As long as they sound better than an ATH-ANC7, HD25-1, SR-60 or HFI-700, and as good as a D2000 I'm good. Wait a minute, maybe I coulda just got the ESW9...





...Nah

It's more like 74 days. 60 goes by, then you actually request for the money to be sent, which it then is after 14 more days.

10JPNs are much better than D2000s. They are far more accurate and clean. I'm not sure the D2000 really isolates much better either, though its been a while since I had a pair.

I will be getting my first iPod this Christmas, so do you all think that the ESW10 should be my first pair of headphones?


I think anything would look like jumping to someone so indecisive

If money is not a factor, then they are a good choice, since they dont need an amp to be enjoyed; they will sound great straight from the ipod.

I usually use my iMod and a Portaphile or an SR-71, but last night I spent 3 hours listening to Candlebox (first album), Sevendust - Animosity, and Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue, at incredibly potent volumes, out of my Meridian G08 into my Blue Circle Audio SBH headphone amp, using Siltech IC's and Golden Reference PC's and the output improved exponentially over portable equipment.
These babies hold their own against the big boys. I was extremely pleased. The soundstage was considerably smaller than my R-10's, closer to my HP2's, but the detail, bass and clarity was impressive.

But then again, for that money, they should be.

Distributors have stock , but inventories are running low. Excellent resale value down the road.

I guess one way to look at it is that I am so indecisive, however, 6 months ago these headphones were not available. The flip side to this is that good things come to those who wait. I'm still not ready to pull the trigger for some reason.

Hehehe, keep waiting and you'll miss the chance

I guess that if you haven't purchased any phones in six months is for you already own some that you really like, or that you're not that interested in listening to music using headphones. What I can assure you is that it doesn't matter how much you wait for your right cans, they won't be perfect

I have exactly the same thing, for some reason I refuse to believe that the 10s are worth the money in difference of sound quality compared to the 9s.
Also the quality of the phones...the plastic parts and the idea that the nice lacquer will get scratched easily...ouch.

I am starting to think these may be true giant-killers (against full sized cans such as K701, D2000, HD600 -well amped) as I start to like them more and more. I wish I had a Zana Deux to see how they measure up to good amping though.

nope. In fact, these are genuinely be very good. When I'm at home, I'm reaching for ESW10 just as much as I reach for AD2Ks. Not to mention that these are substantially better than ESW9s in all aspects - and these are not even fully burned in!

That does sound interesting indeed.... Time's ticking...
Should I stick to my 9s and get a portable amp orrrr, sell the 9s and get the 10s in stead...
Choices, bah.
