Indeed..."adopted a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating to improve the high-frequency characteristics have a high hardness close to diamond. It has achieved a high-resolution reproduction of a wide range of bandwidth." Sounds like the approach and effect of the carbon nanotubes which did work in the same manner for their high definition campaign though maybe JVC never really did master the treble control or smoothness back then.
 
Sounds like the culmination of their work so far. I'm sure they did the work with the CKS77X where they brought those mids forward and sounds like the DLC will bring treble, probably more than even in my CKR9 LTD(CKR9 had a bit more but the LTD is more refined, if a bit more polite). The early reports of the CKS1100 balance are most likely accurate as the "Solid Bass" should be balanced with up front mids and the "improved high frequency characteristics" of the DLC.
 
If the CKS1100 is not a bigger sounding, lower reaching, more impactful 9 LTD it will be a bit of a fail for me. 9LTD is not that bright or treble biased at all and with that new housing and venting they really need to pull off a good 3D stage here. I expect a bit bit different and better in certain ways and to be happy spending $98 more than the LTD. We'll see pretty soon. They are better looking

@jant71
Nice

  Thanks for information. I also like that colour scheme more. 99$ for A73 SQ is very good deal! Unfortunately, they don`t seem to offer shipping outside USA

In here it is sold for ~77€ but no idea about shipping cost to EU: http://www.biccamera.com.e.lj.hp.transer.com/bc/disp/CSfGoodsPage_001.jsp?GOODS_NO=3228744

Thanks for the find! Really didn't do more than use the image which was from elsewhere. Cheaper, cooler blue Fidue phones with $12 flat shipping is nice and hopefully continues with future models so I'll keep it bookmarked.  Wonder what the little sports earphone is as it is another OEM...http://store-us.make.dmm.com/q-music-qe10-bk/

I've had the Sennheiser Amperiors for a few weeks now. They are awesome. Good review from Tyll at Innerfidelity here.
 
Anyway, refurbished units are currently on sale for $90 here. No brainer deal.

The Amperiors are a really nice set of on ear cans, use them often for Dog Walk.

And you probably don't get nearly as many funny looks as when you wear your H1K's out on the doggie walks lol!

They are actually quite comfortable and look good, things I can't say for many "better" headphones!

Indeed they do!
 

 
Edit: Oops, you're not talking about the H1K's, you're talking about the Amperiors - my bad!

Yup. Same housings as the NarMoo W1M/B2M. Wonder if they use the same drivers.

 

[nick n]

Hard to say. Octone had some hand assembled /matched driver ones prior to this. Other than that I have no idea.
It's impossible to get below the surface marketing layer.
 
Fairly brief plus translated  review but something nonetheless.

I bought the Bette i.Valux hybrid IEM relying on the review I read here.  I bought both the 8mm and 10mm.  But I'm puzzled if my 8mm is faulty or not. The 8mm has NO BASS!!!
I have burnt-in both for more than 100 hours.  While I quite like the 10mm, mildly V shape with fun character, but I'm disappointed with the 8mm due to the severely lacking of bass. Is it normal that this 8mm is severely lacking in bass?
 
Both has nice smooth and detailed mids and treble, excellent quality of mids and highs at this price point. But the 8mm bass is missing.
I plan to show the measurement result to the seller and to refund the 8mm if it is suspected faulty.
 
Here is some measurement I did on both. Each driver I did 2 measurements. You can see below that the Red & Blue graphs for Bette 10mm hybrid is mildly V shape, exactly like what I perceived.  While the Green and Light Blue graphs are for the Bette 8mm, it is showing exactly what I hear, extreme bass roll off starting from the mids.
