the C16 continue to grow on me, i find them better for electronic music compered to my dynamic driver in ears, it is very fast and it is not warm sounding, is kind of dry but just a little bit, however the speed turns out to be very important quality for that kind of music
when is the new model (C20) coming out? i will get it
IMO I think the C16 strikes just the right amount of warmth and balance to allow both a pleasing bass signature and detail retrieval. I think if it went any warmer you would lose some of that detail and clarity.
If they can pull it off though, I'm all for it. A little less midbass and a little more subbass if possible.
I find them really, really excellent for Classical. That very subtly raised bass and treble that's kept tight and yet smooth makes them really good at bringing out the detail and separation in classical pieces. I find the bass to be tight and "on point". Just enough emphasis to keep things interesting for most music while not pushing things into "bass emphasised" territory.
Its excellent fit and noise isolation is the icing when it comes to listening as it allows me to lower the volume to levels that permit multi-hour sessions on them.
Got them on sale and with coupons at Aliexpress for just under US$80/-. One would probably need to add at an extra zero in asking price to reach such levels of refinement just 3~4 years ago.
Its a great time to be enjoying audio !
