So they can be driven well without an amp?

Maybe

When you understand the audience that these phone are aimed at, you get the appeal. I can definately understand why snowboarders and skaters prefer them. And watching a video that was posted last week in the headphone section, the same kind of people who make these phones are the same who buy...

Anybody know a place where I can get them in the UK?

Lol Its not me, Just some crazy pic I found somewhere

Yes please tell more about this "updated" T2

I really want to make a move for these but I'm a little bit concerned about the isolation. Is it quite bad? I will be mainly using these on the London underground and on the buses and I don't think it'll be worth it if I can't even hear the great sound quality. How much more leakage do these...

Who knows! But I tell you what, If they come out with a quad driver that has rolled off highs, I'm gonna hang myself

Hows the clarity and resolution of the Westone 3's? Do they compete with the etymotic ER4's in this area?

So is there anybody in here who doesn't have any isolation problems? I mean its pretty shady for Sennheiser to state the IE8's isolation as 26db when people aren't getting that. Or is it more an issue of finding the right tips?

There's a small video review on cnet uk If anybody's interested Denon AH-D7000 headphones - videos at CNET.co.uk

The last I heard, They weren't so keen on supplying products to people who weren't in the professional music business so they changed the drivers. I'm not completely sure though.

The ACS custom line offer the same drivers as the Ety's. And dont let the lack of ACS ownership on headfi put you off. Andy's probably been around longer than all of the manufacturer's mentioned in this thread. He's helped train the folks at Etymotic and sensaphonics so he knows a thing or two...

Wow! what an unlikely place to see a review for the T2's. I was going to wait for the sennheiser IE8's to drop but I think I've just been convinced to drop the big bucks for the T1's.

They've got this cool 360 view on the sennheiser page aswell. Its quite large, thats quite some dynamic driver in there compared to my M5's. Sennheiser Electronic - IE 8

Just visited the sennheiser website and it appears that they have undergone some re-design changes. They now have a removable cable attachment for the IE8

Of course there worth it without an amp! aren't they aimed at portable audio anyway?

Do you only listen to radiohead or something? When I had my shure E4's they sounded great when listening to OK computer and the bends. I don't see why the Shure E530 wouldn't be better. You could also try looking into the ultimate ears triple 10 pro, there very well rounded across the whole...

Its not bad once you get over the fear of being stabbed by a yoooot! also try not to make eye contact for more than a split second, because that might get you stabbed. Oh yeah! and there's those bloody cctv cameras everywhere. I'm a cctv operative and people have no idea of how bad it actually...
