I prefer real music. For some reason I like music vs pink noise and have tried it many times.

Seriously Im not sure if I can actually hear any difference though...I think I might burn it with pink noise when im sleeping and music when im away...since I have to put it on full volume... Wont that actually BURN the headphone? I mean how about if the fuse breaks...if theres any...

I highly suggest against putting a headphone at max volume for prolonged periods of time I think the accepted value was a little higher then normal listening volume?

 

[Feather225]

Im actually putting it below 80%...its too loud and blasting...

hi, anyone know which japanese website to get the esw10 for the lowest price? as long as it ships within japan i am fine as a friend staying there will pick it up.

I wasn't going to say anything before I let the ESW10JPNs burn in (and I'm still not going to at length)... but the 1st day, I was underwhelmed. But tonight, I put on the new Animal Collective LP on the TT and plugged the ESW10s in the Leben. All I have to say for now is that I have to get up to go to work in 5 hrs, but I just want to keep listening. These headphones aren't going to be your panacea, I can easily think of other headphones that do soundstaging better, bass better, yadi yadi yada. But there's something to these phones. VERY responsive to what's playing on the disk or LP, kind of makes you feel like a kid again, listening to music in the dark... more later, guys...

Excellent. Can't wait to hear more impressions!

kakaku.com has reviews (if you know Japanese) and says how much the headphones are going on various websites. Here is what they have on the ESW10s.

I'm really liking my ESW10JPNs, they sound great and make for very good earwarmers in the brutal cold weather. But, does anyone also think that the ESW10s are slightly too forward with vocals?

I'm sorry if i had missed it but exactly how limited are the ESW10s?

1000 in japan, 500 for the rest of the world

They might be a little more forward but I still find them quite natural sounding. I am glad I picked up a pair. They sure are purty (pretty for those who don't come from the south of the US). :^)

I have been using them all the time vs my Ed. 9 but I have to admit, they don't seal out outside sounds at all. Still they can't be heard so they are good when you don't want someone mad at you because you can't here them.

I think they're as good as any headphones in their niche. Smallish portable headphones that sound good right out of an ipod, or with a portable amp. They're great for travelling, on an airplane, in a hotel room, etc. If you don't want to invest in a big rig, they're a great endpoint, as well.

Are the ESW10s foldable? I'm looking on the back of my box and it states that "foldable headphones are good for portability". So that's leading me to conclude that the ESW10s are foldable, but I don't know how to fold them, other than swivel ear pieces
