What'd you expect anyways? ESW10JPN?

None of major news magazines do -- and, unfortunately, this doesn't just apply to headphones.

That clearly show how little knowledge they have of headphones...

If we're talking about the ESW9 / ESW10JPN as the Head-Fi pick, maybe they do know a thing or two...

Looks like Bose has some catching up to do.

That is a heck of a performance recommendation, "they sound awesome", so clinical and exacting... It is interesting that they seemed have selected these because of the "built-in hi-fi mike and ControlTalk" rather than the actual or perceived sound quality. Strangely, this recommendation from Peter Ha and Time Magazine does not convince me that they are any good...

Speechless, I am. Expected, this result was.

When I travel on business, the best part of my look is the headstrap that says beats by Dr. Dre. I also carry a briefcase that says bag by snoop dogg.

. . . and this writer at Time Magazine apparently carries a bag "by d*#che bag."

Haha! That's a rather astute comment, West726.

The only surprise is that it was not Bose. After all, I have never seen an ad for Monster in Time. I expected a straight up ad-placement-for-good-review transaction. I guess Time has a little more editorial integrity than, say Stereophile.

 

[tennisplyr3]

Didn't Jude do a review on these, saying that the sound was pretty good, despite the Dr. Dre label?

 

[Pangaea]

This version just came out, like in Nov. Has anyone here besides the guy at Time actually listened to this particular Headphone.
