Re: Midrange-- My experience with midrange screaming is with the Grados. So perhaps I have more tolerance. I will say there is one song that made me through my Grados off my head b/c it felt like the woman vocalist was screaming. I will listen to this song with the IMAGEs tonight and report back.
In terms of overall soundstage-- no they are no where near the 701s or the CD3000s but wide or wider than the W11JPNs-- which is wider than most closed headphones.
Hmmm... Perhaps this is a weakness. I will have to check it out. This is making me think. Can't wait to listen.
Keep in mind I was so overwhelmed by the "fun" factor that I did not really listen listen (if you will).
