Hey guys, after doing a few hours of research on what headphones I want to get, I decided on the Audio Technica ATH-ESW9 (looks played a big factor for me haha). Because I live in Canada, it was hard to find a place to buy them, but I seem to have found a seller on ebay.ca (the seller is...

Hi,   I've been looking for a pair of headphones that are not too big, but still deliver good sound quality. My main issue is with the width of the driver. I've tried out some WeSC headphones, since they are quite thin, but the sound was simply horrific.   Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

I picked up some esw9 headphones off ebay. The seller triple assured me they were authentic, has his own stereo shop. I just wanted to double check on here and see if you guys could authenticate them. The cups look to me to be too red. The sound was horrible out of the box but after about 12hrs...

  I just recently purchased these little guys and wanted to give my opinion of them. I do have to say I am pleasantly surprised. Considering the mixed reviews on these I did not know what to expect.I thought they would sound very anemic and not be worth the $121.00 I spent for them. Let me...

Hey guys I was wondering how the ESW9 stood up to today's best $200 IEMs in terms of sound quality.

Hello guys and girls...   Last year I bought an Audio Technica ESW9 from Beach Camera, through amazon.com I have been a previous owner of ESW9s and could confirm they are legit, mainly by woodcup texture and driver colour...   Thing is that about some weeks ago I started to sense the...

As the title says, i was looking for a pair of closed and detailed earphones, analytical it's the most appropriate term in my opinion.. so, 150$-200$. No amp and in combo with a cowon d2+. No matter if i'm gonna equalize them. Thanks. Also, i live in europe... i prefeer an european store.

Okay, I'm relatively new to the area of hi-fi audio and whatnot, so I want to ask people more knowledgeable than I am... My dilemma... I currently have about $300 (maybe a teeny bit more) to spend on a great set of cans that will go with my iPod. And yes, I know that the iPod isn't the...

All,   I have been researching the subject of buying an amp for a very long time.    I still have ATH-ESW9s and Sennheiser MX980s playing out of a Sony X-1060 as my portable setup, will probably be gettnig HD25-1(II) to see if I like them more than the ESW9s some time in the future too...
