Introducing the MA650 Wireless and MA750 Wireless
Any updates on this? I have an unopened set of MA750 that I'd really like to upgrade to the MA750 wireless.- birarda

High End Bluetooth Headphones
Saw those UE9000s come up on SD and was tempted for a bit, but read about the competing sound signatures and saw that they were pretty bulky, so I think I'm more convinced by the AF62s at $80 (with a longer warranty too). Still having connection issues with the AF62s though. I'm going to get...- birarda

Wore the AF62s all day today. No question that for my tastes the sound of the AF62s is better than the MDR-10RBTs. The Sonys are just too muddy in the low end, ruining most of the music I listen too. The AF62s are as light as the Sonys, but feel less delicate, which is nice. The carry...- birarda

The AF62s just got here, and am giving them a listen now. The sound is already way less muddy than the 10RBTs, which is a welcome difference. They also surprisingly feel more solid than the Sonys, even though they are plastic. Will do some more A/B testing to confirm that I prefer them...- birarda

To be clear, the AF62s were on-ear but the new 'Matrix2' model of the AF62s are over-ear. They also add 4.0 + apt-X and more battery life vs the original Matrix model. Am really curious to see how these feel come Thursday. Will be heard to beat them if they're close to the MDR-10RBTs and are...- birarda

The AF62s are over-ear, as far as I can tell from their website and the promo shots. http://www.meelec.com/product_p/hp-af62-cf-mee.htm- birarda

Nice sale on Amazon on the AF62s today - $80. Going to pick up a pair of those as well so I can test against the MDR-10RBT and see which I like better. Don't love the carbon fiber look of the AF62s but the price is nice and from what I've read they would be less bass heavy than these...- birarda

So, I've got a pair of MDR-10RBTs I'm testing out now. @cehowardNote3 - what was your experience for the bass on the 10RBTs vs the 1RBTmk2s? I find the 10RBTs to be much more bass heavy than I am used to, although I imagine this gets better with use as I notice less or they get burned in.- birarda

Mike (from Pendulumic) was very helpful yesterday helping me get my S1s returned to them. Had a 10 minute call with him in the morning and the S1s were headed back to them by noon that day. Am very interested to hear impressions about the newer revision as it sounds like they will have a...- birarda

The MK2s definitely have aptX as per the codec section on the sony website. http://www.sony-asia.com/product/mdr-1rbtmk2 To me the biggest problem with the MK2s is availability and warranty. If something were to go wrong with them you've got to ship them back to an intermediary seller...- birarda

For anybody still on the fence on the S1s, I'd really recommend you put your money elsewhere. While they're good sounding cans, I'd be seriously worried about getting any support if anything ever goes wrong with them. I reached out to them 24 hrs ago to start an RMA and have heard nothing...- birarda

Although I'm planning on returning the S1s, I will say that I'd recommend bluetooth headphones to anyone thinking about it. It's been incredibly refreshing to not have a cable coming out of my ears today.- birarda

Yeah, I have a line on a pair of used 1RBTMK2s for a great price, but they're across the country and I'd have to get a friend to buy them and then ship them to me. I'd be worried about getting scammed and paying ~$250 to end up with a pair of not-working beautiful headphones.- birarda

MDR-10RBTs are back on sale for $180 across multiple retailers in US. I think they'll sound comparable to the Pendulumics but look nicer to me. Returning my Pendulumics- birarda

Really happy with the limited bleed of sound so far. We work in a pretty intimate office and I've asked co-workers to let me know if they hear anything coming from the cans and there have been no complaints even with the volume up pretty high.- birarda

Got to work today and saw package on my desk, so I guess they did show up on Monday after all. Charging them now to give them a go on wireless first once they are ready. I am not impressed so far by the build quality but it is something I suppose I could get past if the sound is great...- birarda

Guess I should have been clearer - this is a guy who got them from Asia that is now selling them on craigslist. I guess I could ask him if he has the original receipt and then contact the vendor.- birarda

Found somebody selling a set of MDR-1RBTMK2 locally for a pretty good price and now I'm really torn. Do I get the cans that will probably be better but not have a proper warranty given that they're only sold in Asia?- birarda

Yeah - seems unlikely but they said "if purchased today, we will ship them tomorrow and you should have them by Monday!" so I assume that means this coming Monday.- birarda
