I like mine, paired with a Fiio X1. Yep, they have a lot of detail in the uppers, but I like that area (just as some bassheads like the lower-end). To each their own. There are 139 pages of posts here, and in them many people report liking the Altones, Some find them too bright. We all have our own ears and brains, our own source players, our own music files of varying bitrates and quality, and all of us have our own opinions. I'm sorry you folks on the past couple of pages report not liking the Altones, Many of us do. That's what makes listening (and life) interesting. Differences of opinion.
Amen to that.
Sorry if my critique may come across as harsh. I'm an old dude too, I like my treble. I just think that the label "high-end" should imply a reasonably faithful reproduction of sound. IMHO, neither the IG900 nor the Altone are up to that task.
I've tried to illustrate my point in this post. As always, ymmv. I don't have a problem with different opinions.
