My COP's arrived today.
I am not qualified to do a legit review but I will share my thoughts on them best way I can. The other decent over-ear headphone that I have to do an A/B comparison is the HD280Pro. Also, I am a
basshead, so my comments are with the port sliders all the way open and they will stay that way.
FiiO E11 on setting 0 and 1. (still experimenting between FiiO and clip zip eq)
Highs - They are superior on the HD280Pro, they sound more clear to me.
Mids - The same here, they sound better on the HD280Pro.
Mid Bass - COP's.
Bass - COP (yesss).
Bass Impact - COP (headphone cups actually shake from the impact, more so after some eq in my RB clip zip (still learning advanced eq settings).
Sub Bass - COP (oh lawd).
The only strange thing that I noticed is that
sometimes the right speaker will clip/distort when I crank up the volume real high, even with FLAT eq settings.
This doesn't happen at all on the left speaker. Also tried the same songs (at the same volume/eq settings) on the HD280Pro and this doesn't happen either. I do like to listen to my music really loud, but due to what I stated above I'm a little worried. Hopefully I don't have a defective unit.
If anybody has the same issue please let me know.
Edit: I am going to let them burn in after hours for a couple days. But overall I am very pleased with the sound and specially the bass/sub bass when paired with the E11.
Hopefully the right speaker clipping is just me and not an issue with the headphones. I was also really surprised on how
light these headphones are despite of their size. I used them in the gym today and (of course) the pads got a little hot and sweaty, but for regular use I think they will be fine. I will still buy the velours anyways as soon I have the funds.
