How is the sound compared to TUSQ? I'm looking for the warmest sound with the best sustain. I don't like bright high tones.

HAve nvere used TUSQ pins on this guitar, but these pins were a bit warmer than the stock Martin pins. I bought them because they looked better on this particular guitar than the stock ones.

I have never used Tusq, so I can't be of any help. I have tried the Martin ebonys on my recording king, and I can't tell any difference from the factory pins, but that could be different if someone else was listening. I can tell you that the Martin pins are very high quality, and the accuracy of manufacture is very, very nice. rf

If you go with the Tusq, there will be more sustain there. Warmer sound I would check out a Planet Waves Ebony wood w/pearl inlay set which we also have. They are 19.99 . If you would like to order that you can call the store at 856-384-2725 and I can manually place the order for you.

I have a 2004 Martin D-1. I "upgraded" from the original endpin set to this "ebony" set. The difference can be heard in the "temperature" of tone- certainly warmer. I don't see your sustain diminishing in any way if you were to use these ends. Best wishes.

The sound is slightly warmer. The ebony bridge pins do add some nice texture, but new strings make a more noticeable difference. The pins are gorgeous and do add a little but not much. I would spend money on an upgraded nut for a bigger difference.

Yes. I've listened to all and love it for everything. To be honest, with a tweak from any eq, it sounds amazing.

I'm a fingerstyle player on a cedartop Masterbilt acoustic. The sound projection is fantastic - louder, more full, more umph, and I like the tone a lot better than regular old 80/20 bronze. I've been playing for almost 20 years and I feel cheated for not having purchased Elixirs earlier. Still rocking the set I bought 6 months ago and they sound great. I have noticed some of the nano web coming off where I pick, but it doesn't seem to affect the sound. In the past I have always used Daddario's custom lights, but will never buy them again. Elixir all the way.

Looking at it now, I don't find any oriental sounds. Other sounds over all are excellent. A few months after purchas I played a Yamaha psr950. The voices blew away anything I've ever heard except the actual instrument. It's 800 more money , but if you're future proofing it's the one. Also don't know if it has oriental voices sorry

I use the K10's for a live band frequently. the keyboard sound is clear and crisp. You get enough depth from those low notes as well. Fantastic choice

hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you. I personally own the coppers and i like them better. not to assume you are Indian, but if you are: indian music will def sound better on the pro coppers. The coppers have a wide sound stage (they still have plenty of bass that you can feel) vs. the golds. I personally don't like all my music blocked out by to much bass. I love the coppers and i would highly recommend them for overall music. But all you want is just bass then go gold. Also remember before you return either of them, i recommend a 50 hour burn in period (that really helps to bring out the music).

Very personal thing..... Phosphor Bronze are not as bright sounding as the Bronze.... So i prefer less of bright chiming string(Phosphor Bronze). You may want to consider buying one of each... playing them over your next 2 string changes. If you do a lot of finger style playing, you may prefer the bronze. Hope this help!!

The Shures are good but can be a bit overpriced at times. The GTD G-787H has been good so far and once the eq is set properly, it is very clear and dynamic.

Im not familiar with Teton or Seagull but in compartison to Fender or Yamaha Taylors sound is more resonant and unmuffled. I prefer Taylor overall.

Answering with the caveat that everyone is different, what sounds clear and airy to one person may sound over-bright and fatiguing to another. If you can, listen to both before you buy. To me, the se846 sounds much better than the se535 -- I'm not a bass-head, but I like the punch the se846's driver gives the lows. The mids are solid and well-articulated while the high's are smoothed out just enough to take the edge off of them (I listen with the blue "balanced" filters in). To me, the se535 sounds ok bordering on muddy for the lows, decent mids, and with ok highs bordering on tinny. I mentioned the filters -- the se846 comes with a set of three you can remove and replace to suit your ears or music: white "bright", blue "balanced", and black "warm". Bright shifts the response towards the highs (for more analytical listeners), warm shifts the response towards the lows (for the bass-heads). With the se535, you just get the factory tuning. Hope this helps, and happy listening :)

The strings do just fine and produce a good sound, although every uke is a little different so you can never be sure if they'll be good. I'd suggest trying them and seeing how you like them, and if the sound doesn't work for you then pick up some Aquila strings.

TERMINATORS are better Bass and all but the Duals look amazing the only real question is how often do you look into your trunk to look at your sub box if you have a hachback the duals would be my personal choice (I did) but if you want better LOUDER Bass go for the MTX

I recently put this in my GS Mini after using Taylor's ES-Go up which was alright. My guitar tech suggested the K&K Wow, Much better tone and volume. And you still have that passive pu quality Good luck!

"Warm" is relative of course, and since you used that term I know you aren't looking for Beats-style boom. At least I think I know that. And we're talking about portable, closed headphones: no such beast is going to be tremendously warm; I'd say these skew a little in that direction-- how's that? If you're listening to deep electronica they won't be anything like listening to a pair of Aude'ze fed by a tube amp, but they give decent bass that is much tighter for rock, electric blues, jazz & etc. than the aforementioned Beats or many other portables.

Well I just blasted Mastodons "Iron Tusk" next to my my wife. She was not bothered but could hear the tense signature epic styling of thier dueling guitars and power jazz drumming..I tried toning it down to my normal volume and the it became less obvious. So I suppose the answer lies in bothered..? For me the bother is in not being able to hear the full depth of the music I love because of poor speaker fidelity and mix (typically too treble or bass..). To this I add the low quality of MP3. Vinyl and Pono are the future and these comfortable cool Bluetooth headphones are amazing!

I love the sound of Fidelios but find them heavy for running/gym. For that I use Klipsh S4i which are lighter and sound almost as good.
