I just got the ATH-M50's after hearing them at AES and I'm very happy with them as a back-up to my Grado RS-1's for situations where I have to use closed phones. They replaced my Sony MDR-V6's that I have been using for years. Really like the bass. Hyped but fun
I am very curious about the ATH-900Ti. Does anyone own them? How do they sound compared to the AKG "house sound" (K601's)? Also how is the comfort of them, since they look to be on ear?

A few impressions on the A900Ti in the following threads:

The CK10 still needs to drop in price. q-Jays, UE 5 Pro, E500, Livewires, etc. are still better deals. It only comes with 3 pairs of silicones, they gave an honest freq. response(20-15Khz) which hurts cause it looks bad on paper, and they totally misjudged the price for a dual armature. There are very few reviews but I think that nobody is willing to shell out for them. They will be close to two hundred pretty soon. Maybe then people will take a chance on them. Wow, the CK10 have been out for about one month now and already dropped ~$100.
It is by far the most slick looking IEM though. Maybe they thought people would pay more for it based on looks.
These new AT earphones are still very new, and understandably reviews are a little bit thin on the ground. As for the ATH-CK10, it has a very specific sound signature, which I suspect many may not care for
On the other hand, the ATH-CM50 should be very worthy of consideration. Budget pricing with absolutely superb sound - I suspect that it will quickly become a hot FOTM if more people tried them. Absolutely superb bass (and I don't say this lightly), deep, punchy and well textured, nice warm mids and great highs. The only thing that bugged me was the wonky driver housing design, sorta like a cross between a canal phone and an earbud - in fact, I thought it was a rebranded Sony EX-90L, but fortunately, sounded nothing like the Sony
