My ES7 has been my only portable headphone which I need these days. I looked at apuresound but their portable cable is not ready. What somewhat quick solutions are available for me right now?

any ideas?

How can you tell what model version it is?

.

Mini review with laptop as source: The highs are not sparkly but in return they are smooth and rarely sibilant so that can be good/bad depending on your style of music. Mids are very unique . They are full and detailed but not upfront like many other ATs where vocals are shoved into your...

Thanks but those appear to be some kind of generic pad used for all three headphones.

I want to buy one for my es7 and could not find an answer to this. Audiocubes 2 does not have them. Does anyone know where?

Hello, I have a pair of earbuds with a j-cord and can't find anyone that knows know to recable it. Is there a way to modify the stock j-cord to y-cord somehow?

I have a ath-cm7ti j cord which I want to recable using a mogami but have no experience. If you want to take up the job, I'll pay you for the work+cable. PM me if interested.

I just got the ath-cm7ti and think it is pretty good for portable kick around use. Shamefully, it uses a j-cord which I simply cannot get used to. I was about to consider the apuresound portable cable but realized it is discontinued and I have not experience in these sorts of things. Where can I...

I still love the musical signature and ease of use... better than sansa clip. I don't have to look at the screen and it easily plugs into a laptop without other wires.

thanks

I've tried to search this but couldn't find anything. I also couldn't figure out how to remove them myself and don't want to force anything. Does anyone know how or have links to removing audiotechnica pads for washing? fatmaneatschild

I have been testing for an ultraportable solution that I can use without an amp. I refuse to use portable amps as they defeat the purpose of true portablility. Both the Yuins were tested with full foam pads. The sources are a very modest Ipod Shuffle 1st gen and Powerbook. PK1 - Even...

Ive had a friend that wanted to borrow my RS1 because she said they looked 'cute' on her.... which was true. Although this thread does generalize, I think the original poster is just having some fun :-b

I've used the iaudio 7 which had a nice built in amp but didn't like the sound quality. Can someone please give me a list? fatmaneatschild

I caught it at a bar and liked most of it except for the tai chi/globe segments. Does anyone know if the fireworks footprint in the beginning was real or computer animation. I though I heard the announcers say something about CGI but not sure. It was loud in the bar.

I would guess that the worldwide shipping is attracting those rich and strong currency Euro/Asian collectors , hence the inflated price.

I am very liberal when it comes to portable pairings such as this. I've even tried the huge k701 with the tiny iaudio 7 and it was fine. On sound quality alone, it seems like the shuffle is a perfect pairing to the rs1. Could you give it a quick test and give me your opinion please. Quote...

Yes but in comparison to other media players, doesn't the shuffle help the RS1 in this regard more than others? The shuffle has very controlled and non fatiguing highs correct?

For those with experience in this combination, I was wondering: The RS1 is known for their harsh highs( using bowls) with certain recordings and the 1g shuffle I believe is known to have subdued highs. Do you feel that this is a good combination which curbs the RS1's harshness while still...

I choose not to use an amp and run off either my laptop or 1st gen shuffle.
