I completely agree on the HD700, but the hd600/650 sales are pretty much constant...it definitely seems like they are clearing stock...although that doesn't mean they're launching Orpheus 2.0 necessarily, it could mean they're going to either A: refresh products or B: set a new price point and...

I already have a fidelio x1, and I ordered the mass drop K7XX....but I had been looking at the HE-400 for a while now...How does it compare to the fidelio x1 and (what is assumed to be) the AKG anniversaries? (Please talk me out of this haha, I am hesitant to own 3 200 dollar headphones lol).

People seem to have insanely strong opinions about the HD700. As in actively not liking listening to them, or loving them. I think this might be something that you have to find out for yourself but from what I understand it's definitely not a "X is better in 90% of reasons, most people prefer X...

Darn! I was agonizing over whether I needed a pair of HD700s, some negative comments about it made me a bit scared (too much treble?) but I think those were criticisms of it at the initial price of 1k! I finally reached that tipping point and tried to check out when OOS :(.    Anyone know if...

Are there any authorized dealers for these headphones outside of amazon.com? Not enjoying the 30 dollars of sales tax and the 1 month delivery timeframe...makes it 320 dollars :O. Much more than the ~250ish it was a month ago. Does philips typically honor warranties for headphones purchased via...

Just something you haven't possibly considered: over the ear headphones will get VERY sweaty if your workouts are even moderate intensity. That's why I work out with IEMs just because after they're inserted, they seem to be inserted sort of past the skin that sweats so they stay dry, even if the...

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Amazon# Same as amazon for lifetime reviews. I ordered over a year ago when they apparently were still doing things right. Blah. Only other option I had was audio cubes for almost twice the price with a less than stellar rating profile too: Keenzo has a...

Update! I cannot find the box, it was really small and crappy (plastic) so my mom may have tossed it after I went off to college. Keenzo.com is also still performing their "update" of customer records which they said would take 24 hours at least 2 days ago. Would this even be sufficient? I have...

The build quality on the CK10 is indeed phenomenal but headphone cords will eventually come disconnected if you use them a lot I suppose. It should be noted I've used my full-sized headphones quite a bit for over 3 years now without issue because they have a removable cord.I did treat my ck10...

An estimate about remolding came back at 185, with 45 for detachable cords. This was for Alien Ears though so there is another I've contacted which should be cheaper. If audio technica doesn't honor the warranty I might as well attempt surgery. What would balancing the CK10 involve? The DBA-02...

Quote: How easy is it to pop the shell off and attempt to reterminate it? I might give that a go if only to test it. Otherwise I'm glad there are a few alternatives with comparable quality around 150-160 if the drivers are indeed broke. If the drivers are fine I may get it...

Thanks for the replies guys. Fortunately audio technica does list the CK10 as having a two year warranty (part of the reason why I went with them). http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/site/9b1da7946d7de4bf/index.html#hp   I found the page for e-Q5  easily enough, but couldn't find info on...

I haven't contacted audio technica yet but from what I understand they stopped making CK10s. I bought them last year, but I'm not sure if they were an authorized dealer (I don't think anyone is really since they're imported from Japan I believe). Out of nowhere the left channel goes completely...

Ok so the tf10 are not hugely superior compared to the E530. I guess they're out. I'd love to buy the um3x but they are definitely out of budget ( trying to get away from shady retailers on ebay that sell it for 340 and headphone solutions sells them for 380 so both are out of my price range. )...

"For reference I listen to electronic music that does have some bass but it isn't the classic "UNCE UNCE UNCE" music. I also enjoy rock, a bit of heavy metal ( no screamo ), and classical." From my first post. Those are the types of music I listen to. I'm mostly concerned with a somewhat...

Yes sorry, I edited my OP to say that. Doh.

Gr, I hate making a new thread after just making one last week but circumstances have changed. I now have increased my budget to 250 dollars. I made a previous thread that helped me determine the audio technica CK10 to be my best bet. The only problem is that the retailers selling it suck. A...

Can anyone tell me where I should buy these online for ~180-200 dollars? Audio technica never responded to my email =(.

I am also looking for a place that I can buy the CK10s from. Currently keenzo.com is the cheapest but I haven't heard back from audio technica about their warranty policy if I purchase it from keenzo. Anyone have experience buying these in the US? The warranty is kind of important since it is...

I sent audio technica an email asking about it but keenzo has me a tad worried. Keenzo Electronics - keenzo.com - Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings Not horrible but quite a few people with complaints. I'm assuming this is largely blown out of proportion? How are the shipping...

The vibes weren't bad on comfort really, I just had a bad overall experience with them. I'm definitely over-analyzing this though, I'm sure they will fit. I am also interested in what tips you use. I was thinking of using one of the defaults but I'm open to suggestions. Right now I'm just...

He's not responding. Does anyone know if you can listen to IEMs at guitar center? I was thinking about swinging by there and seeing if they have any to try. I might try some other places too but I think for the most part I just have to /pray that they are comfortable. Apparently sleek audio...

People have lauded audio technica's job with the cabling, no microphonics, durable, flexible and soft. This is all very encouraging. The auvio box is around the size of a wallet then? I'm just trying to establish a scale, but it looks good. Dark blue is great, maybe even better than black. The...

A picture would definitely be appreciated, it's odd it never is photographed online. The CK10 are indeed not very popular, I think that's because it started out at 400 dollars or something so people were not too excited. The case that comes with SA6 is not particularly impressive ( looks like a...
