I love these. Mine might be around 20hrs-ish too, I suppose, if that makes a difference.
I agree with the above - and I find that they’re engaging. I don’t know why this comes to mind, but the best way I could describe this aspect (at least right now) - is: these headphones have a (glorious) story to tell. And you will sit the bloody hell down and listen. Other times, the story will make you want to get up and dance. But, regardless, this is the DK-4001’s story. It just...commands. I like it.
My two cents on the soundstage from my experience so far: to me, the soundstage feels more like a studio or small venue experience. And while this means imaging width is slightly limited at times, it is actually complimented nicely by the IEM’s impressive vertical imaging. Edit 28Dec19: ok, these have opened up a bit, or something. There’s some width for sure!
It has been a while since I tried ‘reviewing’ IEMs, so thanks for bearing with me, and if anything isn’t clear just ask .
I am trying the Sony ZX-300 with these today. Not sure if they will synergize. (They sound preeeeeeettyyyyyyy dammnnnn good out of just the iPhone dongle though...).
All my humble opinion of course.
