I’m wondering where I can get a hard case for this bad boy, a la an Otterbox. Already mine has taken a tumble or two whicjh has impacted the bus communicating with the SD card. Again I must reiterate how much my CT10 has brought my Sennheiser IE800s to life! The IE800s have a signature that is...

Very nice! If I were to get customs done I’d want a killer lightning design. Not cartoony electricity type like but proper lightning.

^ What is it like insofar as bass goes? Texture? Impact? Sub-bass (hugely important given my tastes)?

I don’t think there will ever be a consensus per se as everyone’s tastes are different. That being said, it is more or less the same makes and models dominating nearly everyone’s top 10. As is evident from my list I am something of a basshead. Unfortunately travel to Sydney is needed for...

How do I go about setting up my CT10 with my Mac so I can use file/folder browsing? I’d love nothing more than to be able to arrange and browse my collection of Essential Mix shows by year!

Much adoration for it from these ways. That being said I am still figuring out how to get the absolute most out of its customisable EQ, using the original Sennheiser IE800 and listening to a lot of progressive trance, techno and UK bass.

I will update my list accordingly soon, but currently auditioning my brother’s Oriolus mk IIs. The overall sound signature errs on the dark side. The bass is punchy, impactful and fast. Sometimes too fast. They are also a lot more musical than the original IE800. I’m quite drawn to their...

Yah, my ears are quite treble sensitive as well. And hopefully it’s not too long before I’m reunited with a cable-over-the-ear IEM too.

@Medikill: If the budget can’t leap into the stratospheric heights needed to acquire the Tias or even Fourtes, the U8s will be the next option. I need big bass, but also looking for a step up in details, timbre, mids and vocals. The IE800 has been a good stand in but lemme tell you its form...

The Sennheiser IE800 original punches well above its weight. It has done well to hold its own among the developments in recent years, even against its bigger brother the IE800S. The bass is nowhere near as visceral as the Atlas, but its overall signature is great and the treble spike can be...

Very keen to audition the Khan when it arrives here in Australia, although I’m not sure how its reported leanness will fare with prog trance and techno. I am currently with the original Sennheiser IE800, which is also very lean, although a bit of EQing has boosted the sound where it’s needed...

I am very keen to audition the Khan when it arrives here in Australia. Wishing its pricetag were in AUD haha...

For sure... If funds were limitless I’d probably own both the Atlas and K10U. God I miss them... I’m so glad the Atlas are reasonably priced! I imagine the Legend X, though bass heavy in their tuning, mightn’t bring progressive trance, techno and UK bass music to life in the same way a dynamic...

Atlas better than U18T and Legend X?? Methinks I’ll be reconsidering purchasing them next February... I found the bass a little hot when auditioning them (and that’s coming from a basshead), but that can be EQed or remedied with another source/ amp I suppose. There was a lot to love besides...

The IE800S’ subtle warmth and lovely bass did make them a candidate until more financial trouble arrived... They suit trance incredibly well. But they fell down like Southampton FC in 2009 when I threw a bit of Flamenco/ Spannish guitar at them, which sounded almost grating. Also, although...
