I think Westone have always leaded the driver race. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the W3 was the world's first 3 driver universals, and also the W4.   I'm pretty sure there's a market for this. Even companies that make customs now also have universal shell option, still with hefty...

Someone (I couldn't remember) on the IM-series thread said that the IM02 is just basically a CK90-MkII in a new shell.. bummer :\   Quote:   Totally agreed about that but let's face it, somehow they have to move on, even discontinuing this gem is not the right way to do so. Maybe they...

Guys, this is getting out of hand. We talked about this in the first place because of the pricing and positioning of the IM02's being inferior to the CK10s.. CK10 used to be their flagship, and rightfully so. While the IM02 has been positioned below 2 more (supposedly) superior headphones...

IMO, IM02's MSRP seems to be a bit too cheap to be a real successor to the CK10. I doubt it will sound any better, especially considering that CK100PRO doesn't actually sound that much better than the CK10. Nevertheless, I do have high hopes for this. Somehow they put these new IM-series in...

  I won't recommend you to buy one because it had been discontinued for few years now :|

  I think it depends on where you originally purchased the headphone. But from my experience, they're willing to help. Maybe because it is a Japanese store and they have insanely great customer service. I got my pair back on Oct 2012 and I think they still have some left in stock. Here is my...

Just found out about this thread. Maybe I should share some of my personal all-time favs, mostly mainstream stuff   I just love her...   This song made me enter the audio scene. When I was at 7th grade, I bought an iPod Nano because of this MV lol. It was my first ever audio-related...

Quote:   Once I gave my friend a listen and his ears aren't that clean, so he left a small piece of earwax on my left filter, ew :( Then I carefully picked it off with a toothpick. But even being extremely careful, I pushed the filter inside about 1-2mm. Though I haven't noticed any sound...

Quote:   To me, Sony Hybrids are much more comfortable and much more isolating (as of the ones with foam inserts.) I've read somewhere that you could use the filter replacement tools from Etymotic, which IMO the best thing you could do when you clogged the filters and don't want to go...

I went to Sony shop in my country and ask them for "XBA replacement tips" and thus I got a noise-cancellation ones that got foam stuffed inside, which is awesome :)

Ultimate Ears is now a Logitech company, which may mean something about their "Beats-esque" marketing nowadays in their consumer line of headphones. However, they've been one of the well-regarded audio brand in the audiophile community. Granted, you could get something that sounds better for the...

Quote:   I'm still asking that to myself also..  I think the DBA02 MkII sounds close but not quite at the same level of CK10, not to mention about inferior fit, ergonomics, and build. I've heard pretty much all of the end-game universals but never found something that I like more than...

So, I got an unused Viablue plug lying around and my CK10 got virtually no warranty.. I decided to put them together..   The outcome is this multi-metal bling; titanium, aluminium, gold, bronze         I don't know if this is a placebo effect or not, becuase I don't have another...
