It's not the amount of money. My wife sees any headphone purchase beyond one pair a waste of money (even if it is my money).

Sure, I can afford it...but can I afford the constant nagging?

...we shall see...

EDIT: And top ramen is delicious. I DO live off of it. Wanna fight about it?

OK got them now

I think they are the best earplugs i have owned. OK this is the first pair of mine

The sound is great good seperation and great perspective in my opinion. Maybe they get better with some burn in but, i am satisfied great price and plugs

I know this has been asked before in this thread but since there hasn't been a satisfactory response yet, I will ask again: How will Mylar X3 compare against AT ATH-CK7? I've searched through the intraweb for this comparison and the only one I can find seems to favor towards the CK7. The CK7 itself doesn't seem too popular around here.

I come from the PX100 if it helps.

CK7 owner chiming in: great little phone! Light, comfortable, really nice detailed, clear SQ but still with enough bass punch.

And I'll be picking up the X3 in a few days, once I get over a smacked-up hip (bikes eh?! lol), so may have a few vs impressions later (also going up against JBL Ref 220s, so should be interesting)...

Ah, thanks a lot, epithetless and steviebee. I guess it now boils down to the sonic signature difference and since I come from PX100, I would want something that sounds different than that.

@steviebee
I would look forward to that comparison.

No problem. As far as which diverges from the PX100 signature the most, I'd say CK7 takes the prize.


EDIT: @steviebee, me too.

I used them on a plane for about 7 hours total and I thought they were fine. I've never used noise canceling headphones so I have no reference point. But I could hear everything fine so I think the isolation is good enough.

did u hav to jack up the volume compared to normal listening and by how much?
and if u used the inflight entertainment system, how many bars were u using (quarter/half etc)?

Well normally on my DAP I listen at 16-18/30 bars on the volume level. On the plane I did listen a little louder at 20/30. Those two bars make a pretty big difference and it just brought out the details a little more.

I used the in-flight system for a bit to watch a portion of a movie, and I was curious how the phones would sound while watching a movie (sounded good btw). Anyways, I didn't notice any volume meter for the system (i was on an old 757) so I couldn't tell you how high it was set to.

I think you'd be fine using these on a plane. Hopefully they are comfortable for long periods of time for you.

i just them this morning, they made freddy mercury bring tears to my eyes,

coming from a pair of CX300, i can only say one word, amazing....

just one thing, are the silicon tips suppose it itch inside the ear ?

 

[hrsy]

I'm experiencing a similar problem, coming from CX300s myself. They aren't as comfortable as the CX300s and can be a bit itchy.
