Got mine from "asavings" as well. Back when it was $104 + 25 international shipping. They came in the box sealed and new with all the accessories and documentation. They seem genuine.

I suggest waiting a while, stocks must be low so prices are $USD185 on ebay, I got them for $128 two months ago including shipping.

Hi, happy holidays everyone!

Yeah, don't worry too much, as long as it's not going loose.   I have the m50s for a week now and the metal cable relief has already separated from the mini plug. Used some electrical tape on it and it looks great.

@j57park, what app is that?

Yes, got that. I even have the LPs for all their albums. How did you get to know them? They were once the opening act for Radiohead. They became mainstream after Takk I think.

My favourite album from Sigur Ros is Agaetis Byrjun. I got to see them in Sydney. Amazing

AIAIAI tracks are beautiful. So minimal looking. Under-appreciated, SQ is fine.

What! PX100, circumaural! NM, your ears are small!   Maybe your ears fit in the 50 AUD cent. Those are huge, IIRC.

I have small ears too. I'm sure Trysaeder's ears fit inside the ESW9 and the ears still touch the outer pads. Most supra aural headphones do cover my ears and not on ear.

I've purchased an IEM and the Bithead in the past. They also gave me a new IEM when it got faulty. Very good service.

mikop, thanks for sharing the pictures. I imagined the esw9 would be a bit bigger. Smaller than I thought.     Look forward to your comparison. Which would you prefer for casual/fatigue free listening? I do like the m50 for analytical listening.

I can't wait for velour. Black velour..?   What's the difference between the semi-leather and the synthetic ear pads? I think I'll get the straight cable soon.

Yeah, I used to get comply from marcopolo as well. Too expensive in the long run so now I use silicon tips.

  Yeah portable headphones are underappreciated here, I prefer on-ear or over-ear during winters, warmer ears and IEM ear tips are cold outdoors or don't make a good fit during cold weather. Maybe my ears shrink a lot Quote:

Yeah, same here!

Yeah, I would like to see a pic on someone's ears. Should look funny.

How about isopropyl alcohol?

My vote is on the TMA-1. However I'm very interested in the mids from the esw9.

Nice looking LOD, redhaze.

Yeah, seriously considering a lighter cable like my iem cables. Those stock ones are not portable.   I like the TMA1 especially in the cold weather coming ahead. Keep my ears warm

With Anna Draper dead, I wonder If we get to see more Dick Whitman/Don Draper moments. All that's left is the wall painting in California and his memories.

I love Mad Men. My favourite period piece.   Great writing and production design.
