House of Marley Stir it Up On Ear Headphones

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

I am a commuter and I recently bought the B&W C5, sadly for my ears, they didn't make the cut, and I can't be walking around with the open backed big ol' Q701's I have at home, so im looking for an On-Ear design that has a nice isolation.So there's been a lot of debate going on with these cans, since they're quite new, few people have reviewed them thoroughly. Both Internet audiophiles Steve Guttenberg, and Tyll Hertsens disagree regarding their sound, only agreeing in their build quality and marketing strategy. Here are their reviews:

I want to know if some of you heard these cans already or have them, to have a more accurate opinion on them. They seem really nice but I don't want to spend money on something I won't like.

Which one agreed with your evaluation of the C5?

I don't remember seeing the Audiophiliac's review, or yours before I bought them, I just thought they were going to be as good as the P5. But I wasn't referring to the debate on the B&W, Instead on the debate on the Stir it Up. The C5 was a mistake I'm not willing to commit twice. So I need to inform myself better this time... Plus the isolation on the C5 isn't as good as the one I had on my TripleFi's, and I thought changing from armature speakers to dynamic was better regarding IEM's but I think the way to go is AS... Only the really high end dynamic IEM's are somewhat better that the AS... But we're missing the point... STIR IT UP!

They're way rolled off in the highs.
