After what seemed like an age (some strange processing problem on Play.com website meant my order was just waiting for three days not processing), my MDR-EX1000 arrived in my hand today
I'm currently listening to some Vangelis on my NWZ-F805 using my MDR-EX700s so it'll be interesting to hear the difference between the two IEMs. The difference as I already mentioned between the supplied EX300s and the EX700s is like night and day and I'm hoping for more of the same from the EX1000s
Will update the thread after some listening has been done and I may post a couple of pictures too :-D
Well I thought I'd refresh people's minds a little and add some new pictures of the old favourite of everyone
The box is a nice size and you can feel the quality.
Opening the box is like opening a treasure chest inside a treasure chest just hinting at what awaits inside.
When I finally saw the MDR-EX1000s I was like Po in Kung Fu Panda - Wooooooaaaahhhhhh, awesome!!!
I removed the multi coloured ear tip case to reveal the additional short cable underneath, nice
I took a closer picture of the EX1000s
I detached the EX1000s from their resting place to take a closer look.
And another colse up of one of the single drivers...
I think that's enough pictures for now, as I'm sure you all know the other item in the box is the leather carrying case which some of you dislike because it's very big, but I don't mind that because I know the EX1000s will always be well protected.
The real test of these lovley looking units is not in how they look, but how they sound and thats my next treat and that will take some time to get used to but for now I'm listening to Daft Punk's Tron Legacy then Ghost in the Shell Innocence is next.
So far they feel just as comfortable as my EX700s to wear, and what I'm hearing already is very detailed soundstage and very expressive with the right amount of oomph in the basement (geddit?) but I'll listen to some nice vocal music as well to get a feel for how they perform with all types of music, but for now I'm listening with a smile :-D
