Well that's my IE7s had around 150 hours worth of burn-in. Huge improvement in the sound (as said by many people, hundreds of times; the bass has settled significantly) and I'm delighted with these now. As to the choice of tips - I had been using the Senn medium double-flanged set, and I...

Quote: One more thing, is very strange that sennheiser did not put gold plugs on their ie earphones. I wonder why, sennheiser low on gold ore? LOL Haha I was wondering the very same - just got my pair today. I can already tell that I'm going to like these - can here details that I...

Okay then, so ordinary static playing through the phones at a listenable, but loud volume level while I'm not using them. Will do that. By the way, what is pink and brown noise? never heard of either

Yeah I'll try to - not sure how valuable my feedback will be mind you. And yeah it's no problem - seen many mentioning the burn-in these want. Just to be clear though, what is actually involved in burning them in? Is it sufficient to just use them as normal and wait for them to slowly...

Afraid I don't know much of Edinburgh, was just asking on the off-chance I might recognise the name; and only been to Stirling once or twice. Right, black it is. Thanks yet again. Looking forward to trying these out.

Ah I see, that's even better then. As long as something's disturbingly light. You know Lanark? That'd be the nearest "well-known" town to where I stay. How about you man, where-abouts in the capital are you from? Can I ask you yet another question? This one's pretty trivial... What colour...

Okay then thanks. Just ordered them; best price I've found comes from the big online stores at £119.99. Seems pretty good in comparison to RRP and competition. Will just order those "disturbingly light" tips too - as you said, hardly a disaster if I find I don't like them. And I'll save...

Okay, lovely. Wasn't sure if "hige" was Head-Fi slang for something - couldn't find it in the list . And just to be sure, is there any difference between those marked "Earbuds Tips" and those "Ear Bud Chushion"? I didn't have this question in the last post, but you replied before I put...

Heya again, Again, very helpful. The sound seems very suitable. Isolation seems adequate. I'm guessing the only way to get better isolation than the eBay tips would be to get a a set of custom-made tips. But I think - as you pointed out - having come from this pair I'm using, it will...

Okay then, thanks again for the help. It's appreciated. I can see myself going for the IE 7s - see a lot of happy owners. However, could you please just answer a few questions on them? If you wouldn't mind that is. How is the sound at the different ranges? Is it fairly balanced? How...

Hello again, Okay kjk thanks for that - puts me right back where I started . One thing though; could somebody please explain to me what is meant when the sound produced is described as "warm" or "on the warm side"? See it being used a lot. And yes I will have a look at Radiopaqs too, thanks...

Ah it's alright man - guess it must be frustrating if it happens frequently. At a bit of a dead end now.. I've had a look at all those suggested, and (unfortunately) I would really like to try out a pair of Monster Turbines. From what I've read from various source the sound is more-or-less...

Well as I said in my first post, it was my first post here. Didn't see it as being very important.. had I known it was such a big deal I'm sure I'd have mentioned it. Again, as I'm new to this I don't really think I know my "sound sig" very well, so far as to say the music I listen to and...

Okay ta, found a US company who'll ship a pair across, but the price of the shipping is far too high for me to even consider it. There doesn't seem to be a UK seller (yet). I find this a shame as the descriptions of the sound the Turbines produce seem to match what I'm looking for. So I think...

Heya again, Thank-you both for your advice. Okay Mark, I understand what you're talking about now! By the way, you mentioned "turbines". Any chance of a link to those please? I can't seem to find them (or at least the pair I did find were well out-with that which I'd be prepared to pay)...
