What are some headphones you could wear in a social setting and still look fashionable? My nominee: the stunning Audio-Technica ATH-EW9 Any other suggestions? Do post pics if you can.

I bought these as a gift for my brother. A very kind Head-Fi'er let me have them for ~$100. However, that didn't stop me from sneaking a little audition...   And that "little audition" was enough to prompt this review.   First, the suspect:   AA battery included so that you can get a...

these caught my eye..anyone with expierence how would you rate these compared to iem not in terms of isolation but in terms of overall sound and i would be using them for rock/metal

I purchased these for my wife two years ago. She's always liked the warm sound of my ATH-A9X, so for portable use I got her the ATH-EW9, which reportedly has a very sweet, warm mid-range.   Materials & Craftsmanship The packaging is the same as other high-end Audio Technica clip-ons, which is...

Has anyone here recabled a pair of EW9s? What did you use? How successful was it? How can the cans be opened up without causing damage? Thanks in advance...

I am looking for a pair of EW9s (I need something discreet and my ENT specialist has told me to stop putting things such as IEMs in my ears...). I spotted these on Taobao: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=24679104825 It seems that they are private imports from Japan, but I can't use Google...

Posted earlier in the wrong forum...   This is sure not what I expected. I got my AT EWS9s today and have been listening for a while. My old headphones are PX100s with HD414 earpads. I'm afraid I don't like the ATs at all. More bass sure but air wise and tonally I don't think they are close...

Hi there!   I'm using a Roland R09-HR, a Roland R05 (which is pretty much the same I guess) and my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as my portable player devices. My headphones are the ATH-M50 and the EW9 from Audio Technica and the RH-200 from Roland. I'm solely using them on the go on my way to and...

Listen mostly to Japanese jPOP ballads from Nakashima, Misia, Ayaka, Yanawaraba, Chara, Chihiro, Miss Monday, JuJu, Ms. OOja, - Jazz. Some AKB48, Heavily avoid anything recent American music of almost any type from R&B to Rock, to Rap (frustrating with the exception of Swift). Not a musician or...

Just wondering for those EW9 (not ESW9) users on how to access the insides of the EW9? It seems that the foam pads are almost impossible to remove without tools because if the pads are pulled with force, its highly possible that the pads will just rip from where it is placed.   Not also sure...

Well my lil sis has been looking for sexy closed higher end (mid fi) headphones for a few months. I've given her some suggestions like AKG's, but she says it's too expensive, so I'm just going to buy something for her birthday next month. She really is looking for something sophisticated I...

Bowers & Wilkins P5's Review: My thoughts while testing them first day, right out of the box   I tested these bad boys with the following tracks, all in high quality .wav, .flac (free lossless), .ogg and high quality .mp3, followed by a description of my thoughts while listening to them from...

First of all, I am new here and I dont know right ways here, so I am sorry if I miss smth.   Since I got some money to spare I got an idea to get some good sounding headphones. Firstly I would say I want some upgrade from Senns HD595 I used to have (sold them few months ago). My primary...

Yes, its the time to mention the little woody clip-on again...mostly because I feel there is a lack of solid information about it. I stole these pictures from other sites cause I can't take good ones of my own. Besides, who cares what mine looks like ;-). Lets get some quick...

Hello.   Long time reader, new member. After reading copious amounts on the forum, I've decided to get some ESW9 headphones after having recently lost my in-ear buds. I was looking for something with great sound, comfortable + non fatiguing, portable, stylish and hopefully with at least a...

I know a lot about full sized headphones and have owned and tried many of them. Recently I've begun searching for a set of portables or in ears.... and I'm just overwhelmed by the choices I have. I'm hoping to keep this sub $150. 1. Isolation is preferred (doesn't have to be completely...

Hey there I was just surfing the net and the ATH-EW9s and ATH-EM7 GM's caught my eye. I miss my old clip-on style earphones =_= Anybody know where to get em in Toronto or Canada at a fair/reasonable price? I scoured the forums and found that they are both pretty cheap $120~ (EW9s) and...

Is it forward enough for hard rock?   I used to have the Denon D2000 but i felt the guitar sounded too distant.  I need a closed back headphone that can do it justice. 

So, I already have a pair of Sennnheiser HD465 and am in the market for something portable. I am not too fond of the comfort of in ears so I am looking for a clip on style headphones. Something that most would say that pretty solid sounding, with having a sound that balanced where nothing is too...

I was a local shop today and tried the EM7 and really digged the sound quality out it paired to my Droid 2. However, there was a few things that keep me from getting one. One was the short cord, I store has demo models, so I wasn't allowed to see in the box to see of there is an extension cord...

Hello all,   I have recently traded for a pair of ATH-EW9. I simply would like to know some simple yet effective ways of preserving that wood, while not offing the gold lettering. The only thing I've heard of is lemon oil. If that is right, then when should I apply it (probably will apply...

i've read that ESW9 are close to open in terms of sound getting in, but how are they on sound getting out? how loud can i put them without say the person next to me on a flight being able to hear? i don't have much experience with portables but if you could compare say the KSC75's or portapros...

Well, my yuin pk2's just broke so I am listening to my ksc 75's and was wondering how much better the Ath ew9's would be to the ksc's .The bass on the ksc's is pretty good with some songs so if the bass on the ew9's is even just as good I may pick up a pair. Any thoughts anyone?

Me now using Cowon iaudio 9 + Pico amp/DAC and using Shure SE535 (sometimes Audio Technica ATH-EW9 when my ears got infection!). any recommendation of upgrade? me listening to instrumental music + female vocals most of the time.

Thanks you for coming in,     I am in need of a portable headphones, I tried beyert50p and the ath esw9   The T50p was ok, but it is just not the cup of tea that i looking for , it does have really good comfort , but i can't really use it when i am walking.   The Esw9 that i got...
