Cost is 17290 yen ($155, yeah, steep). That includes 1000 yen for ex1000 plugs they have at hand.
 
I got the earhook style as I thought that would be better, but with the additional bulk, the earhook protrudes out too much and touches my head making wear a little tricky. My advice would be to get the non earhook version. It would got straight up but you could still wrap the cable around your ear pretty easily I would think.

Did anyone pick up the ELECOM EHP-GB1000ABK to try yet ?  Looking at these Elecoms, or finally picking up the Ray Audio RA01s.

I think there are some non-basshead oriented impressions of the new grand bass models recently in The Discovery Thread if that helps.

Thanks, I dug up a near-price Elecom with impressions on that thread, but that member mentioned the Grand Bass one briefly so I PM'd him.

I'm looking at the new Denon AH-C820 with its dual 11.5 mm drivers and 250 mw handling, the Sony ex800st, or the cardas A8 as my nexty. Has anyone heard the new denon or the cardas A8? The cardas get great reviews especially for its bass. The denon are too new. We already know what the Sony can do.

I had a chance to demo AH-C820 last week. What would you like to know?

I grabbed some of the KZ Star tips that are so popular. They fit fine on Sony style IEMs but somehow manage to make all the sub frequencies disappear. Slapped my good ol Spiral Dots or Sony hybrid tips back on and the bass came right back.

I don't post often in this thread, because I've found what I was looking for. Or so I thought. I have some 64Audio U8's with the ADEL S10 modules. Reading in the 64Audio thread, someone mentioned the APEX M20's added bass. So I purchased some. I would say it's a 50% increase in bass with the APEX modules. Keep it in mind.:grinning:

At least 2 of us have. I think they are bassy not quite basshead unless pushed. With amping they start to punch but are softer on attack and impact with weaker sources. Good phones with a nice midrange and a good amount of treble to go with the bass. Stage and bass will bloom with good clean power.

Then, they approach ASG 2.0 glory at 1/6 the price."
 
I've decided to put my pair up for sale since I am not going to use them much. Check my sig if anyone wants to try :)
 
 
@talan7 & @lelutas , care to share you findings with the rest of the class?? Heard some Denons and keeping it to yourselves

I borrowed the Denons from warrior1975. Neither he nor I were impressed by them. They had bass and played really loud but just din't sound refined to me. We couldn't put our finger on it, just wasn't impressed.

Sounds similar to how I'm feeling about the JVC 99x's so far good bass extension but kind of soft hitting, they can def take some EQ but I haven't done much yet..
