Are the pads thicker than the m50s? They look fat and comfy.

 

[Bark Snarly]

They look thicker and much higher quality too. Probably a lot softer and more comfortable.

Did sound signature good for rock/metal genre music ? Can anyone please compare these headphone to sony MDR-1A ? 
 
BTW the red one is just perfect.

About the same, quite comfortable.

Not sure about that, I don't listen to rock and metal. IMHO transient, speed, and attack, are good. Though not as fast as HD800 or T1, but definitely not in the category of slow headphones.  Transient, speed, and attack are probably about the same as M50.
 
What I notice so far, MSR7 is quite picky with amplifier matching.  For example, I don't really like it when paired with ifi Micro iDSD, but I like it a lot when paired with Centrance DACport.  Not about which DAC + Amp is better, both are excellent DAC + Amp, but both have a very different sound signature. And it is happen that DACport matches MSR7 much better than Micro iDSD.

Aren't the HD800 and T1 open headphones?

Subbed. I plan on getting the CKR9 in January and these seem like a good compliment!

 

[Random Guy]

All I can think when I look at this is, Sony MDR 1R, even the earpads look identical.
 
For those who tried this how much do they isolate (comparisons against headphones such as Sony MDR 1R, Logitech ue6000, sennheiser momentum over ear, beyerdynamic t5p will be much appreciated)?
 
Also how much can people hear what your listening too?

 

[earfonia]

  Aren't the HD800 and T1 open headphones? 

 
Yes, but speed and transient have nothing to do with open or closed design.  For Imaging, yes, open and closed are different.

That's new to me, my mistake. Thanks earfonia.

No worry buddy

 

[rfs830]

I cant wait for these to come out.  Been wanting a good pair of headphones.  Had the Ath - M50 and the Vmoda m80 but wanted to step up to something else.  Wanted to say with Audio technica as I liked the m50.  These look nice.

Thanks pal!
 
I'm also awaiting the release of the fx1100 you posted in the discovery thread. I sure hope it's worth the $500!
 
Either way, these are fun times in the audio world. Just need some rockets, havi b6, and a sony z7/Pandora Hope VI to complete the year.

No problem!
 
I hope that the FX1100 will live up to its price too, but the FX850 is already so good that I have no desire of upgrading lol.
 
Yeah, fun times definitely. For me, it's the ESW9LTD and CKR9LTD that will complete the year. Two weeks can't come soon enough!
