I guess I only hinted at it saying that it made my UM1 sound crappy
It really has great sound for me, although I'm not a bass head. It has plenty of bass as long as I get a good seal, very nice mids and highs and not at all harsh. Most important, it sounds great at low SPL levels. Isolation is better than my UM1, not hard to do, but not as good as my im716 with Shure black olives. Foam tips would be nice for times I need a lot of isolation. I wish the post was smaller so I could easily get the Shure tips on them.
I only have 3 gripes
- The wind noise.
- The comfort when using them for a long period. During pollen season, I may have comfort issues using them at all. This is a problem I've had with all of the IEMs I've tried that go straight in your ear
- The design that makes it awkward to but the cables over your ear. Putting the cable over your ear eliminates most cable microphonics. I don't understand why IEM manufacturers design their product in a way that makes this awkward. I realize not everyone likes to do it, so the ideal would be a design that allows the IEM to be used either way.
