So the treble driver is carbon nanotube and the bass driver is carbon diaphragm. Excellent! I already have a feeling this will be my premier headphone (blowing my A900X away - which I love). There will no need for me to buy the WS99. Brass with a silver cable. I definitely don't need to repurchase the FXZ200. I can be satisfied with my FXZ100 and the SZ200. I'm willing to be that the price drops down quickly from $350 and some change. This looks to be my dream headphone! I'm excited!

By the way, I don't care what the graphs say, the CKS1000 is the best sounding universal IEM I own right now. I have over 100 hours on it now, and the instrument separation and placement is just astonishing! It has great width and depth (back and forth) within the soundstage. The bass lives up to its name of "solid." Actually there's not too much or too little bass, it's just perfect and clean. Backing vocals are behind the lead vocals. I don't know if it's the driver they chose or this chamber system, but I have heard anything this good in a universal (especially a dynamic) accept for maybe the ASG-2. I'm still waiting to hear that again. And I still have love for my FXZ100 (it keeps getting better and better), but the CKS1000 still outpaces it. My advice would be to stop listening to those who comment on earphones/headphones just based on graphs, but who haven't actually heard the product. Sure, I will concede that a a FR can give a piece of the picture (sometimes), but it definitely can't give the whole picture until you've heard it yourself. Happy listening!

Lucky you! If they were under $200 (as opposed to close to $400) I might be tempted. So, I'll be living vicariously and enviously through you!

You have that WS99 that I still want to hear, waynes world, but I'm probably not going to buy it now that this double driver full-size cnt JVC headphone is coming out. I knew my JVC boys would could swinging back after AT started whupping their tails. lol

If you're really nice eric, I'll consider a trade

 
Seriously, if they are any better than the 99's, they will be spectacular.

waynes world,
 
The CKS1000 is not universal standard for best sounding natural drums (displacing the GR07). Natural sounding, robust, three-dimensional, and full-sounding glorious drums and percussion instruments.

 LOL Trade for the SZ200 (that I don't own yet?) ... What a pal! lol. Thinking what do I have that you could possibly want? Hmmm?

There, that's better!

  And yes, the GR07BE's are great, but the 1000's are simply more of everything of what you said above.

The FXZ200/100 are good (very good) with drums, but a bit streaky depending on the recording. The CKS1000 is consistent and never let's you down. The drums never become over-bloated.

 

[sfwalcer]

Damn that was a nasty back stabbing, didn't mean to kill ya' but just to wound you enough so I can steal those off your hands, if they end up being cold and dead, I'll still take them, NO MERCY!!!

Has anyone here heard JBL speakers? When it comes to speakers they are my favorite brand, and I'd be curious to hear headphones that have a similar sound signature. Anyone know of any?

 
JBL has gone through many phases like most companies. If you can tell us which JBL, that may help.
