I'd love to know this too as well. From the photos I've seen of the ad900x it seems to me they might have emulated the ad700 design where the drivers are angled for a better fit and better soundstage imaging relative to the ad900 but that's just pure speculation on my part.

I started out with sr60s (the new i model though) too and recently acquired the AT-AD700 after reading recommendations in this forum. A lot of experienced users seem to rate the AD700 the best overall full size headphones under 100 dollars and I must confess I can see why. In my case though...

The fake phones haven't arrived yet but I've had a delightful repartee with the counterfeit seller. He insists he's just 'dropshipping' items and he's not aware if they are fakes or not. It's interesting to note that these scammers lay off an account after it builds up a few too many...

The old 'if its too good to be true, it isn't' adage applies. My bad for not researching properly before hand. I was actually looking for a pair of HD280s and I saw the ESW9's and jumped at the chance of getting them for just the price of a new pair of 280s... This same seller is also selling...

I read this whole thread and it seems almost certain I purchased chinese knockoffs. I already let the seller know I will check them thoroughly and if not satisfied I will demand a full refund. The seller relisted another pair. *BRAND NEW* Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 Headphones - eBay (item...

Come to think of it maybe that's the main reason I got a great deal on these phones, everyone is wary of getting a pair of ebay due to the proliferation of fakes. I tend to keep away from non US sellers since that seems to cut down on most of the sellers peddling fakes but as you mention...

Thank you for your opinion. Hopefully they are not fake but if they do end up being as such I don't think I would have a problem getting a refund due to using paypal to purchase the item. They do offer fraud protection if I remember correctly. We shall see.

Do any of you think these ESW9's might be fake? *BRAND NEW* Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 Headphones - eBay (item 280426023791 end time Nov-22-09 00:23:12 PST) I just bought them and now I'm thinking the price ($99) might be too good to be true. The buy it now price was $199 and I find it...

This one looks like a no brainer. Guess a better question would be, why wouldn't they be right for any audiophile needing a excellent IEM?

I checked the 3 buyers you linked to and to my satisfaction at least, the first two seem legit. I'd buy them, but I already pre-ordered beta brainwavz so that will do for my IEM needs for now.

Foie, check this review thread by Sinocelt. [Review] Five <$100 Earphones Compared It discusses both the RE2 and ADDIEM and can only help you in making your decision.

You might as well get the ADDIEM's for $32 (that seller looks legit enough for me at least) for now and you can later on upgrade to a better pair of IEMs like the RE0. The more you wait the better the deals get after all.

I don't think that's an option for any SoundMagic product.
