I've recently just got one of these as my first high end foray into the in-ear headphones world. I've gotta say they sound really incredible! Well, I've been incarcerated for a year due to consumption of marijuana in Singapore (would you believe that?!) I was only 17 and they threw me into a cesspit full of murderers, molesters and what not. When I was just released, I decided to treat my ears to something nice and shelled out a wad of cash for these Lyras. Upon initial testing I compared the lyras to the westone w50s and I somehow picked the former. Which was weird since I recently got a pair of w20's for my everyday carry and I found them much better than the lyras :/ now I've ordered a pair of w50s as I've discovered I'm more of a balanced armature guy. But I've got to give the Lyras credits as they sound very warm and the bass isn't overly punchy with a great sounstage. I've tested it on a FiiO E10k amp and they sound even better! The only gripe I have about the lyras is that they don't excel on the lows, that really bums me out as I don't like having my ears blasted every time I listen to music. I've compared the lyras and the w20s with the FiiO E10K on a song called "Sail" by AWOLNATION and the difference is really there. The lyras give off a very relaxed, smooth and warm kind of signature, while compared to the w20's the signature was very harsh and hurts my ears a little but the details are accounted for.
Please give your thoughts about this little post, forgive me if I've used some inappropriate terms as I'm still not that acquainted with the headphone world

One year jail for consumption (inhalation?) of marijuana: ridiculous. Finding a signature you like: wonderful.
