Just read over 50 pages catching up to this thread :S.

So Audio Tehcnica's fancy pants buds are out, and no-one has heard them?!

An expensive little package showed up from Indonesia a couple days ago. The painful burn in period starts. Though I must say, I'm not overly impressed straight out of the box. Sure, better than my Monk+, but the burn in has to work miracles for what I paid. For now my Fostex X00 Ebony are still on my head.

.

I’m quite certain to get the ATH cm2000ti. I’m waitin/searching for a good deal though.

Instead of buying parts to fit them together, Audio Technica has the technology and the tradition for earbuds. In the past, they produced the TOTL cm7ti, when most other didn’t produce higend earbuds.

The new CM2000ti has premium parts( especially the driver) that can’t be found in other products. The star grounding is also appealing to me.

I just wish Sony, aiwa, and Panasonic will do a comeback for high end earbuds.

Anyone try the ShoonTH ESEP-01BLE, my wife likes them and I am curious how good they are.

I found one review on here for the regular version.

Did you mean that your wife has them already and likes them or did you mean that she is interested in gettting it?

I saw the review of Toneking's planar IEM. I wonder if they are planning to make some planar buds too.

Today I found the FAAEAL Z-sound and didn't have any doubt pulling the trigger. The price was way too cheap, only $5 incl shipping. The shape reminds me of EB2
The FAAEAL Z-Sound has been around for several months but haven't drawn much attention. There was a positive review on facebook but wasn't much comparison between Z-sound and different models (Datura, Iris, ...)

uhoh... I originally assumed you meant this one..the one that the review was talking about...

I actually have the FAAEAL Z-sound sitting here on my desk. My husband bought one and was listening to it one night while I was listening to my EB2 and because of the similar (same?) shape he wanted me to listen to the Z-sound. He said it was sounding really good to him at the time and wondered what I would think. I have not gotten around to trying it yet. Oops. Too many other things have arrived since then that demanded my time. Plus sometimes life gets in the way...

I have a pair of these arriving from @seanc6441 tomorrow I think (would be today but there's no deliveries on account of it being a bank holiday) - you didn't have any issues with yours right?

We are the unluckiest guys from this thread, we should be rewarded, lol

My EB2 has now few days of burning but no sign of a single changement. Sound is totally muffled, undetailed, much less enjoyable than my first EB2 which has issue. I would say it sounds like 15% of EBX with this second attempt..
I will give up very shortly to keep burning them as it seems useless
I'm now afraid asking to Jim a third pair to finally have a good working EB2 pair.

Nope don't worry my pair sound right, very detailed and no driver issues. Seems like some are getting bad pairs which is unfortunate :/

How about ask him if there's something wrong with the production or ask them to test before packaging.

Mine are definitely not muffled and have no imbalance (I ordered them at Oct 11).

If you wait a couple of weeks can you get it at the 11/11 price?
