Default Times (UK) reviews some IEMs

A view from the mainstream I suppose:

I didn't read it very carefully, but I'll say Times UK has done a relatively good job on the review. For that, kudos to the writer.

Just saw this review myself, and I didn't think a great deal of it. It had a fairly limited selection, ommitting some of the best known and regarded IEMs and I didn't agree with most of what was said.

The Denon AH-C551's are described as having "polished treble" but I found them shrill, fatiguing and grainy, while the Sennheiser CX95 are described as having "light bass" but I thought they had fairly deep and rich bass, with better clarity and overall sound than that provided by the C551s.

I guess opinions are like @rseholes ... we've alll got one.
