Guys, remember i have posted about the questions on whether to get Monster Beats or Audio Technica? I just went to Jaben today and tried few models of headphone and finally able to judge myself which is more suitable for me...honestly, Monster Beats really really dissapoint me to the max...the first headphone i tried was Beats Studio which is rm1700..after that every headphone i test were better than the Beats...i tried Audio technica, AKG, Klipsch, Denon, n few others..finally i came to decide between audio technica and klipsch, audio technica has outstanding clarity while klipsch has awesome bass...but ES7 has better outlook...so im really happy with this new toy now , and the sales person in Jaben is very friendly and provide good services, i highly recommend those who going to get their headphone have a visit at Jaben...anyway, a question to ask, how to burn for 200 hours as the peole there recommend me?

Play any song for 200 hours. Play every different genre of song for better result. Make sure let your headphones rest for awhile and then keep going.

well it takes hands on approach to know that we're not lying

you can burn in by running pure sine wave, pink noise, or just playing your favorite music whenever you are not using it

ATH-Es7,what a beatiful headphone...once had it..no need another mirror anymore congrats for purchase =)

if you want something that sounds like Beats but doesn't suck like it does...get the DT770

Alright, so i just let it run for hours then have to stop it awhile? If i burn while i sleeping it will be ok? Around 8 hours..

i burned my headphone that way... non stop playing music

of course, there's like few seconds of pause after each song

however, i purposely give it a few hours rest every 100 hours or so

Wow, im new into this so feel abit heart pain letting it burn for few days long...haha...have to on max volume or just normal?

well you can leave it running at normal listening volume, or SLIGHTLY higher, but dont put max since you might damage the driver doing so

Well... i agree with you, Beats is a 'Monster'.. not everyone like 'Monster'... too much 'Monster' bass.. good for Hip hop though...

Congrats on ES7... even myself still cannot afford this one but will always in my wishlist.

Jaben is the best... their bear is the symbol for friendly and hospitality services. But not hug-able

Beats is still a ***** compared to something like at's pro 700 mk II lol

sorry to say but jaben penang's bear has been molested by me and my friends, and for resisting molestation, he was beaten up as well

LOL

Is x-108 being serious?

Burn in can be any music, but i use pink noise ^.^

Just normal will do. Max volume will spoil your headphone's driver!

grats on ur new toy..how much is the es7 ? i believe even es7 oso better than beats solo..

Well, as for me I don't purposely burn-in my headphone, I just let them burn-in while I'm listening.
Gratz on the purchase bro.

PS: x-1o8-x is a lil' perv.

Prefer M50 over ES7,but different people,different taste

we have the same taste

i bought at 650..with a small free gift...ya it even out-performed beats studio easily..although the bass is still abit lack for my taste...

hmmm..maybe u can feel more bass after burn in..

Yup, my pro700 mk2's bass was also quite loose before burn-in. But after burn-in, fwuaaah~ Tight and punchy yo.

Really? Wow den i have to continue burn in mine...i start burn since yesterday night until now...long long way to go~

got get hippo case or not ?
anyway hows the fit ? if not comfy you can try the headband mod like i did to mine

Oh u bought the headphone already?did youbtried klipsch image one?when u use your es7 can u still hear outside noise?

lols burn-in are not meant to be abused... force burn-in because of greed and wants things to go fast will not bring good results.

some good stuffs needs patience... burn-in is one of them. never force burn-in by abusing 24h nonstop burn, you'll overwork the drivers causing not so pretty sounding headphones compared to properly burnt-in headphones under given same time

Pictures？O(∩_∩)O

here u go~~
ES7

i dont know about other headphones, but mine has been burned in continuously for hundreds of hours and they still give the same sound as others ... tho i do take some precaution and keep my fan turned on just so the ambient temperature doesn't "damage" the drivers, and the can is always at listening volume which is 35% in foobar well, my own opinion

the purpose of burning in is so that the diaphragm gets to the point it should be, like breaking in new shoes lidet~

get it so i'll just burn in slowly and naturally...btw how about amplifier? i saw many people in Jaben trying so many types of amplifier, out of curious i asked the staff to take an amplifier (price rm200) for me to try but i can't feel much different as the amplifier is more to clarify and smoothens the music, and since the ES7 is already crystal clear enough for me i just hear some slight different in the background music..

is there any amplifier that can tighten the bass? it will be great for my ES7

Maybe you will need some times before you can really hear the difference with amping on your headphone because maybe you haven't really gotten used to the headphone.
IMO, you should stick with your headphone for awhile before getting an amp. And at the same time, read up on various brands and models of amps. And audition them at Jaben from time to time.

maybe it's like me, I didnt burn in, just listen, after 500 hours, i forgot what the original sound was like >.<

i purposely went to jaben to test out the difference

for ms2i, i find minor differences, such as sibilance being less harsh on a burned in unit

ES7 is very nice and worth the price. Love the clarity.

Wah need to try this es7 because the price tag same with klipsch

yaya..klipsch is totally different from es7 with its awesome bass...

Gonna try it the Klipsch One. Heard they said very nice, ES7 good in soundstage i guess ? I know their portable highest range ESW9 soundstage was like awesome !

did your es7 perform well in blocking outside sound at noise enviroment?my klipsch was abit fail in blocking outside noise.

ES7 is supra-aural headphones, which mean they wont block noise from outside as much as circumaural headphones do.

but for me i feel that it work quite well for me so far...maybe i not yet try in some really noisy environment..when i wear it at home i didnt realize my housemate entered my room and standing behind me

Added on November 13, 2011, 4:35 pmi've asked in the amplifier section and they recommend me the fiio e11 and hippo box+ that can tighten the bass of my es7...what u guys think? if still not much improvement on the bass after i have burn in for sometime then might consider buying an amp..

This post has been edited by yuan415: Nov 13 2011, 04:35 PM

Hippo box+ is good. Very tight bass and nice pairing.

If u want to add more bass can try the Hippo Box+. It will make the mids fuller and add the amount of bass when both boost and bass button are on. Fiio E11 is more neutral and not as fun sounding as Box+.

Best is to audition those brands mentioned. Unless you want to gamble on it.

For "cheap" amps, Hippo Box+ and Govibe(dont remember the name) are not bad for ES7. Cant comment on Fiio products as their sound is not my cup of tea.

hi bro
b4 u purchase
u were comparing ur es7 with which klipsch model?

This post has been edited by soonlee33: Nov 13 2011, 05:52 PM

i forgot the model dy, but is priced at 650 also, same with the es7..

Klipsch Image One, the one with remote one. RM650 retail at Jaben.

so any users of hippo box+ or other amp here can give some comments? or any other es7 users which have their ways of tightening the bass?

go try at jaben lah
i tried using my zune hd without a lod
cant notice any huge diffs

im not staying in kl la bro...went there from melaka last friday just to buy the headphone...if here got Jaben den i everyday to test

I have ES7 and still I cant say which is better. The best is to audition.
Different ears different brands.

Tested alot of 200-600 budget amps, non satisfies my ears. ES7 can be very bright on certain amps. Some can give you bass but it can also brighten it until became digitalized+sibilance. Some give you loads of bass but you might need to sacrifice the clarity and might became muddy.

I've started off with Govibe Single and then Hippo Box+. Both amps are good for new ears.

You can try JDS Labs cMoyBB which I'm using right now. You can read it out first. Its not your commercial amps.

do you find the ES7 bright? if you do, get mini^3. if you like the brightness, get cMoy.

cheap and good.

or for the sake of just want to have an amp... go for fiio E5.... it should give a bit more bass (when using bass booster) and its so freaking affordable...
(i dont know if fiio still making E5 or now they replace it with E6... )

any malaccan here using hippo box+ amp? mind to let me test?

Fiio E6 is pretty affordable, and for bass boosting it done quite a nice job for an amp of its price, still its more towards muddy bass instead of punchy one

Last time i tried e6,the improvement on the sound not realy noticeable,then i end up with e11,the bass was abit punchier than e6,but if got chance sure i will trade in my e11 with hippo box+,the bass on hippo had much more punch.

Added on November 14, 2011, 5:19 pmJust gamble get hippo box+ hehe,or mybe can start with e11,then after few week sell it&get another amp.

Just like what he says, get a Hippo Box+ and be happy. Money back guaranty on the bass enjoyment

seems most of the recommendations goes to hippo box+ itchy to buy again dy

i had one, and when i wanted to sell it off, it went sold IMMEDIATELY after my post

i saw many selling in garage sales also but all sold out..but nvm, since i already broke for this month so maybe will get it later...slowly burn in my es7 first...

the es7 is already good on it own. like noobandroid mentioned when paired with the jdslabs cmoy. really nice sound. more palette than my (was) ms-1. You still get that punch and a good bass plus snares are more tighter with it.

Pm me best price hehe

hmmm, i see that more n more people selling Fanny Wang headphone..quite similar with beats in terms of design but the review is good comparing to beats...anyone tried the headphone before? new retail selling 700++, the design not bad

Yes.. better than Beats.

Similar design because made by same person.

compare to my ES7?

ES7 design better... but sound worst....

joking only.. never try ES7.

wah just got your headphone about week ago now thinking upgrade ready bro?haha this headphone this realy poison right,i also looking forward to try this headphone.

haha..yalo..but the price also 100 more than es7 only..forgot to add this in my list when purchasing

Upgrade to Fanny Wang Over Ear ANC la... sure Beats user will jelous.

If you crave more bass, forget any amps. Just save or trade up to the ESW9. You won't regret it.

But it is not like the ES7 (bright) but it is very much more musical and thick. The clarity will not suffer though because it is pretty much crystal clear. =D

It also sounds way better than the Beats and most likely Fanny Wangs as well.

From: Friendly ex-owner or a ESW9
IMO, it's one of the best headphone ever.
Losing out only to STAX and PS1000, but that's my opinion la. Most people won't agree with me, haha!

but esw9 is not thicker like fanny wang i think.so mybe the outside noise cant be isolate much.

Added on November 20, 2011, 7:52 amthis 1 right choice,over ear..

This post has been edited by naminakata87: Nov 20 2011, 07:52 AM

It'll isolate just fine. Not like an over ear but good enough.
Plus it's lamb skin. =D

I sense polkiupine inserting poison needles about EWS9. Jk


Yes EWS9 is superb ! The soundstage mades me go mad about it, but tried Akabane's ESW10JPN, made me more crazy about Audio Technica.

Definitely!!

It is that good to me. 10 is even better and looks absolutely gorgeous!!

lamb skin? oh ic.ews9 price quiet pricey&can get over ear fanny wang already.

This post has been edited by naminakata87: Nov 23 2011, 02:17 PM

Yes lamb skin earpads and protein leather headband. African paddock wood if im not mistaken.

Looks feels and sounds superb.

Retail price is 1400

Of coa it's more exp than some cheap plastic fanny Wang.

Wow luxuriusy headphone,1400 thinking upgrade my ice le..

Dun like dat la u guys...so much poisons about esw9 n 10...im aware of both but its far over my budget la...1400 n 1900 man...forget about it

Added on November 26, 2011, 2:42 amAnyway..about the isolation i tried my es7 in the bus...not good not good..i can heard people talk clearly if they speak loud.

This post has been edited by yuan415: Nov 26 2011, 02:42 AM

Buy used la cheaper

i'd never wear my headphone out of my room, couldnt enjoy the sound outside

Wat headphone??

I also dissaponteded when i inside the bus,i tried once only,then i only use iem when go out,must upgrade& get tried at noisy envitoment when i decide to buy new headphone later,i think choose over ear or nc headphone better

again, today i went to Jaben again to buy amp for my es7...i tried hippo box+ as u guys recommended, den fiio E11, Govibe martini (around rm400+), and another brand i forgotten (also 400/500+)..all have their own good i can say...but still hippo box+ satisfied me the most...fiio is not my cup of tea i guest..den the govibe and another one produced great sound, but still the bass is not enough for me, anyway they perform very well in clarity and the details..

so the final choice is my new red colour hippo box+
get it for rm200 since i bought this ES7 from jaben not long ago..

what is your PMP ?

wat is pmp??

portable media player

bro, pics of ur new toys..

owh
