well I finally bought them on my NYC trip, I had to get refurbished cuz they couldn't find the mysterious 16 in stock (from the computer) so I got one of the 19 refurbished ones. THey say it's from the factory itself so .. and J&R is a good company so I have faith it's real, sounds great...

I did, I was wondering about the buydigg refurb products.. if the warranty was through AT for North America.. I'm assuming probably..

and the warranty is through audio technica for north america?

wow never heard of such a big problem with comfort for the ES7.. the mods usually fixed that problem. well I am a girl so my head is rather small (which is why I want something low profile if not I look like an unbalanced bobble head) so I'm hoping this won't be an issue..

ya.. it's just we're going in a big group and I'm the only one with an extremely different style and taste.. shopping wise I want to go to design stores and electronics and they want to go to forever 21... and the boys..sneaker stores. so I might just have to order them online, I know...

So I'm getting the ES7 finally, I am going to NYC in 2-3 weeks and I noticed J&R has new and refurbed Es7. I spoke to the salesman on the phone, he said the warranty is North American so that's good, and that it's refurbished from AT itself. My question is, has anyone had experience with...

hm v6's, I should check it out, and hopefully it would be easier to come by in Canada does it fit my requirements in terms of sound and other factors (comfort, leakage, isolation)?

hm.. this is still making my decision difficult!! are there no other ones that could like... meet all my criterias? ohman... as.we.proceed what is your assessment on sound leaking and sound isolation? seems that the es-7 still fits the bill but doesn't have the best isolation of the bunch...

hm ya I see, a studio can get somewhat loud, I think I want a headphone that is slightly more isolating so I can focus on my design work.... any suggestions? I looked at the HD25-1 : problem though, they seem rather flat with recessed midz HFI-580 : may be too bassy for my taste, I rather...

oo recessed mids, don't like that.

bump what is the difference? is it good unamped? I was considering the es-7 but seems the HD25 has better sound isolation and seems to have about the same sound qlty

for the HFI-580...ya I've thought of reducing bass through EQ but it seems that ppl are saying it's REALLY bassy... meaning if I plug it into any device I'll have to keep tweeking my EQ and reducing the bass and then if I stick in my IEMs I"ll have to rearrange everything once again.. just not...

okie thanks! I also love the way they look. would you say the mids are good at how's the clarity/warmth? soundstage? and how are they at leaking and isolating? Basically I like the sound quality of the UE super fi 5 pros, but wouldnt' mind more mids, slightly more clarity and soundstage...

alright well I'm back and I've been reading up on the HFI-580 and they are interesting however, the fact that they have strong bass scares me. I rather one headphones that is good and offers between crisp and warm sound so it's not too clear that it hurts my ear and not too warm that I hear no...

I didn't end up getting any. Since I wasn't able to decide... I just didn't go with any of the choices. I don't want to buy something I'd regret. I might just buy another pair of IEM's in the future since the super fi 5 pros seem to be harder and harder to get a good fit

bought some too, actually needed one for my new phone. And I bought one for the PSP too (really cheap, it's on sale as is!) for my future mp3 player, I'll just cut to size

yooo amazing. really seems like I will get this one

I'm really glad they have a working prototype though and let ppl touch it. Judging from their last press release regarding the x100 (is that what it's called?) I was a bit scared.. those paint renderings were terrible (and way off) maybe they could surprise us.. but how often does a company...

damn, the video on the 1st page said Q1 of 2009 so I got super excited, but damn, wait it is. damn!! my clip will have to do til then, getting a w760 phone too that'll keep me busy for a bit.. then school and then work.. but I want it now!!! web browsing wifi.. I thought it would only be...

Does sony work fast? Let's hope they give us a release date and all the specs at CES.. hope. If not.. I feel I will get the P3.

they better have a working prototype. From their last press release, it didn't seem like they had anything except half done Paint renderings.. maybe that was on purpose as to not give away too much? let's hope..

lol nylan I was rooting for the s9 but the reviews disappointed me a bit and I feel the walkman touch may be able to offer the same.. and more! so I want to wait for it and HOPE it comes out like a week after CES which I believe will not be the case... so I'm mp3 player less once again or...

yup me too Jwang... I like Cowon's features and raved SQ but I like the youtube, wifi and slimness of the S9. So if Sony has.... tactile buttons good battery life good UI options for themes/apps/games I am.. SOLD. But when is it likely that a player can ever satisfy everything...

you think the ebay seller is reliable? and don't you lose the guarantee?

some (unreliable sources) said it'd come out today, maybe not to general public or whatnot but it said today in US.... and cowon uk still says it's due for December. Let's hope soon since my clip (which was meant to hold me until the s9.. and I got a month ago) got lost amongst my commute...
