I bought these on the recommendation of the many reviews on this site and amazon. I purchased it in the apple store and have owned them now for almost 2 years.And frankly am disappointed.
Myhouse growing up was an audiophile's dream. MAny rooms with very high end systems. My Folks are audiophiles, I appreciate good sound but live in an old appartment and can't enjoy.
Davis and BW speakers are my favourite. I like sound that is rich.
And these headphones sound awful on the iphone. They do sound a little better on my microsoft surface which is of a higher resistance and power.
This is going to shock a few headfiers, but honestly the $35 apple earpod's sound KILL these. Like no contest. Now if only they would fit well like the RHA's which are a little heavy but ergonomically great.
I should point that 6 months in I had a few problems and RHA replaced them with a new pair. Their service is impecable. as is their build quality. But when I sit on my balcony with a rhum and coke and want to enjoy some pop, classical or rock or even hip hop I reach for Earphods or Grado sr80;s.

Because the RHA MA-750 is definitely on the neutral and "cold" side.
Therefore I see where you are coming from.
The earpods, which give a muddy bass compared to the tight bass of the MA-750,
which may give a false sense of richness.
The 750 will definitely sound too "sterile" and lacking emotion to some ears,
due to its clinical rendition of sound.
