Luxury Portable

 

These are phenomenal headphones, especially for portables. Worth every penny. They are good without an amp, but I have them team with a Fiio E11 which really brings out the bass and mids. If I wear them out and about - people are always stopping me to...

1) wood driver housings ; 2) lambskin earpads and protein leather headband ; 3) butter-smooth midrange ; 4) tight bass ; 5) comfort level after break in ; 6) quality of build materials

1) highs roll off a bit ; 2) plastic holding housings to band seems cheap and breakable ; 3) cost for a portable headphone ; 4) leather pouch for carrying - a hard case to protect these would beauties would be better

Great Cans

 

Make sure you give these headphones time to burn in, about 40 hours worth of listening. It's true, they get better over time. I couple the headphones to a Headroom Total Airhead portable amplifier. No complaints, the two work together well. The...

My wallet doesn't allow me to be a complete audiophile but I am willing to spend a respectable amount on a good pair of headphones. First off, read the reviews, though not super popular or well-known, the ESW9A do get the proper respect. I agree with...

Price is cheaper on other websites like A....zon but I needed them next day for a trip. The ones on A...zon are sold by Beach Camera and may not have been delivered on time. Shop around

Very good sound effect and quality. Perhaps the only problem is that you should take good care of it.

Great portable headphones!

 

I upgraded to these from AT-ES7 headphones and the ATH-ESW9A\'s are much better in terms of comfort. I can wear these for hours without feeling the pinch on the ears (unlike the AT-ES7). For portable headphones the sound is great and doesn\'t require...
