I must be doing something wrong. I just bought the revered Etymotics ER6 phones, and the sound quality is just terrible, really tinny, lacking almost all bass, and possibly worse than any headphones I have heard from years.
I know that insertion and positioning is important - I am following all the insertion instructions, pulling the top of the ear "up and out" to open the ear canal, and inserting them so snug that I can get that "water in the ear at swimming pool" feeling, but to no effect. I have also tried the foam pad - no improvement. I have tried them plugged into a Creative Zen MP3 player, CD walkman, and hi-fi amplifier - all sound just as bad.
So:
a) What am I doing wrong ?
or
b) Are they faulty ?
or
c) Do they always sound like this (in which case I don't understand why they get such good reviews here) ?
Thanks for any help
