Well, I would not call a comparison to the **** 4in1 to be particularly attractive. I thought those were a very harsh, overly trebly listening experience.
Very harsh?! Never had such impression.
Some people are more treble sensitive than others. If you aren't, they're a great value for the money. Otherwise it's apparently nails on chalkboard treble. I fall in the category of love them but find them fatiguing after an hour or two.
I`m quite treble sensitive (especially in the region of 6.2-7.5kHz) and again I recommend using high impedance cable (at least 1.2 Ohm) and JVC Spiral Dot tips with **** 4in1 - this way highs will be tamed and it sounds quite balanced with slight boost in bass and highs. Mids sound neutral or even slightly "recessed" for my taste.
