Hi guys! Quick question, are the ES7 and ESW9 ear pads interchangeable? I think that they are, but I just wanted to be sure. Can anyone who owns BOTH confirm this please? Thanks a lot.

hi, i currently have a ESW9 and i like the headphones quite a lot. However, after wearing them for a couple of hours (usually 2:30 hours to three hours) my ears start to ache some what. When i am at home i use the AD900x so its not a problem but there are times where i am walking around campus a...

I have this brother I am trying to not convince to get Beats or Bose. Many of you understand this struggle, if not with family than with friends. I have an obligation to show my little bro there is a better place for him and his music nirvana. Unfortunately, his needs and mine are different,and...

To date I haven't heard a purer representation of "audiophile quality" sound than through my Etymonics which I bought a decade ago.   The treble is inoffensive, yet it sparkles and brings out every single detail. The full-size cans I have listened to elevate the higher frequencies to...

Hi, I'm looking for headphones for my boss. I've bought my headphones with the help of this forum in the past and I'm looking for the same help again. He enjoys Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones, Metallica, and Guns and Roses. His budget is around $120-$200.

I've tried the pleather and velour pads and both aren't very comfortable for long listening periods.    Hence I was curious to find out if there are any companies or diyers who makes custom earpads for better comfort. I don't care if it looks big and wacky, just want better comfort!  hd25 with...

[note: I'm not sure if anyone has posted about this before me]   Hey guys, Audio Technica just announced a new IEM line today and they claim that they're using a "world's first" technology known as the "Dual-Phase Push Pull Drivers". Since I can't find a thread about them here on head-fi I...

Basically what the title says... what difference is there? The ESW9A are about $50 cheaper than the ESW9 for me. I have heard that the ESW9A is just a different kind of wood, is this true? Thanks.

After using my ATH-OR7’s for about 4 years by now, they are starting to fall apart. Cable has broken twice and the leather parts are flaking. I’m therefore looking for new ones. I really liked the sound of the OR7’s. It has bright highs and deep and tight bass. I use Yamaha EPH100’s as IEMS, but...

Hi, living the UK AT seem to think we either don't like headphones  or are super rich! ES10s are £500 ($750) ESW9 and ESW11 are not available in the UK.   The 9s and 10s seem quite old now is this fast paced market, and I know the ES55 and ES7 have been replaced by newer models.   So are...

Currently have a pair of ATH-ESW9 and while I absolutely love the sound, i need something a little less visible for work. Previously owned the Klipsch X10, Westone UM2's and liked the sound, but I imagine there are possibly better options out there.   Love lush mids and quality deep bass. I...

Is there any difference between the Japanese home model and the "a" American model? I mean as far as voicing, etc. It seems they're now identical but I can't find confirmation searching the forum.

Hi Everyone,   This is a follow-up to my previous post regarding choosing in between AKG K550 and Vmoda M100. I bought both and was hoping to choose one to conclude my research for a semi-portable headphone. Unfortunately, I returned both. My requirements were:   Best sound quality I...

I've been out of the headphone game for some time now, focusing on my 2-channel speaker setup rather than headphones for the last two years. The last headphones I bought were a pair of ESW9 for $80 four months ago (audio-technica warehouse sale ftw). Though I have  been slowly but surely making...

Hey,   I was wondering which of these headphones isolate outside noise (such as on buses or in crouds) the best (please rate /10 of how well they isolate if you have heard them)? Note: I would not like on ear or IEM because i wish to use them over 8 hours and find they will get...

Hi all, Ive purchased a ATH ESW9 and hopefully it will be delivered within days. Ive done alot of reading here on the forum about the ATH ESW9 and they seem not need to be amped, but if amped they do sound even better. I have a Marantz SR7005 and want to get the best out of my new headphone...

Hi! I'm torn between these two, which one is the better one? I'm looking for fun portable headphones that are comfortable with a smooth sound. I mostly listen to metal and rock (alice in chains etc) and some pop.   Which one is better?    Regards

Hey guys,   I'm in the market for a closed, portable pair of headphones that are good for use while I'm on the train to and from work.    I've recently re-visited the ESW9 as a potential option (if you see my profile, I'm a pretty big AT fan) - but some reviews from AudioCubes from a few...

esw9s seem like one of the best portables, but i cant find any for a decent price including shipping. is $260 really the best price i can get these?? eBay - $260 http://www.adorama.com/AUATHESW9A.html - $285  amazon - $286 headroom - $300 accessoryjack - $305

  There seems to be very little talk of the Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 phones here. But to you people here who've heard them: Would I regret getting them? Are there other portable cans in the same price range ($200-$300) that I'd be better off getting? How portable are the ATH-ESW9's? Would it be...

I've owned nearly every piece of audio equipment imaginable and have begun to need a closed portable headphone as of late.  I read some complimentary reviews of the ESW9 and picked these up on the off-chance that they would change my mind regarding closed supra-aural portable headphones, a...
