I don't know which version of the SOL Republics I tried, but I put on a demo pair that I thought looked pretty nice at HMV... and proceeded to put them back down in 15 seconds. Bass...Bad bass...All bass, nothing else.

Hmm what about the CLAS?

Ah you see i didn't know the what environment the OP presented to us would be in. If the environment in your (space station?) was made to be like Earth's then no there shouldn't be any difference :)

Not sure if this counts as necro-ing but...meh still wanted to throw it in. Not sure if you guys are all trolling or something but still...   Sound waves travel through gas/liquids/solids. Now we have that sorted, we know sound waves travel differently through them, right? They all have...

Quote: Will look forward to that! Really want the W4s right now, don't know much about the W4R though..

Only the early productions of the Asgard had hum afaik; the later ones didn't

Well it depends on what you use to listen, I listen at around 9-10 with my ESW9 :) 9 Seems pretty safe to me   Quote:  

AH SO IT WAS YOU! I just want to link my PSN to Steam so i can download Portal 2 on my computer... + call of duty online. Quote:  

haha yup! Wings FTW   Quote:    

I also use Fidelia and have the same issue as you do... Unibody Aluminium Macbook 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM Occasionally (couple times per song) the CPU usage of Fidelia jumps up to 70-85% and then it jitters for a few seconds while i leave the damn computer alone for it to settle down; I'm not even...

Nooo does this mean my E7 (apart from DAC through E9) will become useless once i get my X3? :(

OMG 2 pairs of PX200-II A white pair when I left home and a black pair at the MTR station (Local subway) ......... and some Beats Studios in the train...

Beats SoloHD, Studio, K518, some black IEMs idk what...

2 pairs of Beats Tours and a pair of TF10 :)

HeartBeats, two Solo(HD?)s aaaand iBuds. Good thing I didn't bring my ESW9 out in the rain today :)

Just wanted to see if you were ok since your location did say Fukuoka... Hope the radiation doesn't get to you!

Heh, we must all be loony!   Quote:  

I had a group of around 5/6 friends trying my ESW9s in a circle. Only 1 of them could tell the difference, while the others said 'Oh there's more bass!' or 'The Beats are better.' or 'They sound the same as my earbuds.' *sigh*

It seems from the OP that the OP (LOL) is willing to wait. In that case, I think it may be better to hold out and wait for the E17 to come out: The E17 is designed as an overall upgrade to the E7, having all of it's features but also with some extra while maintaining the ability to dock into...

You must listen at a pretty high volume for the studios to leak... I walk past a couple Solos sometimes and don't notice any leakage, having them blasting may be a different story though.

Wow, thanks for the reply, Tengen! I've gone and got the ESW9s since I'm not a basshead at all although I would say the bass on this satisfies my taste, doesn't overpower the mids at all. The mids are really crisp and as you say and the female vocals do really seem a lot livelier than my...

I just got my pair, real version basing off of candc07's pictures, no point in me posting pics since they're the same. I can confirm that the back does say Deutch and Paddock.   Quote:  

I haven't tried the W4s yet but seeing as your music range goes from orchestral to rap.. I'll suggest the IE8s. The soundstage on them is amazing after burn in.

I've had the crossfades but sold them. The bass was muddy and the highs weren't exactly as accurate as it seemed, seems like a lazy phone... But the build quality and the accessories that come with it are pretty damn good, I loved the exoskeletal case of them.
