From the looks of GSM Arena's testing it looks like they did an awesome job: http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_5s-review-994p7.php   I can't wait to hear it.

Actually I'm hoping the output is still bad so I can justify going out and purchasing an AK120 ;)

I'm also wondering.... Now that it's out and in people's hands, what are your impressions? I'm sure someone will be testing the DAC output on the 5S soon to see if it is an improvement over the 5. It seems Apple's audio output quality has been going down since the 4, I hope this finally puts...

Unfortunately I did not hear a 335DW to compare. But personally I prefer not over exaggerated bass and I thought the bass was more than adequate on the 334

Thank you everyone for your replies and input, all of the responses helped me in making my decision. I was already headed to Hong Kong for the holidays and got a chance to visit Jaben in Hong Kong (the little headphone store). I got to try a few headphones but was just so impressed with the...

I have a question, why pay $1350 for these universals when for a few hundred more you can get the fully custom version of these IEMs that would probably have a better seal? I don't understand the logic?? Sasaki in his review has claimed that the universal version is clearer than his custom...
