On that note... how do the Tenore compare with the IM70 (if anyone owns them both)? I'm looking more at the mid & treble comparison as I know the IM70's bass is probably better just from reviews.

  Yeah, probably listen to DannyBai LOL
 
Lot of hyperbole being thrown around this thread, Danny seems like one of the more grounded and experienced users that frequents here

Anyone in here likes classic Gospel music like I do?
 
 

 

[Pastapipo]

Does anybody have the vsd1s and the GR07be? I am searching for the vsd1s but with subbass instead of midbass and a wide soundstage. Was wondering if the gr07be is the awnser. Or does someone have another suggestion without the need for me to sell my kidney.

The Edwin Hawkins singers in that video sound awesome!!! I just recieved my re700s, and I never heard how natural and sweet their vocals sounded until I wore these. I love gospel music, but unfortunately, I never heard of the classics.
 
I heard modern gospel music of jesus, but mostly rock ones. This one, however, is even better than that rock song I heard. I'll get it up in a min...
 
Thanks eric, this happy day just got better with that song. 

 
Pics of the re700 will soon come. I can tell you that the build is phenomenal, the design is awesome, and the bass is firm as heck, never heard anything like it except the ws99s. The mids are not the center of attention anymore, but still pretty awesome, and the highs are just as relaxing as the es700s. It has more detail however..
 

 
Not the rock I was talking about, but Robert Valdes is good imo. I love his compassionate and rough voice.

What is re700?

What is re700?

It's audio technica's latest headphone release in japan, that somehow didn't make it to the advertisements. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
I wish the highs were more forward though...other than that, pretty balanced headphone. Females are awesome. Now that I'm done stating only vague comments, I'm going to burn them in pretty well and compare them to the es700 and ws99s.
 
Also, the pads are comfy, didn't expect that from at, the headband padding is disappointing, unfortunately.

  Have you (or anyone here) found any IEMs that have better vocals than the Tenore? None of my IEMs nor headphones can compete.

I AGREE that the Tenores, after extensive burn in (200+hrs) have equsuite vocals, better than the Bassios. the XBA3 are also delightful but with
slightly less body.  In order to clarify the abilities of the whole Zero Audio lineup, i am hoping to do a review of the Tenores vs Bassios (which i have)
and the new Carbon Singulo 510s (on their way to me from Japan) and loaned 500s from Zero Audio and the new Doppios.  the Crbon Singulo and
Doppios have new technology in them are Zero Audios most current model.  nobody has head the 510s yet (i.e. now reviews or feedback available
anywhere i can google), so this will be an exciting audio discovery adventure.  stay tuned......and meanwhile enjoy this Tenores, they are superfine for
the money.....
 
my OM IEP hybrids are breaking in nicely and show great promise for high end listening...........and the Pistons are delightful and keep improving with
more burn in.   But Zero Audio has shown a real talent for tuning their earphones that is world class and I'm super excited about comparing their
whole line up with each other, especially their new offerings......

I feel as though audio technica, zero audio, and kef should work together, but that would be pretty bad. Maybe a collaboration on one headphone, but it's highly unlikely. Thank you for sharing your input drblue!
 
Can't wait for your carbo singolo! I don't know why, but I have a feeling that they'll have the same amount of bass as the doppios.
 
Please make the comparison when you can, take your time! we'll be waiting for which ZA phone would be the best tuned for a human's preference.

looking forward to your comments on these new ATH phones.  i have the old 700s which are delightful and quite a bargain for their sound quality. my w1000s are one of my reference cans in high end headphone listening.

thanks for the support, people! You are all awesome folks! The DUNU are awesome, but there seems to be that sibilance in the upper register...which i chalk up to the TWFK drivers.

I need a new pair of cans. My Roland's are getting up in age, and I really want something outstanding and detailed, with good bass, but mid-fi priced. Not willing to drop $200 bones on cans.

I thought $200 was Mid-Fi pricing. I was under the impression it went something like this $100< (Low-Fi) $100-$300 (Mid-Fi) $300-$600 (Hi-Fi) >$600 (Summit-Fi)

you're pretty accurate with that pricing, but I'm looking at lower mid-fi. I'd pay between $125-150 for a pair of good cans. I've got to save pennies for the Fostex or ROCKETS.

I just lost the opportunity to pick up some JVC FXC51 for $20.00. Supposedly has better clarity and highs than the Piston? Oh well. Probably for the better? I must say that my Sennheiser CX150 are not a bad budget IEM. Pretty tight and detailed bass, and solid mids. Treble a bit rolled off though.
