ESW9: isolation and such
ESW9's don't isolate well, I can hear my sister playing clarinet pretty clearly next door with music playing through my headphones and closed doors..- Timothy.Wong

Somewhat Frustrated!!!!!!!!
Quote: I own the ATH-ESW9 and they are great phones for vocal songs because of its midrange. The sound signature is very addictive, I now find my Triple.fi 10's rather boring to listen to now. However they do NOT isolate well, you will hear exterior noises and undoubtably at higher volumes...- Timothy.Wong

Review by 'Timothy.Wong' on item 'Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 Sovereign Wood Headphones'
A little background: This can be considered my first decent pair of "portable" headphones. I have a pair of HD650s at home and I usually use my customs or UE TF10 Pro's when I'm going out. I've stopped using in-ears for a while because I seem to get swollen canals after prolonged use and it...- Timothy.Wong

Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread
I've had the TF10's + 1 driver for quite some time now (i'd say around two years and a bit..) but i've never used them as much as i've used the Triple.fi's before they have been remolded by UM. I have been considering repurchasing a set of Triple.Fi's as i really like the highs on those and imo...- Timothy.Wong

Meier Audio Quickstep (also Stepdance and 2Stepdance) Discussion and Impressions Thread
Quote: Well with a store-bought non-rechargeable 9V battery (i would guess it's around 500-600mAH), mine lasted for around 12 hours on high-drain. I mean many other portable amps could promise more hours, but you are looking at an amp with no compromises to sound quality and the...- Timothy.Wong

Colorfly C4 or HM-801?
Does anyone know if the colorfly c4 has a "shuffle" function? i'm very tempted to upgrade from my iPod but if i listen to Pop songs i usually like to listen to it shuffled.- Timothy.Wong

Looking for an amp with neutral. warm sound signature
Quote: haha i have exactly the same situation, i've been looking for an amp for my TF10 (4 drivers) in that price range as well. unfortunately my local headphone stores don't sell the iBasso T3. Would the D12 Anaconda give better sq?- Timothy.Wong

Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread
Quote: Yes i think you should do that. I wish i requested that in the first place, because my remolded customs don't really fit snugly inside my ears and i would periodically have to press on it to prevent the bass from escaping and for better isolation. Well it's for me anyways, not...- Timothy.Wong

Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread
Quote: not sure if my contribution will help. but i've bought non-mainstream cables (well not the ones made by UE/Westone/UM etc.) before and my cables don't have memory cables but instead they coat the portion of the cable that fits around the ear with thicker plastic and therefore...- Timothy.Wong

Unique Melody Remold Impressions Thread
Well when i got my remolded Triple.Fi 10 Pro's (plus additional driver) i bought a Westone ES3 cable and i thought it was pretty decent, although the wire did start to rust after a while (turns green but doesn't affect sound quality), and also the plastic bit that goes around your ears is a...- Timothy.Wong

Possible that my body "rejects" in-ear headphones?
I have really small ear canals :/ it's so small that even the awesome guys at unique melody emailed me saying that my ear canals "were like a baby", so needless to say iem tips never fit my ears well (even the smallest kind). I honestly think custom earphones is your solution, because it's...- Timothy.Wong

It would be so awesome if MaoDi could write a guide on the different armature drivers and their sound attributes :)- Timothy.Wong
