Has anyone else seemed like their E5c's sound a bit muffled. It seems as if mine are a bit muffled compared to my E4c's and some of the full size cans i have heard. I am currently using the tri-flanges. Any suggestions on if the sleeves could be the problem and also would an amp help this problem?

Same here. Treble Booster solved the problem on my iPod.

Well running thru all the sleeve synergy's is a whole lot cheaper than an amp, that said, I got thr sr-71 and never looked back.

I went ahead and tried different sleeves and found the medium Grey sleeve to be a big improvement. I think i lost a bit of bass though. But that will improve when my amp is done. I should hopefully have my amp by the end of the year but yeah the sleeve change made a big difference. I was using the tri-flange cause they provided the best bass. But i started realizing it sounded a bit muffled. But now it sounds much better.

I thought my um2's sounded muffled compared to full-sized headphones also. Using rubber/plastic tips helped, at the expense of some bass (the bass is tighter though). I used the ety triflanges. The muffle is just the rolled off treble, though. The only real solution is to get different canalphones

my e2c was the same way till I modded and amped them.

I could not get anything to fit but the yellow foamies. Once I got used to them I would not trade them for the world. I was very critical of the E5cs when I first got them... coming from E3s (of all all places). Now, damn, they sound good especially with good EQ. I mostly listen from a PowerBook but they sound OK from an unamped Ipod 3g. I drool at what they will sound like from an amped Ipod. I just need some funds
