Had some questions I was hoping you all could help me out with. I just got the P7 wireless and am in the middle of my return period window. Pair it with my iPhone 6 Plus. Had read some reviews here and elsewhere prior to buying. Had been really excited about them, as my prior set was some Bose On Ear wireless headphones (the ones originally released late 2014).
The thing that's bothering me most is the bass. I know a lot of reviewers mention this, but I'm surprised how much I find it really distracting and bothersome. I'm a little surprised more people don't complain of it, though I've only read bits and pieces of this 94-page thread. I really don't want to mess with EQ settings; I haven't used any EQ in my 9 years of having iPhones. I particularly love to hear details and textures in vocals (e.g. Bob Dylan throughout the various eras), but vocals do feel pushed back a decent bit and I fear turning up the volume too much might endanger my hearing from all that loud bass.
My question is whether anyone's experienced any "break-in" with the bass becoming less intense over time. I know that might wind up being a mental/brain thing, but I do wonder if these headphones will sound more balanced in this area. Also, does the firmware update impact the bass in any way by chance?
Another question, which perhaps no one can answer, is whether I have a pair that's slightly defective or something, and whether it's worth the hassle of getting another pair. I'm probably just sensitive to the heavy bass, but have there been known reports of "defective" units in this sense with the P7w?
I do like that the P7w makes harsh recordings sound tolerable, like the 2003 Dylan remasters and even Oasis' What's The Story (which always sounded bad to me). The general warmth itself is nice, though I'm conflicted whether I'd prefer more clarity from another headphone.
Thanks!
