I appreciate your view on that. I run live sound (always with heavy duty ear plugs) and play in a few bands. Also do studio work. An advantage to the DT770 scooped sound I guess could be the massive treble spike will make them not push their 'esses' so much requiring less de-essing later. Same for the ATH-M50 which is also popular for that. 

 
I don't play myself (except for DJing from time to time), but I think we're on the same page.
I also got custom earplugs when starting out doing live sound and started wear them when visiting clubs (i.e. not working there) as well... well worth the expense I think. And cheaper than a hearing aid later on
 
Thats a really interesting thought regarding ess... never occurred to me but may well be the case.

OK!  Times up!
 
What's the big secret!?!

I know they exist... my question was if that was the thing @hanselmann was referring to when he mentioned the 10 days

Astell&Kern AK T8iE. A Tesla technology in-ear headphones made in cooperation between Astell&Kern and built by us.
A&K have the lead in communication, so please excuse, that I won't comment on it on Head-Fi.

It is

Well.. okay ... guess I just expected something else 
 
But for those who dig iems, it's probably an interesting  new model.

Wow!  Those look really nice!
 
Not much of an IEM man myself, but I'll definitely check them out at some point.
 
Thanks again.

Subbed/Very happy to just learn about the DT1770 from offhand mention in another thread!
 
 
Constantly on the move, so recently traded my 770 and 1350 moving to all-IEM for compact traveling, and really regretting it, lol.  If they are somewhere in the neighborhood of a 770 and a full-size 1350 that would be ideal... was thinking of springing for some audio-technica m70x soon, but now I think I'll hold out for more 1770 impressions to trickle out

 
 
Had no idea Beyerdynamic were so controversial on head-fi... used for bedroom production and casual listening, 1350s were just a great replacement for my dead hd25, and I really enjoyed the 770, though I can see the complaints about recessed mids, the treble never really struck me as excessively spiky... also probably the most comfortable-but-secure headphones I've ever worn, which really starts to count for something after an hour or two

Hm, in-ear Tesla sounds interesting. But why cooperation with A&K?! They should launch it by themselves, paying extra price for that brand is a little bit...

Because AK helps to a company like JH audio to became a mainstream and well known worldwide for music lovers...
Before AK, they were a professional company for professionals...
 
Beyerdynamic also wants to became an audiophile mainstream ...

Wow, really?  I guess Sennheiser and Audio-Technica better get in line too, so every mainstream consumer who is going to drop $2.5k-$3.5k on their A&K DAP can finally discover Beyer, Senns, and AT

Beyer+A&K already has some history, see the Beyerdynamic A200p and the A&K version of the T5p... Still I think my in-ear selection is sufficient as I'm more into over-ears. And the more I thunk about the DT1770, the more I'm looking forward to my visit at IFA
