I put in an order for the teaks with both teak and ebony cups about 3 weeks ago, but they're still not expected to ship until the 25th-ish because Emu is pretty busy with massdrop orders.
I've since done lots of research on the Meze 99s, but haven't found any comparisons against the Teaks, and only a couple even mentioning the Th-X00.
I hear the 99 has better soundstage and less bass than the X00, but I hear the same about the Teaks...
As for the 99 being closed vs the Emu semi-closed, it's a toss up for me.
The cable options, case, and price of the 99s are quite compelling.
Anyone have any comparisons they can share?
Part of me wants to cancel and get the 99s, but I'm pretty hyped for the Teak.
Is the EMU worth the extra $210 (incl. shipping, or rather $330 with the second set of cups too) over the 99s?
As for my music and sound signature preferences, obviously I'm looking for a fun sounding headphone.
I mostly listen to 80's, folk, indie, pop, and a bit of electronic in that order.
My current favorite heaphones are JH rosies and W30 japanese editions. Tried the 400i and ue900s and found bass in both lacking.
Usually use my dx90, but might be switching over to a V20 or x5iii in a month or two.
Thanks in advance, guys!
