Anyway, 2 days ago I checked in to Jaben and auditioned the Beyer Custom One Pro which honestly, I thought it was a bit mediocre. The bass switching works though from "where is it?" to "OMG!!!! TOOO MUUUUCCHHHH". Mids were withdrawn and not very detailed for a Beyer can.
Also tried the Flat-4 Sui IEM which I was very surprised because I thought it was going to be very bassy and dark. In fact, it was the polar opposite. Very, very piercing, almost too much. But at least, it did have some weight in the low end.
Tried the MDR-1R with a custom cable which made the bass much more controlled and made the sound more balanced. I like it!
Then, I tried the fabled Muramasa VIII which honestly, I was more annoyed by its weight and sheer discomfort rather than its price and sound. I couldn't wear it with my glasses. Sound wise though: very clean, analytical and neutral, smooth treble, overall quite an inspiring sound but really, not as exciting as the Stax but that discomfortness, it's more of a show piece than a headphone.
Now when I went home, I was caught in a massive traffic jam, it literally was a gridlock. The taxi couldn't even budge! So I got off from the taxi and walked home which was a distance of 4 kilometers. That may not sound much but believe me, in Jakarta 4km on foot feels more like 10km with all those bad and uneven pedestrian roads.
Here's a pic:
LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE ANTS!!!
Oh no wait, those are people fighting furiously to get home as quickly as possible which they can't.
Oh BTW, bad news. My Shure SE425 is gone. Either I lost it or somebody stole it. I left it at school but I didn't managed to find it.
What do you say to that Deadly?
