Though not my latest, this is one of my worthy purchase if this year. Sony XtraBass xb30ex. Bought it at 1.7 K from a not well known website based in Mumbai. I ordered black, they informed it went out of stock. So got white.
My Soundmagic MP21 feels dull infront of them.
Very short review: As Extra Bass headphones bass over powers treble at the beginning. But after one month of use (burn in), sound feels extremely nice. Though I don't share IEMs, just to show off
I made others listen to it and their view is very positive. I have small ears, and as many reviews say, because of it's weird shape, you have to adjust it a bit to make it fit properly, and I have listened upto 4 hours continuously without any pain in my ears. Even few songs i never listen to, I now started liking those. I can clearly differentiate between different instruments. Nice sound stage, warm sound, thumping bass. Even harsh music sounds sweet. I am more than happy with this purchase, I can prevent myself from buying more headphones. *i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n536/bubusam13/DSC_0124_zpsfca2a393.jpg[/IM]

Equalizer settings to compensate treble at the beginning before burn-in. Haa haa... It produced great bass even at these

Now I can listen at normal mode in my mp3 player.[/QUOTE]
Interesting to see two thinkpads side by side. Are you a college student?
