    Audio-Technica ATH-ESW9 and ATH-ESW9A Thread

    My first few hours, impression has been very very satisfying. Ampless usage feels very... Liberating. Definitely transportable, but doesn't look durable, so, no go for everyday carry. Cable length is just right. I can sell all my gears and left with this pair only (but doesn't mean I would...) ;)

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

    Your advice is Golden. Larger HYBRID tips that doesn't penetrate the ear really does the trick. The tips really do significant difference. Now I'm more learned, thanks to you all. But I bought another iem and a transportable headphone, I'll decide what to do with im70 later. UPDATE 1: It...

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

    So I tried using some eartips (looks like a hybrid) I borrowed from a friend (did extensive cleaning prior to using) and it definitely helped, or there really is what we call burn-in process, bottom line is it no longer sucks that badly, although still too warm for my taste (and I placed an...

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

    Thanks for replying. I tried using different sources (amped and unamped) but differences weren't that significant, besides, I bought this thing for specific purpose in specific situation (working in noisy cafes) with specific sources (eg mbp and iphone). I don't feel like lugging more stuffs...

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

      My Portapro or even my KSC75 beat IM70 in all spectrums (to my hearing), but horses for courses, I require IEM isolation in noisy cafes. This thing is too dark for me. i can't imagine how far changing the tips or even removing filters can help. Lesson learned, audition before purchase.    ...

    Audio-Technica IM50, IM70 Discussion Thread

    My first foray into iem, and also my first hour with this thing. Trying so hard to like it but really has been an uphill battle. I feel the sound to be muddy, as if muffled by a pillow, and I've tried all the eartips supplied. Vocal sounds so soft and plush, I wouldn't call it smooth, it was...

    HELP me to identify this Siemens ECC82

    Thank you @sodacose! So that means these things aren't very popular? Based on rarity alone it's worth $60, but without any idea how do these sound I really don't know if I should buy it (online, no return). I'm not a collector, what if they sound awful? Oh man...

    Reply to review by 'novice' on item 'AKG Q701 Premium Class Reference Headphones, Quincy Jones Signature Line'

    Hello. I have a similar situation (I have one - and the bumps are killing me as well, and a DT880/600). I feel difference between those two is not significant enough to warrant owning both. I am thinking to sell this thing and get K701 instead (which you own/ed). Do you think difference in...

    Wired Headphones is Dead the future is wireless

    I share the same skepticism but I hope to be proven wrong. Imagine sleeping without tangling cables... Not to mention it's dangerous too. You never know what can happen in your sleep.

    My take on DIY custom Grado headband

    No, this is my first. Thank you for kind words but really I'm not really proud of it, still feels crude and not really up to the standard of refinement I expected.    Yeah I think full grain leather is too thick and kind of gave it a "rough around the edges" feeling. But I don't plan to redo...
