Long time lurker here.  Just wanted to give a heads up that beachcamera has the ESW9A's for $199 and if you buy on eBay with BCB that brings the price down to $183 shipped.  Best price I've seen for new ESW9A's from an authorized dealer.

So, I have finally decided after many helpful suggestions and threads on this board to two head phones the ESW9A and the ES10.    For ESW9A the price I found was 225. For ES10 the price I found was 370.   Is the ES10 higher price justified? I will be running unamped out of my iphone 3gs...

Both interest me.  Not sure which I would like. Anyone have direct comparisons to each other?  Wonder if anyone else is wondering the same thing.   I loved the T1 & HD650, didnt really love the k701 or the HD600. if anyone has some quick thoughts between those.

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...

Hello Headfiers,    My sister will be on a work travel to the uk she liked so much my ESW9s that she is willing to buy her a set. I know there are lots of fake versions of theses cans, so I wonder if one could recommend me somewhere to buy a guaranteed legit pair in the UK.   She'll be...

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...

My girlfriends dog made some nice bite marks on my ESW9s.  They still work fine but the nice look they once had now seems a little cheap.  Is there any way to replace the wooden cups?  If not is anyone out there looking for a nice sounding, unique looking set of phones?   Bad picture I...

Hi there, this is my first post to head-fi. I've recently begun researching to buy some nice headphones, and have currently narrowed it down to the HD25 and ESW9. I just got my first instrument, a Korg DW8000, which has led me to want some nice headphones for my screwing around pleasure. I'll...

I'm getting my hands on a ibasso d10 amp and I would like Some good cans to match them with. I like my bass and listen to a lot of heavy metal rock and dance music. Looking into denon d2000 ultrasone hfi 2400 and beyer dt990/600 Needs to be able to keep in my backpack

Are you satisfied with the sound that you get straight out of your ipod, mp3 player and computer?   Do you think that the sound would be better if you added in an amp?   I know ipods etc have amps in them, but for £20 you can get a FiiO amp and attach that to your ipod or laptop and get...

I have a thread in the headphones section http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/499742/advice-on-next-player-and-headphone-purchase and one member kindly suggested I post this question in this section.   Which combination should I choose and why? At the moment I am leaning towards Cowon...

Does such a thing exist?   I'm in the market for something in the $100-250 range. I'd be using it almost exclusively for rock music. Gaming and movies are not concerns.   I recently went through a rather long and drawn-out hunt for speakers, and ultimately concluded that Klipsch best...

Somehow they seem to be getting sold off more frequently these days. Every headphone forum, local or overseas.   Maybe they're not really keepers after all...   I used to think the ESW9 will be one of my true loves, but in the end, I started having more complains with the supra-aural...

For the past two months or so I have been researching headphones and still cannot figure out what to get.  I am going to college and need Closed headphones so that I can be quiet when my roommate wants me to be.  I'd like to stay under $300, and would like to avoid getting an amp if I do not...

          I am new to the head-fi scene and am looking into buying a new set of headphones after my most recent pair of skullcandys broke down. I originally was looking for a new pair of SC's but after looking around I decided to up my investment and get a true set of audiophile headphones. The...

Hello fellow head-fiers! I remember some discussions here about possible fake ESW-9s. While there certainly are many ES-7 knock-offs, there was some doubt that it economically makes sense to build fake ESW-9s due to the wooden bowls. I thought that, too, until I purchased on a small Swiss...

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...

So tragedy of tragedies, I was listening to some music when my roommate wanted to talk to me and, when I went to remove my headphones the right cup snapped off from the headband!! It's a mostly clean break, almost directly underneath where it says 'right', and everything still works (except for...

This is sure not what I expected. I got my AT EWS9s today and have been listening for a while. My old headphones are PX100s with HD414 earpads. I'm afraid I don't like the ATs at all. More bass sure but air wise and tonally I don't think they are close to the PX100s. What's my problem? Bad ears...

Hello everyone, I'm new here to Head Fi and the audiophile world in general. :) Lately I've been sick of the bad quality of my Apple earbuds so for a late Christmas present I'm deciding to spoil myself with some good cans.    My budget is $200-300, the most I will go for is $400 but no...

Yesterday I saw for the first time some Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 fakes hit the streets. These are in fact very easy to detect, they are not wood at all! The ear cups are wood grain imprinted plastic and the ear pads are poor and do not look at all like the real ear pads. The wood grain on the...
