Just got 'em...first impressions...
Ok, first, my setup:
PC -> Chaintech AV-710 SPFID -> Kenwood receiver (yea yea, I know, got a Zero on order).
Other Headphones: Grado SR-80 and SR-225
First bit of serious listening... I queued up one of my 'benchmark' albums, the Doors' 1967 debut. Not only one of my favorite albums, but sonically far and above just about any contemporary recording. Compared to my Grados, which I like a lot.
First thing I noticed, comfort was far and above the Grados. Detail is noticeably better... hihat for instance is more clear. In general seperation is better. Little details , like the reverberation of the snare head struck me. Oh, and unlike the Grados the kick drum is actually audible.
Don't get me wrong, I like the 225s a lot. They do electric guitar and bass very, very, well. Can't wait to hear what these are like after they've broken in, and especially once I get the Zero.
