New Head-Fier
Yes. I own a pair. Not worth the purchase. I did mod my pair, which made them listenable, but otherwise, mid bass is way too prominent, which makes the rest of the sound muffled and conjested. The soundstage is extremely small and it has a poor instrument separation. Better to stay away, unless you're looking for something to experiment with.
Damn, that's a pity because they seem good and comes with extra velourd pads... what about the HD 5500, have you try them?
