...you can also have a look at this thread: Link The plastic does not seem to say if the EC7s are fake or not... In fact I now also do own cheap EC7s and will definitely post a comparison with the cheap CM7s soon. But both are still burning in - especially the EC7s need A LOT of burn in...

...it was 15,50 Euro incl. shipping costs... The seller currently has no CM7s online, but I guess he will be offering them again, as I was the only one buying them and he had some more... Keep looking at http://search.ebay.de/_W0QQsassZgate868 But you don't have to mind that they come...

...had to vote Grado, though "team Alessandro" would be more precise Would like to get my hands on a HP-1000 though

...I'm just burning them in right now, I guess I will give you some further impressions later on, but some first thoughts: - Very good separation and resolution - Bass is (with foamies) surprisingly good and precise, though of course not as deep as with full-size cans - Highs can be quite...

I just bought some CM7s off of ebay and am VERY surprised how good they are. I have to admit that the finish is not perfect and they do come without any additional accessory, but that doesn't matter to me considering the price tag. Taking in account that I don't think that the original CM7s...

...don't the original E888LPs have a golden insert in the package?? I've also seen this offer and thought I'd better keep my hands off it... especially considering his feedback is "private" - that's no good sign... Leo

...or even May...

...the "old" MS-2 weighs 285 g (approx. 205g headphone + 80g cable) - so it's a bit lighter than the new one... Unfortunately I don't have the weight of the MS-1 that I gave away as a present yesterday - but as we already do have the weight of the SR-80, I guess it will be nearly the same...

...I really thought about trying to get one, but as I definitely don't have the money right now, I guess I'll have to wait for the next chance... But considering they were all sold within a second, I don't think I would have made it anyway Leo

oooh, that does not sound good to me - I also ordered MS-1s as a present two weeks ago. And since then I was wondering why they did not debit my credit card. Mmh, seems the MS-1 are not in stock at the moment. Hope they do not arrive too late Leo

Congrats from me also! I really do envy you... As upgrade ideas hit every one of us from time to time, I was always wondering how much better than my MS-2 the MS-Pro would be... so what's your personal impression, what's the main improvement??? Leo

...it's really interesting how people hear things differently. When I was comparing a SR60 and a RS-2 in a store, I did not like the SR at all, while loving the RS-2, in fact I found the difference to be huge. As the RS-2 was way out of my financial league, I finally bought an MS-2 and am still...
