- I got these last week (Brand new, sealed), and I have been using them religiously (Closed to 50-75 hours).   - I notice that the lettering that says "MDR-EX1000" and "JAPAN" in white imprint is fading out.       Dammit!  is that also happening to your pair? Can anyone who owns...

I own these monitors and was wondering if anyone else noticed that these two monitors sound almost exactly the same? I have both of them burned-in  about 100 hours of white noise. I brought the 500s a few weeks before the 1000s and I was very impressed with the sound quality of the 500s. The...

IMPORTANT NOTICE The EX1000 in my hands are purchased from the PRC. It is claimed to be the Hong Kong version, which is simply the Japanese version with Simplified Chinese in place of the Kana. However, there is a great chance that this is what they call "water goods", which is a product that...

Hi All,   Been a little while since posting in here, as I am pretty happy with my setup...   I am currently running the Sony NWZ-X1000 (Clear Bass+1 and top end treble +1) via an LOD to a Graham Slee Voyager, which - to these ears make the ATs sing oh so sweetly, I can barely fault the...

Hi I'm thinking about this headphones and I want to know a little more about some things before go...my music preferences are indie rock,punk,noise rock experimental and some electronic and pop...so I need good bass and impact, I've read lot of good things about this headphones I'm using a pair...

I'm quite content with the highs of Triple Fi 10 but the constant pushing of the phones into my ear for a good seal and to prevent loss of bass with the slightest move of my jaws, I'm considering other EIM's. Thanks

which has the best enjoyable bass??

From the opinions I have seen on the site, the lettering on the Sony MDR EX-1000 rubs off pretty easily. As my pair is arriving I was wondering if a simple use of Clearcoat would solve the problem. Obviously I will be masking the earphones so that only the certain area will be sprayed with a...

I've bee really considering new iems. I currently have non monitor imo (beats tour, old bose in ears, and some old vibe duos) but was looking to upgrade to something like sony mdr ex1000. I was interested because of the whopping 16mm drives and have herd great things about the bass. Should I...

Hi!   I´m reading about Sony MDR-EX1000 and SM3, wich are some of the best earphones at this moment. If you have tried both of them, I want to ask what do you think about this: Sony MDR-EX1000 or Earsonics SM3?   Also, if you have tried the Sony MDR-EX600, do you think that they are...

EDIT: I will be doing only a review for the UM3X as I no longer have it on my person. However, I will still be able to compare the EX1000 and CK100 before my EX1000 goes bye-bye. And finally, there will be an addition to this thread later this week... ;)   For whatever reason, I haven't...

So I purchased the Sony MDR EX-1000s about a couple of months ago on that Amazon sale. Its been a couple of months and hundreds of hours in college listening to them, and honestly compared to my LCD-2s, they don't hold a candle to them in any department. I remember the TripleFi's and RE0s even...

I have been in this hobby for just over 6mnths. My first purchase was the W4s, then the JVC 51s(lost), Sony ex310  to try out the fit before buying a pair of ex1000. My intentions were to buy the ex1000s, but a few weeks ago bought the red 535s with a Baldur mk2 cable for less than the retail...

Between the westone 4 and mdr ex1000, I decided to go with ex1000. I am searching for the best deal for ex1000. If you know any trustworthy site or seller, please tell me! But I really want the warranty because it is quite expensive iem's. Thanks!

Hi everyone!   I was wondering if buying the GR10 would be worth the money and would I be experience a significant difference in listening. I listen to all types of music from Trance, Indie Dance, to Hip hop and acoustic guitar artist like Tommy Emmanuel.   I really don't want to blow 4...

I've done so much searching and reading and researching and I just can't decide which one of these to get!   My first set of proper in ear phones were Sonys. I remember when I got them, they were mid range price. (can't remember the exact model). Put on a song I was very familiar with and...

ok guys so i ordered some of these... before christmas actually and they should be here monday after some serious delays, i got them at a good price i think at £200 because the box was damaged hence the price. im just unsure if theres anything i should keep my eye on, i know lower grade sony's...

ok guys so my EX-1000 arrived today and i thought id share my thoughts about these IEM's and compare them directly to the Sennheiser IE8 and shure se535.   first things first.   Design and Fit:   My immediate thoughts upon opening the earphones up was these things look stunning and...

  Has anyone bought MDR-EX1000 from Beach Audio? They are listed for $311 which is way below its normal price, $500. I emailed Beach Audio and they told me they are an authorized seller of Sony but Sony is saying they are not. I still want to try if they are not fakes which i highly doubt they...

Currently, I only listen to my FX700s and EX1000s.  I have sold off everything else because I found myself not using anything but these two IEMs.  I have had the FX700s for some time now and love them; they have been my favorite IEM for quite some time now.  The EX1000 is the only IEM that I...

Hi:   Do you guys think it is worth about $200 extra compared with EX1000 and EX600.     http://www.provantage.com/sony-mdrex1000~7SNYE10J.htm   http://www.provantage.com/sony-mdrex600~7SNYE0WX.htm     And as above price, is there any chance a fake one?     Thanks  

Dear members,   I've just ordered my new Sony MDR-EX1000 (my previous iems was Sennheiser CX980). I used to listen to music on my laptop Sony Vaio or iPhone 4s or Nokia Lumia 800. But, after reading alot of threads here I found out that it's better to buy music player like Sana Clip+ and...

I have Sony MDR-EX1000 for a week and I have a strong feeling of a very interesting and impressive sound stage. I had no hi-end earphones before (just Apple's earphones, and $200 Sennheiser's earphones) and when I began to listen to ex1000 I discovered a soundstage in iems for the first time...

I own a pair of EX700LP's and have enjoyed them for awhile. Last time I deployed I accidently smashed one of them with my coffin rack on the ship and it shattered all plastic on the right earphone. It still works but is slighty more 'airy' and less bass than the left. Time for upgrade! I almost...
