In a small padded bag, my tiny case of ER-6 was lying on my bed. I was pretty happy for the quick shipping; only 2 days!
So, opening the small plastic case (again marveling at all the small size of everything) i found another case, black, with www.Etymotic.com on the front. Inside, i found two bags: One with 2 filters, filter changing tool, and 2 black foamies. In the other bag were the actual headphones. I was absolutely amazed at the size! They're TINY! (sorry, can't think much, i'm listening to them right now with my Karma.
)
Oh yeah. I had my Karma ready and i was listening to my System of a Down. You guys ready for my impression?.....
.....I was somewhat disappointed. I still am right now, listening to them about 40 minutes later. I tried out the silicon dual-flanges first, because, of course, they're on the things when you get it
. So anyway, i was yes, dissappointed.
They sounded bright. Very. I did not notice much more detail in the sound than my Labtecs, i'm sorry to say.
Right now, i'm listening to some new music. Some techno, in fact. I have since opening them ventured to stick them ever farther into my canal, and just now i've gotten to the farthest i've stuck them. How should it look? Looking in the mirror, right now the black end is not visible, it is covered by the flap in front. Another thing...
IT
HURTS
And to me, doesn't sound very good! Taking them out, i feel very strange. It's really hard to take them out too. Am i getting a correct seal? I'll have to practice some more... so far, it's not very rewarding. Some things that i've liked:
On a few songs, the drums seem nicely recreated.
The bass truly isn't that bad on techno.
Bleh.... is this truly what i paid for? I'm sure it'll get better, but right now it doesn't seem like it will...
My ears hurt right now, so i'm taking them out for a while; need to clean my room anyway. sigh.....
