Hey Guys,

Today I recieved my New Headphones! They sound great and are very comfortable. First impressions are: Great High end captures more than traditional headphones. More Bass, Very Comfortable and LOUD! Unfortunately I cannot test the Remote as I only have the 2nd Gen nano.

I should have a review in the coming days!

I have included Hi rez pictures.

The bass is a bit lacking. Not bad if you adjust the eq. I have old ears and the highs are what I usually miss and these do well in that region.

I got mine at the Apple store today. Got last set. First shipment in and described as meager by employee who held mine for me.
 
hows the sound? ive heard the bass is kinda lacking...

If your a 'real' bass person then it may be lacking, However I think it's better than you may expect. I Changed my EQ settings and that improved things.

I like some extra bass and they more than satisfied me.
 
Still dont have them in stores here. Once I order them online they will show up in the stores, If I wait for them to get in stores it will take a few more weeks. :eek:
 
I am waiting for them to be in stores. I just don't want to pay shipping cost to return them if I don't like it.
 
Techguy, I noticed you're in Ontario. Did you pick them up in the Eaton Centre? If so, those are mine!!

Just kidding. I'm just finding it absolutely impossible to find these things. I'm leaving on a flight tomorrow so I was hoping to go down to the Apple store to pick them up today but it's nearly 3 pm now and they still don't have them. They sold out early last week and they still haven't gotten a new shipment. All the Apple resellers I've called don't have them either, they all say "hopefully before Christmas."

Honestly, Apple, is it that difficult to manufacture and ship some headphones? Goodness!
 
I was going to buy a pair yesterday and then today I decided to buy them, but they're sold out. Now are they any good? Rather, as the seals any good oppose to sound quality.

The Seals are Pretty Good, Not the best but they generally do the Job. If your looking for complete Sound Isolation then these aren't for you. I'd say they block out 70-80% of noise around you.
