nobody else interested?

I went to visit Paradigms website and I found this...  Paradigm Shift It doesn't tell you much, but this is kinda exciting if you ask me. I own a pair of SE1's and an SE sub.

another vote for the ATH-ES7, I really don't see how they're so uncomfortable to others. I guess they could use velvet instead for leatherette. But they really did seem fine for me for 40 minutes.

I am interested in the floating headset too!

I tried ALO cable from 32 OHM on my JH5's, I noticed a difference right away. Larger sound stage, more energy (faster sounding) and improved overall clarity. It's not night and day change, but being really skeptical, it is defiantly worth the extra $$$.

Oh man, I apologize for my incoherency. Note to self: Do not post before having some coffee... What I meant was I like the ES7 over the D1001 musically. I admit the seemed a tad colored, but I really like them. There are some some points that the D1001's was better.

As I was about to buy the AH-D1001K, I find the rumor of the Creative labs Arivna suppose to be the same for a fraction of the AH-D1001K. I started looking at other headphones. Lucky I have 32 OHM, I tried the ATH-ES7, I'd say they got the Denon beat in so many ways. It isn't even funny. *sigh

It might not be news to you, but, MIR are one of the worst things that can happen since DRM.

IEMs

I wonder how the Beyer MMx300 are like?

I have actually lost count, so I was just curious. Oh oh, if I get mine together I gotta take a photo.

JH's do look pretty good. They do backup their products for 2 years. I believe UE is only 1 year.

That one is just down right ugly!

Oh whow, What!

those graphs are for reference value NOT the final outcome. Also your ears are going to hear a very different story. Anyways, who that heck would listen to sine generators all day?1

Why not Beyers MMX300? But seriously, maybe some of us WANT A HEADSET! NOT a headphone and mic combo!
