Good point. I'd never blame the phones for the bad recording. Just trying not to aggravate an already sad musical situation. I doubt it will sound "bad" though.     I think I'm convinced. Well I assume so, as I just sent payment ;-)   Thanks all for the time and advice!

My expectations are mostly for clarity. I want to hear as much as possible. Most of my collection is melodic or symphonic so lots of instruments in a largely classical style of arrangement.    I tend to steer clear or the black stuff - far too depressing and musically not to my tastes :-P  ...

So I've had the Noble 4's in my sights since the Wizzards departure from Heir. Something about the brand, the design and the people has just appealed to me with it's particular quality.   I'm pretty much ready to take the plunge since my B2's just died though I'm now trying to figure out if my...

Hope you don't mind me reviving this thread. I'm in the market for some new IEM's as my B2's just died. I listen to a lot of metal genres and I'm thinking of spending a good amount (limit is probably $500ish) to get a great sound.  I've noted that the 4R's are supposed to be great for metal and...

Quote:   Sounds interesting, i currently only have FLACs. Might give WAVs a shot and see what difference i notice. some of the music i've been listening to sounds very constricted and obstructed but i have a feeling that purely comes down to poor production :(   Quote:   Thanks...

Had this player for 2 days now and I'm surprised at how the sound is improving while breaking in. Wasn't getting the most amazing sound out of the box but I'm noticing a better balance after about 25 hours of playback (most of it unattended). just need to upgrade my headphones now - B2's dont...

I've noticed a few comments comparing the z2 to other DAPs on the market, but im wondering how the SQ compares to players like the c2. I get that the c2 doesnt have all the extra features, but primarily im wondering about how my music will sound. battery life and size/weight matter a little too...

I really like the sound of just about all aspects of these headphones, but I do listen to a lot of metal so im not sure if i would have a problem with the notes rear-ending each other. So difficult to decide lol!

Quote:   Thanks for that info!! It will be a tough decision, but this gives me something to go off :)    

I'm not sure if the two products are in the same class, but I was wondering how the B2's compare to SE425's. From the reviews I've read they both have some of the same pro's, but there is a fair price gap. Am i doing it wrong?
