[size=10pt]Agree. I never heard about them until I read your review. Plus, that ridiculous cheap price really helped; I would not even give them chance if I was not able to get them for such a low price. [/size]

[size=10pt]That sucks! I was hoping that Eskuche 33i will be another sleepers, I really like they looks. Oh well…[/size]

[size=10pt]Well out of the box they have somewhat slightly distorted treble, but after initial burn in they sound a little bit clearer to me than Koss or Sennheiser. Probably because of slight V curve( as you said) while PX100-ii had more mids; it sounds to me like Kassette have blacker background.[/size]
[size=10pt]Also, the bass (and maybe mid-bass) on Kassette feels more solid and impactful than on other two pairs.[/size]
[size=10pt]And they have much better cable than either Koss or Sennheiser, especially Sennheiser.[/size]

[size=10pt]I know that is the quite hard to get all those headphones for review, but do you have a possibility to review new JVC HA-S500 in the next roundup? Apparently they are quite popular in the forum at the moment, and after having pleasure to listen to JVC S650 for the last week I think I am becoming a big JVC fan. [/size]
Wow, I'm really glad someone finally grabbed those at that price. They had some (in Red) on Amazon a few days ago for $13 and I posted that in the deal alert thread, but they're gone. Right now there are a few there in White for about $20 + S/H. It really is an underrated headphone and will probably never have the following of something like the JVC HA-S160 because of the obscure brand name and relative lack of availability. Also, I've found the other models from Eskuche to be very mediocre, so it's a nice surprise that their entry-level model is so good. I can't say that it's better than the PX-100 II in any regard, but it's certainly right up there with the PortaPro.

In what ways do you find them "better" than the Koss or Sennheiser? I'd love to know...

By the way, the new roundup is still a few weeks away at best (see post below)
