So i have been out for a pair of portable headphones lately and convenient enough Audio Technica recently released their new portable headphone ES10
What makes or breakes a portable headphone for me is, except audio quality which always will be first priority, is looks and isolation. I want to be able to walk around in town with headphones on me and not look like a jerk and as i hate when other people use phones which leaks or just disrespects everybody by playing through their cellphones speakers, isolations is also important.
I plan to use em with my Iphone and upcoming Zune HD mostly, though i have an Ibasso D10 which i take with me from time to time it's important it still sounds good without an amp.
These ATH-ES10 looks great in my opinion sleek, attractive but doesn't stand out to much. The matt titanium finish really works great.
But then i haven't read anything about how the sound, i have read alot of praise for ESW9 and ESW10 and as they are ES10 precursor i have big hopes for ES10.
ESW9 and 10 are also the alternatives i'm considering or foremost ESW9 because the limited ESW10 seems to be very hard to get without paying alot more. I like the wood finish on these two alot as well but of caurse ESW10 are two steps above ESW9.
So have anyone heard ES10 and maybe compared it to ESW9 and 10?
