I tested these guys at my local audio store. They sound like a m50x with more bass(looks alike too) but the bass still lost to my PRO 700 MKII ANV. Definitely more comfortable then my PROs though.

  When you install the app it asks you to install the driver on your soundcard. Did it do it well ? You can check if it's ok by running "configurator" in the Equalizer APO group in your program list (i'm using win7 so didn't test on 8 or 10)
 
If you don't hear a difference is that there is something wrong.............adding +10db on 30hz does produce a difference................

 
Thanks, I rebooted again and that fixed the issue. If you or @Hawaiibadboy have a config tailored to the SZ2000s, I'd love to see it.

Yep, Equalizer APO doesn't take effect when applied to a source until after reboot.

Hi all,
 
I've currently got sony mdr xb500 over ears, source is my htc one m8, soon to trial a sony NWZE585 instead. My s639 was something I adored, but it's dead now! Anyway I was wondering if I ought to be looking at new headphones or an amp first, I'm assuming the former will provide the best value for money at first?

The subbass on the WS1100 is a thing of beauty, lingers just long enough to satisfy your ears and not bore them. The depth and impact is brilliant and definitely an upgrade over the WS99. The texture is nice and makes you feel like you could scoop the bass with an ice cream spoon and eat it. Very tactile and visceral.

How are the mids and highs compared to the ws99? I felt the ws99 had very detailed but bright highs with scooped out mids.

You felt the ws99's had bright highs? Huh!

 

[KewlMunky]

Yes. Most likely because of the scooped out midrange.

 Well you are going to need an amp for most cans with large bass output potential.
 
I would get the amp first as to evaluate the true abilities of any cans. I found the SZ in that way. If i hadn't had an amp with me I would walked away in a few seconds.
If you are not a poweruser then maybe the cans first but you'll not know how hard they hit until your amp arrives.

Would you say its a top 5 contender?
 
Hows the sound in a whole?
 
I'm about ready, but just need a little more impressions.

Bro...What....holy ****
 
 
Your move, MOJO  

 

[gikigill]

The WS1100 has the famous Audio Technica mids and restrained treble, its there when you need it but not excessive especially for me as I am sibilance prone. Definitely a top 5 contender bass though.

Never own AT gear, so don't know what the mids sound like.  But I like the restrained treble part.  Like you, I'm sensitive to sibilance and peaky treble.  
 
How's the stage on them?

 

[chillaxing]

Listening to the WS1100 and the bass definitely stands out, tight, fast and hard hitting. Even out of the Note 5, it's pretty impressive and with amping, it's definitely basshead material.

Weirdest pads I've ever seen though, very deep and comfortable but shallow on the sides.

 
 
Your right....
 

 
 
Might take away from impact?

 

[gikigill]

Nope and even if it does there's still enough impact to keep things going.
