    Monster Miles Davis Tribute thread

    Hey Dubbed Man ,so you got the MDs , how you liking them? some pretty powerful bass on these dude ! when i amp these up with my solo srg2 and Yamaha rig the mid bass is mind blowing ,i don't really like jazz music much ,even on these but heavy rock and metal they sure can pound it out , and you...

    Looking For Ultra-High-Capacity MP3 Player Options?

    My cowon x7 is a very good sounding player and does not require an amp for use with iems and has 160gb and is simple to use.   For my music transport in my home system i use an Archos 48 which has a 500GB hard drive and is around the same size as the x7 just a bit thicker and as a portable...

    Balanced signature with slight warmth/color, strong punchy bass, sparkly treble, high isolation, mids not recessed

    I agree with the statement that the vocals are upfront on the w3 , they definitely are not shy or recessed at all ,combined with the bright treble the vocals can be very sibilant for some people ,including me , i overcome this by using two monster foam supertips on comply cores to eliminate the...

    Torn between Westone 4/EX1000/IE80/HD650

    Quote: Neither the w3 or any of the monsters or ie8 / hd650 sound much like the w4s sound signature !, All of those do have more prominent bass though .The westone 3 will give you the best clarity ,closest to the w4 out of the iem's but the others still  have very good clarity and micro...

    Balanced signature with slight warmth/color, strong punchy bass, sparkly treble, high isolation, mids not recessed

    The sm3 has really good vocals ,it is one of there strengths actually ,i think they would be perfect for your tastes in that regard but you said you are after something . more aggressive ,the treble on the sm3 is very polite , no veil but tingly and polite rather than sparkly and aggressive...

    Balanced signature with slight warmth/color, strong punchy bass, sparkly treble, high isolation, mids not recessed

    What makes you think the w3 has recessed mids ? , not to my ears they don't ! , the bass and treble lead the way but the mids are by no means recessed or lacking in any way .   The sm3 bass is a fuller much more dymanic driver sounding bass with a very good hitting power and also has good...

    Balanced signature with slight warmth/color, strong punchy bass, sparkly treble, high isolation, mids not recessed

    Both the sm3 and se535 sound there most exciting when eq,ed ,but i enjoy the sm3 far more than the se530 for rock music ,and the sm3 is a very easy fit in the ear as apposed to the se535 which is really very hard to get to stay in position without sliding out my ears and is far less comfortable...

    Quote: What you need is for tfta to make you a prototype full size can using there thin film technoligoy . I agree the ie8 bass was not that hard hitting ,it was too warm and colored the vocals ,but was not that punchy or deep compaired to the tfta, that may have been becouse they are...

    Quote: The bass on the Pro 900 really is not that strong or heavy and i am not the only one one this forum that has said that ! .It is never going to satisfy a true basshead

    expanding headphone collection?

    Akg Q701 is very different from those two , it is neutral, very large soundstage ,analytical and very detailed treble , very little mid and upper bass.   Pro 900 , small 3d soundstage , strong treble and lower mids ,sounds wonderful for electric guitars ,punchy bass but not to strong   ...

    Which IEM? €250 budget. IE8 / SE425 / EX700 / TF10 / W2 / UE 700 ?

      Quote: The tf10 does isolate well as long as you have large ear channels to get a secure fit as they have a large diameter sound tube and most of there body sits outside of the ear making them slip out if the seal is not tight ,they are the best sounding iem in your list though. The...
