Anyone get a chance to hear these at CanJam Hong Kong? Very curious as to your impressions and/or any comparisons (even to the ES-1a).

I was informed that it is an improved version of the ES-1a, in terms of sound, driver technology and build quality. New/different improved ear pads as well in PU leather.

Based on initial feedback, “ES-1a was a bit aggressive and treble happy. The ES-2a addresses this problem with smoothened treble and less "honk" in the mids and upper tones. It fits better in with long hours of listening, while not compromising technical qualities. Also there is added benefit on better instrument imaging, separation and having a big, spherical soundstage presentation that even exceeds the Omega.”

I placed an order this past weekend, mostly on experience with ES Labs on the es-R10. I really hope he hits the bullseye dead on with this release. A friend also couldn't resist the temptation as he has also experienced my es-R10.
