Thanks guys. 2 things...
Lindrone: I know the CE775 came out a while ago, so you might not remember details about it, but if you could, could you tell a little bit about it when you say it's "excellent." Also, did you get it modded by matt and if so what were your impressions after?
...lol well there goes half of that post. i just checked back to see if anyone else said anything and of course lindrone who always seems to be one, ok many, steps ahead of me in the realm of audio, is already answering part of my question before i ask it, AND saying what i was going to about bangraman's comment, and here it is...
Bangraman: i know the shures are not the most "technically challenging," headphone, when compared to the etys or hd's for instance. however based on sonic signature and personal preference, the shures deliver what i want, music. the fullness and overall sound of the shures is pleasing enough to me that i have little desire to even try anything else. (interest yes, but DESIRE, not really) i know it might sound odd for this place, but now that i know i love the shure's sound the e5 actally does represent the end of the road for me, at least when it comes to headphones.
Lindrone (seeing you already answered half the question i began asking when i started this post) could you tell me what mod you got and let me know how it sounds when you get it back.
I really appreciate everyone's responses so far.
You know the party's started once lindrone and bangraman show up.
