ES-P1 Flagship Edition Double Dome Dynamic with Brass Housing

I will note I am not a audiophile and do not have a deep vocabulary to describe these headphones similar to folks years and $$$ deep into their music technology. What I do know is these headphones sound amazing and are exactly what I wanted from the purchase. I currently own a set of Shure 535s and went looking for a replacement these came up as an alternative to in-ear and over-ear options. In-ear and over-ear headphones dominate the market but both of styles I personally find uncomfortable for long listening sessions. The ES-P1 headphones eliminate these discomforts and have listened to more music the last two weeks than I have in the last two years. The Shures certainly have a more complete sound profiile. Bass is stronger. The ES-P1s feel very similar in mids and highs though. Bass is more than just present with the ES-P1a but it is not as deep as the Shures. Build quality is fantastic. All CNC metal with little to no plastic. Packaging is luxurious. Extra 2.5mm cable is included along with multiple size options and filter versions. There is a leather case that fits the extra cable and a couple of small accessories. I am using a EarStudios bluetooth and it fits fine in the leather case with the extra cable. Overall I highly recommend these for movie watching, video games, high res music and great comfort. A note on support. The company is Korean based and the instructions are mostly in Korean. I emailed a question about sweating with the headphones. They answered in less than two days. Sweat is good but do not take a shower or wash them was their basic response.

I have Venture Electronics Zen 2.0, VE Sun, Moondrop Chaconne. Among other flagship earbuds, ES-P1 is my favorite.
