That is the original NW-Studio (not pro). It was originally known as ADX-SII-10001, made by Aidex and was developed by Mitsuru Takashima (former Sony engineer) and said to have input from with Masaru Ibuka (Sony co-founder). But Aidex never really did make a name for itself and was sold to 9W, and subsequently ADX-SII-10001 was rebranded as the original NW-Studio. Some NOS of ADX-SII-10001 was found in storage awhile back, which is why it starts to surface on Taobao after all these time.

p/s: you can still find NW-Studio in Japan for about the same price as ADX-SII-10001 on Taobao.

:):)

long time no see

  I think the version you have is the 9W studio pro, and the one from the Taobao link is it's predecessor, the 9W studio.

But if the pro version is not that good, then perhaps the 9w studio version will be even worse? Unless it is the case like VE Zen where some prefer the sound of the first gen hahaha



I would say that Monk+ is  better than both.

If I remember correctly, 9W studio is sort of thin sounding with a tendency towards bright treble, and 9W Studio Pro is a bassy mess with tiny soundstage.

I sold both of them quite fast...

Let them be. For a collection :wink:


I need to sell so that I can buy new stuff! I do still collect old vintage Sony and Aiwa earbuds. And clip on earphones.

Paying $100 or more for those really changed things for me. Until that point I assumed price=quality. 


Painful but important lessons...

Hmm, seems like this earbud according to ClieOS was created before Aidex went into the hands of 9W, so waondering if there is any difference in sound. Bright treble is good for me as I am almost immune to it hahahaha.

150 - the most secure choice, 500 better, but in need of an amplifier
