The thing is that yes, they do sound good, and yes, the build quality is great, but they don't sound any better than equally priced IEMs. And I expect from headphones to be better than IEMs at the same price : the Shure SRH840 are actually as good as top tier IEMs while costing much less.
Such a shame, really : they're just so damn good looking !

Due to some changes in my listening habits, I've recently sold off a few items from my collection, mainly due to myself not spending much time with them. I've basically sold off my Ultrasones, SE530s, and in the process of selling my Tomahawk amp in a attempt to consolidate by using the funds from those sales to fund the P5s. Still kept a lot of my other gear but those actually serve mixing purposes. |
