I'm trialling a several pairs of iems at the moment, one of which being the Shure se420. I'm an iem newbie btw.
Whilst there is plenty to commend these phones, there are a couple of big problems. I don't know if this is because they need burning in, or maybe I'm not fitting them correctly.
1) Sibilant and "splashy" treble. They sound like cannot handle treble energy correctly, but this is surprising for a product of this price.
2) Drums and some vocals have a "boxy" sound. Can't put my finger on it but they don't sound natural to me.
Any advice about burning in or fitting them correctly? Or is the above just a characteristic of se420s? I'm running them amped from my Rega cd player.
