:) This is true with Guitars/pedals/gear, Home Stereo, etc etc. I haven' t been on here in a hot min but while i was gone i probably plunked down 14k in the guitar/home audio/LPs world. Happy over there and I'm still super happy with my AK120 (og) 2+ yrs, that with my Oppo PM3 or Shure SE425...

I'm going on two years with mine now and they sound great, I run them on my first gen AK 120 my Iphone SE, macbook Pro et etc and have nothing but good exp all around, i think they sound great/fine with the iphone SE.   I  recently had to send mine in to get new ear pads as my old ones were...

Anyone know where i can get mine fixed? they gave up on me after just 1.5 yrs...right near the strain relief/jack :(  I gotta say they're not bad but i think the next time around i'd get a pair of iems with removable cables. I got mine from CTC and they seem to be outta biz or they jsut didnt...

I'm still enjoying these fwiw, 6 months later and no complaints, aside from a wee bit of sibilance every now and then from certain albums. 

Fwiw, I had a problem with my first pair, they lasted around 3-5 hrs before one channel started shorting out with a faint crackle present, sent them right back and got a replacement pair fed ex'd overnight (as i ordered overnight) who knows what the deal was, maybe as others have said it was a...

Yes, For example Elliott Smiths Figure 8, "Son  Of Sam, the "ess" sound is almost painful to my ears, a few other tracks on that lp with S's drive me bonkers :O mind you this is thru my AK120> ALAC>a73 it's not there on my Oppo PM 3 or Bose OE but really annoying on the A73, Same thing went for...

Been rocking out with these things a lot, they still don't like certain albums, so i just skip those and keep it moving, but they do a great job for the $125 that i spent, so i ain't complaining..

The more i have these things on, the more i enjoy them, they have been surprising me more and more lately...Was listening to some FELA recently and man did it sound awesome...I'm gonna say, i havent taken my PM 3s outside since i got these :O

It's been a while now, mine have settled, still on the stock tips, certain LPs just sound better than others, they do well serving me in transit, they'll NEVER out perform my PM 3's but i never expected them to...that said they sound great for the $125 i spent...Now i'm back in Analog world jsut...

After trying all of the headphones on your list (via my AK120 and Ipod touch 5g) and rolling the dice on the PM3's without hearing them (Oppo said just send em back if ya dont like em) I'm glad i did so and judging by your list i kinda figured they'd win ya over!  keep up the good work btw!

No doubt, I was looking for a new TT when i returned the AT and an old friend of mine who is a well known DJ was like just get an old Technics or get a power cord for your old one, they are built to last and are easily serviced, same goes for the older Thorens, they just built them things so...

How about an old Technics? (Direct Drive) or maybe an old Thorens? having had both the things are tanks...i wish i still had my Thorens, my cousin lost it (along with my Sony 2 track Reel 2 Reel  :( ) I bought an newer Audio Technica and returned it in 2 weeks thing was a piece of **** I...

I will say i  have been listening to these on the go a lot as well as at home, they do sound great, for the $$ they are + i still have issues with certain albums being a bit sibilant vs others but a lil EQ seems to tame that, i guess my ears are super sensitive to treble.

Thanks, looks like i'm headed that way :)
