After re-reading your post, you are correct. We probably are a small group when it comes to listening to music on the go, but if some of my friends and co-workers are any indication, the numbers are growing.

Watch out there Nanaoha. Whats this shit about the older generation dude. I'm an old fart (54 and still rock'n) and all of my cans are portable. I stumbled into this portable craze at the age of 53 and went apeshit the last year. Wife just shakes her head and frowns but who gives a shit. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

I may have a witty name but I have no wit.

shitty shit shit shit shit shitty shit

Is this a example of senility?

Maybe some people may right in bringing up an age issue.

Yesterday, I got a albeit brief chance with the ESW9, and I walked away very underwhelmed. The sound definitely was closer to the ES7 than the other AT woodies. For $300, I expect more sound.

The ESW9s are great for acoustic music and vocals. I would not think they are so good with congested music, heavy on the distortion and hard rock like sounds.

I agree with slwiser's comments. Anything more complicated than acoustic or vocals, you'll get a glob of mess. Unless you really want a portable woody, I'd go with the ES7 instead.

Hehe, no hard feelings. I was just somewhat confused and wasn't sure if I said anything offensive. *slaps self*

But it very good for those particular sounds; i.e., vocals and acoustics.
