randerson3024 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Anyone heard these things? I have some 9's, which even with all their coloration and funky bass, can sound good at times (with my EAR HP4 or Raptor). I put in a bid on an auction not thinking I would have a chance to win, and now I may. Quote
deepak Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Edition 9 + Raptor, is that like shit + shit cancels each other out and = good I hope you do lose the auction, because it's reported the Edition 9 and 7 are the same. Quote
Icarium Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Yeah or even that 7s are slightly worse than 9s. 7s are pretty much the most unsought after of the multi thousand dollar headphones. Quote

I fucked up! Thank god for my electrostacics. Life woiuld be meaningless without Omegas and HE 90's (and a big ole' fuckin' pair of Maggies at home!). Quote

You're right. The ED 9's were a distraction for about a week. I'm back on 'stats now. Quote
postjack Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 7s are pretty much the most unsought after of the multi thousand dollar headphones. A dubious distinction indeed. Quote
n_maher Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 A dubious distinction indeed. Kinda strikes me like winning a stinkiest turd contest. You won, sure, but it's still poop. Quote
Sam Haine Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Just post 'em for sale on the "other" site, I'm sure they'll be gone in no time. Quote
Icarium Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I mean who knows. Maybe in 5 years 7s will be the new King. Swings in this game are hard to predict... but honestly I'd be very surprised if ED9s/7s ever gain the cult status that L3000s/R10s/HE90 have. Quote

Swings in this game are hard to predict... but honestly I'd be very surprised if ED9s/7s ever gain the cult status that L3000s/R10s/HE90 have. Anything is possible on HF. Just look at some of the crap that has been popular over the years... Quote

With the way trends work I have no doubt that at some point the ED9s will become a mega FOTM. Quote
Duggeh Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Frankly, its a good thing if the focus and money is on the E7/E9, it pulls market enthusiasm away from other, more worthy players, lowering the going rate. Edition 7 is the best headphone ever made tbh. Even if supermansears says the HF-1 is better. Quote
Icarium Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 Well I mean the ed7s have been out of production for at least a couple of years now... if it were going to start rising in price it should have done it by now. If like 2-3 people started mega hype threads going then maybe it will get sought out but... Quote

Akabeth Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 So this is where all the head-fi'ers went...? I actually made a thread about a stock Ed7 vs my ALO Ed9. Portable Showdown: Ultrasone Edition 7 vs ALO Edition 9 [impressions] They are practically identical, with a couple very slight differences. Possibly because due to recabling on mine. Quote
Icarium Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 Yeah cus the predator is THE shit haven't you heard? Quote
GPH Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 only when used with my patented fast forward burn in. That's BS, I did an A/B comparison between standard pink noise and your FF burner at 4X speed and pink noise gave me more extended highs and a blacker background. Quote
Elephas Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 So this is where all the head-fi'ers went...? Haha, you've found the Supremus Forum. Welcome. Quote
n_maher Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 Haha, you've found the Supremus Forum. Welcome. Jude probably isn't going to think that name is cute. Of course, he's a member too. Quote

One shouldn't even be comparing the L3000 and Edition 9 (vomit) in the same sentence. Quote
spritzer Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 Jude probably isn't going to think that name is cute. Of course, he's a member too. He may not like it but this is the true high end forum as we don't care about bling gold screws and demand internal pictures. Quote
GPH Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 I see Head-fi as the poor man's Head-case. Quote
