Beautiful photos, audioKyle!
I'm tempted to buy another one,
and stick SRH840 drivers in it.
Thanks Max, I try.

Alternatively the pads are not angled properly, mine are angled slightly forward so that it follows the angle of my ears
As far as comfort I'm having some issues. Does anyone else find the pads uncomfortable? I'm pretty sure it's because of the bowl shape. Although I found a sweet spot in wearing them which is pretty comfortable.
Last time I contacted AT, the replacement part cost $7, so ask them for the part first. It's an easy fix.
What do you guys think of these as outdoor portable headphones? I'm not worried about isolation, since I've considered buying the ATH-EW9. Although I heard the EW9 despite the sexy look, don't perform efficiently due to the clip-on nature of them. I wanted wooden headphones that are portable, but still have a wooden sound signature and affordable. The result? The ESW9A (not ESW9 since I find the A versions to be cheaper).
So if you guys don't mind, I'm going to list my questions in order to make things easier if anyone feels like answering them
1. Will these survive 0 degrees celcius temperatures in outdoor conditions? (Excluding snow/rain/wind of course)
2. From a scale of 0 to 10 (0 being the worst), how's the sound isolation?
3. Are these on-ears or over ears? (Note my ears are small enough to consider the ATH-A900X's as over ears, which have 2" holes, and even the Panasonic HTX7's as over ears).
I only use mine portably...
1. I've used mine well below 0 C. If it is real cold I put up my hood over them.
2. 3 or 4. They keep sound in very well, but they will only provide limited reduction to outside noise.
3. On ears....no problems...very comfortable as long as eyeglasses aren't pinched behind the ears by the pads.
=D Woo, that's awesome. I know what I'm going to order on my next paycheque/christmas!
How comfortable are they? More comfortable than the Sony MDR-ZX100 or Sony NC6? I'm going to begin searching the web for comfort ratings.
I've only had $40 on-ear headphones, and I'm paranoid if my ears will be sore if I have something pressing against my ears over an hour. Although I bet they'd make great earmuffs though...
