Seems to be the session for new earbuds as words are **** PT25 will be released very soon.

...and Audio-Technica just announced ATH-CM2000Ti, priced > USD$480. Now that makes TM9 feels positively cheap.

Is it an enhancement from PT15? Meaning it will superseed PT15 and pricing wise it will be thereabouts of PT15?

Still a few days before release, no official price has been announced yet. But it will most certainly be more expensive than PT15.

That made me really excited! I can't wait to go to e-earphones to give the CM200Ti a try! The shell does look a little big though, it has a 15.4mm driver (which I guess is standard size but...)

Well, the A2DC connector will limit the availability of cable rolling with our existing cable. They are coming with 2.5mm and 4.4mm balanced cable though.
The CM700 isn't really my type of sound. I hope that they bring those magic mids of their headphones to this little buds.

Cool to see ATH back in the high end earbud game! Didn't CM7TI use to cost a lot when it was still sold? It must have been close to the price of CM2000TI.

Both CM7 and CM700 are great but I find newer earbuds, mainly from smaller makers, to be far superior.

i only ever tried the CM700. didn't like it very much, it has an odd nasally mid tone and light bass. i hope the new one can compete with the current earbuds

Last time around when Audio Technica tried to add another member to the ATH-CM series that is the ATH-CM707, it was kind of a disappointment. I hope AT can do better this time around but I won't hold my breath over it.
