I've been using my 580s for about a week and half at work now, listening through a META42 and a PCDP. On the commute to work I use the Ety 4s's through the same META42 and PCDP.
Overall, I enjoy the sound of the 580s. I find them smooth, pleasant, not at all fatiguing and very comfortable. HOWEVER, compared to the Etys they sound as if I'm listening to them through a sock. That is, it sounds as if the sound is being impeded or muffled. This is the complaint comment I have about my 280s, but I think to a lesser degree.
It doesn't surprise me that I find the Etys clearer. I believe a lot of people have said that they are exceptional in this regard.
To other 580/600 users, particularly those who also listen to Etys, have you noticed something similar? Do you think the 580s need more breaking in time? Replacement cables? Or is this just part of their general sound? Should I get my ears cleaned?
