That's my question, and I'd like to hear from Ed.8 owners out there. And no, my question does not concern whether or not it is wise to parade a $1500 headphone in public, although that is a good question as well. I'm more concerned with whether the actual physical size and weight of the Ed.8's impede their portability.
My current favorite portable headphone is the ESW9 (or 10JPN, if you are lucky enough to have one), and I don't think you would want to go much larger than that for a portable. However, the circumaural shape of the Ed.8 has the potential for more comfort and certainly delivers more isolation. But size-wise, are they quite a bit bigger than the ESW9? I'd love to hear form someone who has both.
I'm also obviously interested in a sound-signature comparison between the Ed.8 and the ESW9 or 10JPN.
Thanks!
