So, the cable on my old VSD3S died a few months ago. I could probably get a new jack and a solder kit, but I figured I might just replace them with the updated VSD3S instead for a little bit more. Looking through the last few pages, I get the impression that it's a slight, but worthy upgrade if...

Quick question. What size, if any, Comply tips fit with these?

I was surprised mine lasted so long as I always have them in my jeans. When I first got them, I was expecting it to start tearing like Apple headphones do within a matter of months.   The only annoying thing is that I'm towards the tail end of a holiday in Japan at the moment, so I don't...

My VSD3s are about to give up the ghost. Whichever channel voices are almost dead. Instrumentals are fine, but if I listen to music with vocals, it sounds tinny, almost as if people are underwater and super quiet.   They were working without a problem yesterday. Half-way through a song today...

LMUE shipped out my VSD3S earlier yest. Looking forward to having some IEMs again after I lost my E30s early last year.

Has anybody who ordered the VSD3s on the 25th heard anything beyond the processing of orders? Not sure if my order actually went through or it's on hold.

Glad I came across this thread. I've been on the verge of pulling the trigger on the VSD1S or GR06s for the last few weeks and was thinking about putting an order in tomorrow. Was put off by the VSD1S's design and the GR06's age beginning to show. These look really nice. I doubt I'll get the...

Got my E30s today as well. Similarly impressed. I'm not really much of an audiophile; though I do appreciate a good sound system, I don't quite get the nuances that people here do. But listening through my gym playlist right now and I'm happy enough with the sound quality, which is great for...

More likely a know. I'm usually swung by the whole "it's only a little bit more money" schtick when it comes to pushing a budget.

Just looking at the SoundMagics, I noticed that EH11s aren't much more; how are they by comparison? Thinking about it, I'm probably not going to be too strict with my budget, something around the £50 bracket is probably more accurate.   Otherwise, the E30s are looking like the ones to  do...

Tried in the advice thread, but didn't get a reply, so I may as wellask in a thread.   I need to get some new headphones for the gym, running, cycling and all that.   The last pair I had were a pair of cheap Senn hook earphones that did the job, but they weren't fantastic.   Looking...

I need to get some  new headphones for the gym, running, cycling and all that.   The last pair I had were a pair of cheap Senn hook earphones that did the job, but they weren't fantastic.   Looking for another pair of hook earphones, preferably with in-ear buds since I have odd ear...

Well, I had to get all my soldering stuff from a shop and gave it a go myself. I didn't too a bad job of it, but it looked like it was going to fall apart again any second, so I got it done by AT, since £15 isn't too bad to be fair. Got them back today and well, it's more secure than my...

Have you looked at that headphone mod in the ATH-ES7 thread?

Well, I got the estimate Quote: Repairs can be sent in for estimate of cost of repair, no charge will be made for this. Cost of return carriage will incur, if the cost estimate is rejected. The charges for out of warranty repair are as follows:- Labour (£ 20.00) +...

Well, if it ends up being any more than £25 ($50) before shipping, then I probably won't bother. But if it's around that region I'd be willing to pay that, simply to keep the aesthetics of the audio jack and well, better them doing it than me. Whatever I do, I'm definitely going to be much...

Well, I think I'm going to wait for AT's reply about cost first. When I get something back from them, I'll decide whether or not it's best to give a DIY job a try. I've done a little bit of soldering before, at school, but that was over 4 years ago now and well, as you can tell from my OP in...

Right, since most of that went whoosh over my head and I don't have any of the parts required and will have to buy every single tool as well as a new jack. I'm going to see how much it'll be to get the new jack and the headphones rewired by AT, then I'll decide whether or not it's worth...

How would I get through to the jack? I mean, the rubber around it is quite tough and I'm not quite able to pull it out. Seriously though, if I have to resort to it and if AT's repair service, I'll probably end up crying...haha.

Well, I've was on vacation and I ended up getting a pair of black ES7s in Japan a week ago, and all was going fine until today. Unfortunately, I've had a string of bad luck since I came back to the UK (£400 phone bill because I forgot to set my phone to international), overflowing bath...

Well, I ended up getting a pair of black ES7s from Akihabara for 10000yen which is about £50, which is a right bargain. Unfortunately, I've had a string of bad luck since I came back to the UK (£400 phone bill because I forgot to put my phone to international), overflowing bath soaking my...

I think I'll just go and get them today, in white I think...just because it looks a bit flashier and I have black hair :P If I decide that they're not really for me, I'd still be able to sell them for lower than the English RRP and still be able to make a slight profit.

So I'm in Osaka at the moment, and I tried on some ES7s and I have to say. They sound like a dream and don't stick out from my head as much as I was worrying about. My only worry now is the price, though it's cheaper over here than in the UK, I've spent more money on random bits and bobs, and...

Hehe, thanks Yeah, Japan is going to hit me hard, more so being a poor piddling med student So, would you say that ES7s are a decent entry level headphone?

Just a really quick question here. But how do ES7's look on people with relatively big heads? I've read that they jut out a bit from head on and well, cans with a low profile is one of my preferences. Or is the mod linked in the OP's post enough to sort things out. I'm not really an audiophile...
