    Wow, I remember actually buying minidiscs from these guys in the '90s.

      Haha, I loved them. Wish they took off.

      We have an old Sony one and the design is still excellent.

      • Same, Sony used to make such beautiful portable MiniDisc players! Still have 2 sitting at home somewhere…

          it was Sony themselves who killed the MiniDisc though…they took too long to open it up to MP3s, in the face of CD-Rs and then MP3 players, and by that stage it was way way too late!

          they had a great format, but they killed it by being stuck in their proprietary closed system copyright-owner protectionist ways!

          (another old days MiniDisc fan here!)

        • @caprimulgus: I dont think they ever supported MP3? Even when they introduced the 1G disc with file (FAT32) support. You'ld still need to import the mp3 into their app that converts to their beloved format.

        • @mikaelkn:

          They actually did eventually support MP3 natively (as opposed to MP3 transcoding, which was a rudimentary and inadequate solution), under the Hi-MD format. But it STILL required the MP3s to be encrypted (but not transcoded) through their software!!!

          So it was still not a great solution (and came far far far too late, when the format was already effectively dead!).

  • Highly recommend these even for gaming, they have the widest soundstage out of all the IEMs I've tried in the past including SHURE/Westone/UE of the same RRP price bracket which is around $400-500.

    • yep, soundstage is great, as well as the variable bass-tuning - you can really ramp up the bass to basshead levels!

      build quality is excellent too.

    • Good to hear positive comments. I know these are well received but hearing more makes the impulse purchase a little more justified

  • If only they were wireless!

  • Do these earphones have soundstage comparable to hd800?

  • Watching

  • Aww it sold out anyway
