Hi! At the moment I have MS-1i and AKG K701 phones and I love some parts of them both. But what I'm really looking for is a phone that combines the dynamics and sound signature of MS-1i with the resolution of K701. Guess I could budget some 500usd for it. I'm not that in to soundstages and...

I just bought 75 ohm impedance adapter and use it with my ESW10JPN to my Little dot MK 3...but why the SQ degrade so much? so dry, thin mid, rolled off bass and high...   what does it do actually? I thought it would be better to have higher impedance to be used with OTL amp?

Hey ! Atlast i am going to get S9...Please let me know the headphones that best suite S9....I can buy headphone of any range just don't care about my wallet :) Thankyou

Ok, so having picked up some fake ones when I was expecting real ones in a transaction (I have since received my money back, so all ends well) I figured I would post some pictures comparing the two so people can spot the fakes if they get them. The fakes are very good copies, and aside from...

Edit: Solved

Hello all,   I did a search for a listing of all limited edition cans in the past couple of years.   I didn't really find a list, more of a bunch of different thread for different phones.  So this will be a list (if you make it).   Post all that you know of.

Do you guys think these arefake? Audio Technica ATH-ESW10JPN - eBay (item 170345296715 end time Jun-19-09 07:38:26 PDT)

Someone on the forum asked me to compare the ESW10JPN to the JH13, so I decided to just share my thoughts with a wider audience. The ESW10JPN, with its rich, wood cups, is a beautiful headphone. It is very light and has a grip on the head that is just right. The supraaural design does fatigue...

I suppose the first thought that would immediately comes to your mind before recommending anything would be: "What do you listen to?" And off the bat, I'd like to say: "Don't think about it." Just consider the overall presentation in sound quality of best setup you could think of for under...

Head-Fiers,   I have had my ESW9s for 5 months now and had really liked them; before I got my Sennheiser MX980 earbuds. The earbuds provide clear and analytical/ natural/ not coloured sound with much less warmth than the ATs.    I really love the ATs for their portability, good enough...

HEllo is me again.!!! i asked you for advice buying a new headphone. and still i didnt dicide yet so im  asking you agian! During this monet i reserch headphone and listen to many of them and one that bring my heart was audio tecnica esw-10 BUt the problem is is extreamly herd to get it. So...

With the recent influx of new universals, as well as new custom monitors, it seems like IEMs have taken center stage over portables, at least as far as attention goes. Question is, have high end IEMs surpassed high end portables as far as sound quality is concerned?

Hi guys,   There seem to be threads like these for other AT's like the AD series, and I was surprised that there hasn't been one for ESW9s (ESW10s neither). Where's your love for the ESW series?   I have had my ESW9s for a about a month or so and just loved it. I never thought headphones...

hey guys, im kinda new here and just got into this new hobbie. well, i own a pair of ATH-ES7 and i recently bought an ibasso t3d amp. im using a 2nd gen 16gb ipod touch as my source. i kinda have problems telling the difference when i plug in my amp or not, it sounds exactly the same. on first...

Hello,   I've noticed a bit of distortion on Massive Attack's Angel with my current setup : S9 + ESW10 (no EQ, stock cable). It manifests itself as soon as the bass starts to fill in and sounds like a very faint buzz in the upper bass / lower mids frequencies.   I tried to know if by...

I've scoured through many of the ESW10JPN threads looking for advice on what portable DAC/amp to get for the ESW10JPN. Some say these cans don't benefit from an amp, some say if its a DAC/amp the difference is noticeable. But specific models recommendations are few and far between, at least...

I am still trying to convince myself that an amp will improve my listening experience with my ESW10 headphones but feedback has generally indicated only a small improvement. Alternatively I can focus on my ER4P IEMs: get a class D ultra portable amp, get custom moulds and 'S' them. Two...

I 've got my ATH-ESW10JPN today. I had a reservation at Fujiya-avic, Tokyo. ESW10JPN comes with a nice black pouch, a small pouch for cables is also included. The glossy lacquer finish is neat to my eyes, it is chic and classy. The lacquer is Urushi-lacquer which is a traditional...

Some time ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find the big Best Denki ("Best Electric") in the city had a dedicated high-end headphone listening table, including a Luxman P-1u, AT amps and Yamaha and other SACD players. The current round of headphones present on the table were: Denon D2000 and...

Ok, so I apologize for posting so many questions lately, but I'm really struggling with this decision. My "better half" has laid down the law and told me to cut down my headphone collection. I managed to convince her that I needed 2 headphones (she was adamant about 1). I'm going to go with 1...

What headphones do YOU usually use when watching movies?   1. make / model 2. source 3. amplification 4. comments   My movie watching rig: 1. Philips HP910 (modded) 2. XS71 sound card 3. GoVibe V5 - 9v battery 4. Good sound but a little more aggressive than I'd like for movies.

Well today was quite a bummer. I was going to enjoy some music when in the process of putting them on, one of the plastic joints snapped off.           I'm sure some epoxy might be able to hold them together, but I'm unsure of how long such a fix will last. Seeing as they were a...

does anyone have information on when the ESW10 is coming to the market. I am checking audiocubes every day at the moment. Very interested in trying these out.
