Headphoneus Supremus
I have just barely had time to listen to each a little bit today and I have to say these were worth the wait! What you've done here is truly impressive. I was amazed at how long they sat at customs for, but just when I was finally thinking I needed to look into calling people about them the earbuds came through. You've given me what seems to be two perfectly complentary pairs of earbuds and I can't wait to have more time to listen to them. Thank you very, very much!
The Zoomfred Pro might need some burn in. Here's a post from someone who bought a pair 4 years ago:
I went with ZoomFred Pro as Herry from Cypherus Audio suggested after I told him that I want something portable and the least microphonic. Just got them yesterday, so burning them in.
Not sure if burn-in is a thing or it's mainly the brain/ears which are getting used to a new sound signature, but the first few songs they sounded like a $1 fake apple earbuds: plastic, muddy, boomy.
An hour later there was already a volume around head, all frequencies appeared. Then I turned on some symphonic orchestra and got amazed how I hear every instrument and every frequency, how full is the sound.
Today throughout the day, I start to hear more mids, electric guitars start to "jh-jh" as they should, also the instruments and singers are moving further and further away from the head - the stage is expanding. Herry suggested 300 hours of burn-in, so I am looking forward to see how they will transform in the end.
I always burn in new earbuds even if I am not convinced 100% it is a real thing (it might be what goaud27 writes, that your brain and ears adjust). But I still do it to be on the safe side...
