Excited about the H50. Should be interesting. I would imagine it will be somewhere between the EST50 and the H40. Maybe a combination of the two for sound tuning.
Recently discovered something unexpected with the H40s. I was looking for more isolation and managed to squeeze on some tips I use on my ER2XRs, I think they are Future Sonics Earfills small. Anyways, they did certainly improve isolation as you'd expect, but what I didn't expect was an improvement to everything across the board! You have to deal with the fact that they are more intrusive, still comfortable for me to be honest, but you are rewarded in spades across the range. I honestly cannot believe the difference they have made.
Apologies for the rubbish phone picture, but this is what they look like, the extra clarity they have added is insane. I'd recommend this to anyone with a pair.

Which of the two do you prefer? Why?So I have been swamped with work and not able to get any quality time with the EST50 but now that I have I must say I am quite impressed by it... it's a much refined beast over the H40 but that was to be expected with the benefits of EST.
I think the DD / BA / EST formula seems to be a winning combination, if you've read my Tansio Mirai Land review you know how much I loved it and the EST50 is in the same sweet affordable yet high performing bracket. We're reaching levels of refinement and performance in this bracket that is simply unheard of and that's refreshing given the insane price trend in the upper segment. This is undoubtedly the best value for money you'll get these days.
I need more time with EST50 but let me just say when someone like me with plenty of TOTL around gets a smile on its face upon first listen it's always a good signAlso, reviewing this baby will be fun times! The tuning is right up my alley of fun and playful with excellent fundamentals. This is going to be an interesting shootout with the TSMR Land as well...

Mind sharing the link. Thanks...
No joy in the amazon.uk site
Yeah, unfortunately I think it was amazon.uk that I picked these up but that was a while ago now!
If the 50 is anything like the 40 count me out. I not a fan or recessed mids.They are just not good and I own them.
Interesting, I don't perceive the mids as recessed and I'm someone who demands good mid presence. I think they're brilliant in their price bracket. What would be your choice instead?
