ojnihs Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Have you heard both? I have i've heard the hd600, but not the esw10. i'm in the market for a esw9a, and if they're anything as good as the esw10, then it looks like i'm in for a treat.

ojnihs Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 They're not as good but I prefer them. all i know is that i'm not paying the asking price for an esw10. i sold off the rest of my cans to finance the esw9a price, but i won't go anything above that.

grawk Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Then it depends on your taste . I don't think the ESW9 is hands down better htan the HD600s well amplified, but I preferred them. I do think the ESW10 straight out of my ipod was better than any senn I've tried out of my m3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinp6301 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 fracking awesome. Sounds great unamped and better amped. Right now, I'm using it just with a 5G ipod and I have no complaints at all. I'm thinking of selling all my amps and other headphones and getting the 10 if its that much better then the 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asr Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Btw I'm seriously considering re-cabling the ESW10s in the near future. Are the APS V3s a worthwhile upgrade from the current APS portable? Do you reckon re-cabling will seriously impact the collector's value (if any) of the ESW10s? I've heard straight from the source that something called the Mini V3 is in the works, so you might want to wait for that... I know I am, I've long been wanting to get a longer cable for my ATH-ES7 because it's just too damn short! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losconquistador Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Highly doubtful the cable will do anything worth losing the portability (and value) of stock. The thing is, the ESW10s will be used mainly in a home and office setting and currently with my ES7s for office use, I'm finding the cable annoyingly short (not to mention it feels rather fragile). Think another ft of cable would be just right. No, duet cable, not esw10 cable. Duet cable is a big help, if for nothing more than decluttering. Blue Jeans Cables makes a duet cable, too I believe. Thanks for the heads up, I can't find the Duet cable anywhere on the BJC site though. Is it a custom job? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 totally sold out at bluetinDamn! Thanks for the heads-up on this, I need to hurry up and get around to getting myself a pair of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losconquistador Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah tell me about it.. ended up paying 120 AUD more than i would have if i had only pulled the trigger on Mon/Tues.. they were really selling them cheap (cheaper than pricejapan if you factor the fees) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I used the Micro$oft Live 25% off deal that was so hot at the time these came out, and got a $128 refund on my ESW10JPN, so in the end it was like $384. One of my few safe investments... To the cable question - I don't know enough about the new APS portable cable, but I'm waiting to see how portable the cable will really be before I make the jump. I think Lil'night or someone like that did an APS cable of some sort to their ESW10 and he loves the sound but doesn't like the bulk and weight of the cable. I wont like that either.

penger Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I can never seem to find EWS10's through MSFT live search... I must be incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losconquistador Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've heard about the Live deal but unfortunately it only applies in the US. Got mine for about $550 shipped. Still beats paying $600 at AC Re the cable - Yeah I was only considering the portable APS, ~5 ft of mini cable shouldn't be too bulky.

Fungi Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 We'd be ESW10+MS-2i buddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losconquistador Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 That's assuming my MS-2i stays around long enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungi Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yeah, I haven't actually really compared the two... but I could! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losconquistador Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I dunno.. sometimes I find myself enjoying the ES7 out of my iPhone at the office more than the MS-2i out of the Duet at home.. doesn't bode well for it's future with the ESW10 on the way unless of course, better amping makes a HUGE difference with the Alessandro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penger Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I had the MS-2i connected to a Gilmore Lite at one point and liked my HD650 more. I also tried all those comfort tricks and the MS-2i just irritated my ears like no other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losconquistador Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 The 10s have finally arrived!!! Sounds pretty good straight out of the iPhone, can't wait to plug it into the Duet when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penger Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Got mine today too. Sound great... might have to sell my A900Ti's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
