i've been using eo320 for a week on and off
i wanna love it but it's killing me ears
treble is fatiguing?? had to -5
bass is ok, +10 anyway
even so, highs still cause some mild headache :frowning2:

so my cygnus finally came today, they sent me them in a little earphone case and 2 extra white donuts,
 
I tried them and found they sounded different then I remember
 
I figured that they had to change both drivers, to sound match the earbuds,
 
so I put them on the "burner" (sansa zip clip) and plan to burn them in for about 5 days,
 
something I didn't do the first time

Most probably you expereinced the same problem as me in that they only swapped one of the drivers....

That sure is weird.
 

 
I can easily recommend the Yinman Hifi 150 ohm. I would love to see what @ClieOS  thinks of the 500 ohm model. The 150 sounds like a very refined SHE3800, so the sound signature is familiar to many here, but far better in every way than the SHE3800

 and the wood housing is very nice , too.

edit: At least that is what I think as I feel that the sound of my serviced cygnus is no longer the same as the old cygnus, like a sort of an "unbalance feeling".

the reason I sent them back was that they had  ass on the left and treble on the right, now they seem flat-er sound sig, hopefully, it just needs some burn in to return to it's true self

I think they swapped both, when trying the tone generator, there was no distinction between left and right, only a mono sound as it should be, unlike before, however, at certain frequencies, they sound weirdly distorted, that is why I decided to burn them in for 5 days

Woah, I've been only using my Walnut, so believe it or not I haven't done any serious bass testing on my Yinman 150 with my bass EQ...
 
They amp great and aren't the bassiest I have but they do have really strong and nice bass. It just does not push to the limit quite as much as a few others.... but it is very close. With no EQ (Walnut) it still has a great bass presence and overwall warm sound.
 
Mine have 60ish hours on them

Does anyone have any thoughts on Sennheiser MX475, MX365 or MX585? Don't see them mentioned here much.
