Someone should pair the new microshar uamp109 dac/amp with the ES7 and tell me how it sounds!!

 

[sputnikmoments]

Any suggestions on how to coil the ES7 wires to minimize tangles?

They are small, portable, have reasonable isolation, are able to be worn around my neck and most importantly don’t leak any noise! ...... FAKE ES7 HEADPHONES! WATCH OUT - http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/fak...ctures-286987/ (more links to come as I find them)

I was using this link from the first post. Yours works fine, thanks)

Ordered them a couple of hours ago! Spent a little extra on shipping so they can be here Friday, but its worth it. Anything I should absolutely know about my ES7's before I start wearing them? Any reccommendations for burning them in over the weekend? I was thinking about just putting my iTunes library on shuffle and hooking them up to my speakers, so the headphones can burn in all sorts of different music. I want to make sure especially that bass is burnt in. Is this a good or bad idea?

Also, saw the thing on the headband mod, plan on doing that as well.

So excited!

Just heard that my es7s are waiting for me at home! Headband mod for me, i wonder if I will hear a lot of difference after they are 'burned in'

Dont know about you music library, but I'm using Edifier.Speaker.Tools for that purpouse. It generates pink noise in stereo, with opposing phases on each cannel, so if you put you'r ES7 in the right position you cant hear a thing while burning-in. That's perfect for me, cause I'm using them at day time, and burning-in at nite.

Trust me, you WILL hear the difference. For me it was like: Okay, too much bass, I cant hear the music. Then after 40 hours of burn-in it became better, could hear the midrange fine now, and after approx 100 hours - idial sound for me (IMO).
Haven't tried the Blu-Tack mod yet, so i can't say anything, but here's the link - http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/b...arning-425094/

Thanks for the comments, I have to admit when I first got them I was very slightly underwhelmed- but having said that they have been playing for about 30 hours now and are growing on me loads!! Not sure if I am at blue tac stage yet...

 

[holeinmywallet]

I am contemplating on buying a set. Do these have more bass than px100? ES7 sounds as though they might have too much bass for me.

 

[earthpeople]

Can't compare with the px100, but the ES7s bass is really not too much. It has a nice presence and it's clean but I personally find myself yearning for more quantity. It's nowhere near overpowering.

 

[jageur272]

Anybody know where I can get a spare ES7 driver? I guess ATH support would be best, but I can't find anything other than a phone contact.

I just did the same, but they're in the same state so it was $58 with tax. i'm glad i saw your post because i was about to buy them from jr. it was still a good price.

recently bought the HD485 and i'm hoping these provide good contrast to those at a level above my old sr60.
