Audio Technica Limited Edition ESW10

Hi,

 

I actually bought the E2 Lithium (blue & foil packaging) last week but I have not used them yet. They're not cheap, considering it's $20.40 for 4pcs.

 

Anyone knows where I can get the Eneloop chargers for a decent price? I found a quick charger for 4 and it's about $45. I don't like the idea of using the i-Qube to charge.

 

I discourage charging using iQube as the build-in charger is not so efficient. Get the Maha charger from Eastgear instead as it works better tha Eneloop charger. Thought price is slightly higher.

I will most probably go check out the Mahas after I send my really old D70 for servicing. I have people use a great deal of them for photography.

 

I'm now content with Engergizer Max Alkalines.

I know Maha charger through photography too and been using it ever since.

On a side note. I tried the ESW10 with a TUBE desktop amp. The details were sparkling and bass was very warm. I think I clocked in a min of 4 hours listening as paired with an IMOD and some sonic caps the ESW10 was great on a tube!

 

Anyone else can share their thought on a desktop pairing with the ESW10.

 

At my desk I pair it with my Yamamoto HA-02 and this is the pair that made me get the TTVJ Portable Millet Hybrid as my portable for the ESW10JPN. The pairing of tubes with the ESW10JPN has some great synergy in my opinion.

Has anyone compared the esw10 SQ with top IEM's like the ACS T1 and UE-11 Pro? Are they close?

Comparing headphone and iem is like comparing apple and orange. Both are very different.

I 2nd Cal's comments as both have different features and use. =|

 

Even against headphones it would be hard to compare the ESW10 with an OPEN can at its price range. =(

Like the never ending war between closed and open cans. Both have it's pros and cons.

Too many factors to be taken into consideration. But the ESW10 sounds good.

Whoa the response on the ES-W10 seems real good. What's stopping me is its sheer price... Its going even above the range of top end cans like K701, HD650...

But so far it the best portable cans you can get. I actually enjoy it as much as my others full size cans.

I've seen one at the classified section going for $600. If price is your concern, don't let it be. You can always get someone who's interested in the i-Qube and make full use of SE's current promo.

I agree, make full use of the promotion. But if you don't mind with the price, both the iqube and esw 10 work together fine!
