yep, that's kinda lose/lose

Even I would not purchase such speakers.

[Dusty Chalk]

But I thought that you thought that Speakers >>> Headphones, man! WTFOMGBBQSauce.

I picked up the ATH-ESW9 today. Out of the box I think it's better than the ES7. No one interested in the ESW9?

There's a whole thread about it, that not enough for you?

He would like a whole forum dedicated to them but I guess the single thread will do...

I confess I didn't use the search function.

Am I to be punished now?

Nahh, we're too busy bashing the noobs

Boomana is in charge of discipline.

[Elephas]

Oh, no, another spanking.

Here's the ES7 and the ESW9. The ES7 comes with a cloth pouch while the ESW9's is thicker pleather. I keep both in black zipper semi-hardshell cases.

I also got some replacement 3D Wing foam pads.

Elephas,

How many headphones do you own now? 40?

40 is for amateurs...

*looks innocent, mamma is watching*

Whatever do you mean? I only have a Bose Triport and Ultrasone 2500. These photos are Photoshopped, and my posts are just repeating stuff I've read on Head-Fi.

I might tell you the truth if you sell me a Qualia cheap. Not so cheap is OK too.

Somebody slap some sense into me, I can't stop listening to Rihanna - Umbrella!

I'm looking for Qualia too, but they are difficult to come by. How about getting the original Omega for your collection?

Dang...I only have 39.

I am enjoying mine and I have had them a while now.

No, but you should be punished for posting pictures of yet another black headphone that no-one told me about, goddamnit!

So...how are they?

Thanks, guy. I'm looking online right now for a small rose-colored whip. Nothing too heavy and with a fem touch.

I've got the SR-Omega, the Qualia is the last headphone I'm looking for.

No, but you should be punished for posting pictures of yet another black headphone that no-one told me about, goddamnit!

But they're not all black. There's reddish-colored wood there, you know. You can go for the A950LTD.

I'm burning in the ESW9 now, but it's more refined and has a larger soundstage than the ES7. Also bass is more well-integrated and not as boomy as the ES7's. Neither can compete against the full-size AT's though, but they're great for portable use.

I also like the Senn HD25-1. Both the HD25-1 and ES7 are more closed-in and congested vs. the ESW9.

I meant the ES7's, but I think I just realized those are the mirror-finished ones.

And: they should be shipping this week.

[JimP]

Elephas,

Just curious what amps are you using with your ATs, or which do you find optimal - especially with your L3000 and W5000?

[Elephas]

I'm currently using the AT-HA5000, I think it matches well with all the AT's.

Sometimes I also use the RSA Raptor.
