Let me also post my small review of the BA-100:
This is my first review, so please, keep it in mind while reading it
Overall impression: Great product, high quality production from good materials and great sound with large stage and crisp clear highs and some smaller in bass and mid-bass.
I am using it with my desktop PC sound blaster card and with smartphone for music and audio books listening. I am a bass and hard rock lover so may be - for people that mostly listening vocal or classical it would be great just right away out of the box, but I am compensating basses with Foobar2000 plugin on PC or by equalizer adjustments when needed on my smartphone.
Compare to BA-100 with Sony MDR 7550 (I know – different categories and design.. but anyway.. )
Pros:
- Much more comfortable and lightweight design;
- Cable is more flexible and easy to use;
- Less bulky profile;
- On some tracks BA-100 sounds to me more clear than Sony’s!
Cons:
- Lack of sound details in the mid-bass and basses;
If you are planning to use it with something more professional sound oriented, like AK-100 or AK-120 players I would prefer my Sony MDR-7550, but in most cases it is a good competitor for this great price!
Update after few weeks of using:
It looks like it burned in and is much better now in bass - quick and more detailed now - stage is wider for me - could hear clear every instrument and vocal melismas!
