Originally Posted by New2TheScene /img/forum/go_quote.gif I was hoping to get some advice picking between the C751, c710 and C551K. I can get them for $100, $80, $55, respectively. My biggest criteria is comfort. A close second is sound quality. After trying a mid-level Shure in ear a number of years ago, I pretty much wrote off IEMs. To me, they were uncomfortable, wouldn't seal, and kept falling out. So I've stuck to using proper headphones at home, and traditional earbuds and/ clip-ons on the go. There are however times, where I would like the isolation and portability of an canal phone. I recently picked up a Sony noise canceling canal earphone as a beater for traveling. It fit much better. Most impartantly, I didnt' have to push the earphone tool far into my ear canal for it to stay in and when in, it didn't feel like a such cup attached to my eardrum. From what I've read, it seems like the Denon's are reasonably comfortable, and share some of the fit characteristics of the Sony's. Is that true? If so, I'd really appreciate an opinion on how these three phones rank in terms of comfort. Secondly, I have too many mediocre headphones/earphones collecting dust. If I take the plunge, I want to get a good sounding set of phones. I really value detail and resolution. I like neutral sounding phones, but have limited my expectations on that front with these IEMs. So, do the C751's sound the best (as Denon's highest prices earphone), or are the C710's better since they're newer and use slightly different housing and driver technology. And what about the 551K's? Basically, in this case, I'd really appreciate both a ranking and some comments about differences. I've read through a lot of this thread a well as the C700 review thread, but have been unable to get a consolidated opinion. I'd like to thank all those who take their time to reply to my question. |

I listen primarily to rock and metal, but I do love techno/electronic as well. The treble on mine are piercingly strong, like it sticks out and stabs my ear whenever a cymbal is hit. It's the same for a lot of vocals and guitar riffs, which makes it hard to listen to and obscures the mids and bass which these earbuds specialize in (according to the review). I've tried burning them in for a while, but to no avail. Is there something wrong with my earbuds? Is this just how they are? I'd imagine with treble this piercing there'd be complains in the reviews, after all. I've tried amping it and using different sources but that hasn't changed it. |
