They've always had game.  Not many pay attention to them.  


Yeah that copy cat game. LoL Seems it's mostly just rebranded OEM stuff, not sure it's really their own innovations or inventions though, since most of the top audio brands just out source all their production to China, which makes it too easy to just "borrow" that tech and rehash it if you knowhatimeng.

Hi everyone! Would anyone be willing to compare the Audio Technica AD900x to the Audio Technica CKN70? Especially in terms of price/performance, which is better?  I know comparing IEMs to full-sized headphones may seem unfair, but I would like to see how much the CKN70s punch above their price.
 
Waiting to get the AD900X. Still burning in the CKN70's. Only 50 hours now, therefore not certified to fully comment, however... on my head now playing cowboy junkies. I was expecting not to like these but boy was I wrong. I think I now love IEMS, like a lighting quick nimble ninja main-vein shot to audio nirvana, pure isolation, music in to the heart of your brain, quite amazing and out right shocking given their diminutive and non-assuming physical presence. Money not wasted, "punch"ing above their price tag speedbagging with exemplary pace rhthym and timing.

GR07 was in development for more than three years, only the driver bio-cellulose technology was patented from Sony, so I don't think that is a copy cat of any other product. I don't know about the rest, though.

The following is just a very quick assessment of the CKS1000 that someone asked me about in my inbox. After more than 100 hours on this IEM:


Well I changed my signature and right now I have them right below the ASG-2 (base on how I remember the Aurisonics sounding since I don't have my new pair yet).

It is above the FXZ series in clarity and sound stage (although those are still very good sound IEMs to me too). Drums are very natural sounding and the mids are lush and thick. Vocals are clear, but the dual chambers system just gives a really lovely layered fantastic sound to the music.

Okay, I'm seeing some good prices for the WS99. How similar of different will it be from my A900x (which I'm immensely enjoying)? Is it worth it to have both? Or what about the ES700? Your thoughts please?

Dsnuts provided some impressions regarding the WS99 and the A900X in the WS99 thread here.

I don't have the AD900s. I have the A900x. And I still need more comparisons. lol

Right! It's hard not to get confused with their naming conventions!
