Just got these and not sure how I feel about them. The bass seems really over powering to me, might just be because I came from the Jupiters. Does the bass mellow our a little bit after a good burn in?
Hi man,
I have been using the Solaris for a few months as my only IEMs. I had quite a ride with the bass performance on those, partly - I think - due to brain burn in and partly to the DD being worn in.
When I first got the Solaris after the Andromeda, the bass response felt
extreme. That changed dramatically after a couple of hours and I really felt let down by the lack of power of the bass, then. There were times when I was unsure if the bass performance of the
Andromeda did not actually surpass that of the Solaris.
Now, at 50-100h of listening, I am so
enticed by the bass. It is
just right. Extension, rumble, vibration and control. There is warm and luxurious emphasis in the lows (i.e. not neutral) which makes the Solaris rich sounding (I never understood those who called the Solaris bass-light).
The Solaris could be more open-sounding but alas, that is its signature and warm nature which is wonderful and melodic just as well.
My takeaway is this: If you're unhappy with the Solaris and can't return them, give 'em time before you resell them.
My only, only, only, complaint with the Solaris is fit. That's why I'm hoping my VE8 custom will serve me as well as the Solaris has
