Hey all,
I just got the Audio Technical ESW9s and was so very much looking forward to a new level of sound quality. My previous headphones were Philips TR 55LXs. Never heard of them? They were 60 bucks and very durable but nothing anybody cared about. Well, I got the ESW9s a day ago and was underwhelmed. I sat with them both and listened, and the EWS9 did have overall better clarity, precision and presence, but not by a whole lot. I spent 250 on these guys and I am seriously considering taking them back. I really want to like them, and would like to try the ES10s since they tend to be related higher on many hifi sites, but am also curious about the AKG 550s. I could totally live with what I have, and I LOVE the wood cups so much, but for what I paid I'm not terribly enthusiastic. Any thoughts? Im actually quite torn.
