like a high quality IEM...

I'm not sure if I would consider IEMs because I have found that they never feel comfortable. If their was an IEM in this price range that blows away the portable headphones then I would consider it...

The ATH-ES7 also seem to get complaints for their uncomfortable design which could be a deal breaker... According to this reviewer "The cups themselves are quite small, even for my small ears which is unfortunate because they end up being on-ear cups that are attached to a headband that...

Wow how can these cans be so cheap if the MSRP is like $200! Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 Portable Stainless Steel Headphones (Black) |BeachCamera.com These look like a good idea because the Dennon's and Senn's are less portable and look a lot larger and goofier. I will go demo them somewhere...

I checked online for a place that sells the Denon AH-D1001 but I cannot locate an online store. I wish I could use Amazon.com but I live in Canada and you must have a US residence... Does anyone know where these can be had or the HD25-1 II online because the real audio stores charge even more...

I had a pair of Bose on ear headphones which were fine until they broke from their cheap construction. Now I am desperate to find a comparable high quality portable headphone for my Ipod and for less than $150. I went to a store and demoed the Grado SR60's, Sennheiser HD238's and the Ultrasone...
