How's the trebel on those compared to the willsound? Is it very extended or cold? How's the soundstage etc.
Really like the look of the ebx but stayed away cus i can't take extended or sibilant trebel, maybe I've inferred the few impressions i read wrongly.
It’s extended frequentially but clean.
The highs are there but never sibilant.
Don’t know what the specs are but I’m not hearing anything that indicates that these don’t have extremely low distortion. They are very clear.
I do use eq sometimes and if the buds aren’t great, they respond sloppily and will reveal their lack of detail. These don’t do that.
They are incredibly detailed from deep low to airy highs, especially for the money.
I love the natural but beefy nature of the willsound but they don’t have quite the detail of the ebx available, especially up top.
I always want to have earbuds with clean and transparent sig but the willsound is pretty much the first bud that, while isn’t that, I enjoy immensely for its analog vibey goodness right out of the box (and getting better).
I really can’t think of anything i like as much as these mk2’s that cost 2 or even 3 times as much.
There is the potential challenge of fit with the EBX. It’s big.
I’m lucky to have large ear canals so I feel it’s easier for me to find the right placement,
which sounds worlds apart from even slightly off placement.
I played around with foams. Thick donuts tamed the highs and beefed up the low end somewhat. I now use monk thins and to get a more “fun” sound, use the radsone eq to roll off everything above 6k by 2-3db and boost below 60hz by about the same.
It’s still clear but “fun”.
