Interesting. This was almost me. I put the mids on 1. I had initially settled on 0 but after cycling through multiple genres of music, I decided 1 on mids was better for me. It seems my ears like warm mids.

Has anybody figured out exactly which frequencies the eq adjusts? I'm curious for personal reasons so see if, in the future, a more neutral headphone from Sennheiser is something I'd consider.

Amazing! I'm glad it found a good home. I actually wish I had it now to compare with these Sennheiser Momentum 3's I'm enjoying so I can see if I've strayed from my original preferred sound. Subbass is always king though :-D

Not sure if you mentioned it, but have you tried the Sennheiser wireless momentum 3?

I'm glad to see people are still listening to these headphones. These are what truly got me started on the quest for the perfect headphones because I loved the subbass so much. I got rid of them long ago when times got hard but I'm finally in a position to explore audio gear once again. I'm...

I'm still catching up on this thread but did you ever compare it with the AKG K371? I think there's a bigger difference between the K371 and K361 than just the frequency response. I ask because I thought you were initially going to compare with K371. Thanks!

  The price is definitely what's keeping me from trying that EPH-100 too. I really like the presentation of the FXT90 but couldn't handle to treble and wanted more low end bass. I love sub-bass.  But until then, I just picked up the fxt90 again pending the time I can afford the fxh30 or...

  Where'd you get them at that price range? Everything I find is above $60. One of the reasons I don't mind buying it used if I can find them at around $30.

does anyone still have these iems that wants to get rid of them?  I'm interested in buying

At the end of the day, I'm not impressed by these. Definitely prefer the piston 3.0 to the hybrids. I've given it enough time, I think, and I'm not seeing any more changes. True the highs opened up just a bit more, but I was looking for a change in the mids. I'll sell my pair to anyone in the...

By the way. To me, other than tiny technicalities that you won't notice unless you're reeeeally listening for them, there doesn't seem to be a sonic difference between the regular Piston 3's and the cheaper Youth Editions.  That is all.

Short and to the point. Coming form the piston 3's and piston 3 YE, these are definitely dark OOTB. They sound technically better, but the balance of sound isn't to my liking. Leaving them to just play music through for the next few days. If they don't open up more/get brighter/reveal more...

Should be getting mine soon. I'm also curious what the graph looks like if Inks wouldn't mind testing it again after hours of "use".

After half an hour of comparison between the two Piston 3 Youth Editions that I got, it's clear the sounds are different. They're so cheap though ($9) I'm going to order another one to see. Only downside is it might take a month to get to me, but it'll be good to see if it's a QA issue. I'm...

Sooooo. either I got a dud, or what they've been saying about the YE's and the piston 3's being the same driver is completely wrong. It's like the sound focus flipped positions with piston 3's drawing your focus to bass and YE's revealing more mids and treble.   Edit: YEP. It's a dud. I...

First post in what feels like 2 years. After about a month of waiting, finally got these in. I had the Piston 2 for about 3 months but lost it. Been surviving with earpods since then so can't reeeeally remember the sound signature of the 2's. But first 5 minutes of listening it sounds like...

fantastic! over time, these are sure to attract more head-fiers since the god of iem reviews finally has thoughts on them.

joker. might want to change the 3A30 you have for the BE to 2A30. confused my search function for a second there till I spotted the error.

  oooh my BE's. without yooooouuuuu.....

Quote: Niiiice. I've been waiting for those. Hopefully they live up to the expectations. If not, gotta stick with BE's for a looooong time.   P.S. By saying "waiting for those" I really mean waiting for eke's impressions/review of those.

what you will find is that bass is different from bass. I was actually listening to my BE's and stopped by a friend's house (who has the solo HD). So I said, hmm. Let's listen to these beats shall we?   I couldn't keep them on for more than 30 seconds. So I had to judge them with...

xba-3ip is up for sale for any interested. the 3ip is the same as the 3 sound wise but has a regular y split instead of j and has talk/volume controls for apple devices.

Quote: I had all at the same time. Bass on XBA-3 does not compare to even the GR07 MKII, not to mention the BE. MH1C definitely has the most bass/subbass but it is slow and the quantity is unnecessary. And thanks for the write up Master Troll (AKA sfwalcer). A mighty fine job. Looking...

I'd recommend the the gr07 BE's.  Read through the gr07 BE thread for the facts on comparisons. I'm certain someone there owns the BA200 as well and can give you a proper comparison.

Quote:   honestly good sir, you truly are blessed if you believe the m2 isn't that far from these. As I stated before, my m2's WERE my favorite and what really got me hunting around the iem world (The Brainwavz HM5 and Denon D2K also played a role). I'll just leave it at that and say...
