Well, just pulled the MC5s off the burn-in PC, hooked them up to the newly updated Touch (iOS4) and turned on the bass boost EQ. They sound better, to me much better. Need the EQ, but not a deal breaker at all for me. However, with the Touch at least, need to almost take the volume to max. So I hooked up the T3 and LOD cable, and turned on the gain switches, and wow, the sound is amazing to me. Detailed, plenty of bass. Just listened to two tracks, The Message (Bela Fleck) and Don't Worry, Be Happy (McFerrin) and wow, I like it. This is all very early, and I want to see how the MC5s sound with the J3 when my new one gets here Tuesday (32GB). But the burn-in seems to have settled down the treble issues, and certainly brought out more bass. Never heard the RE0s,so can't compare. But they are on par with the RE-Zeros I have here, I believe. I am using the UM56 sleeves on the Etys, so that may be an unfair advantage over the HD IEMs.
But both sound excellent, and will keep both I believe. More to come. But with a little help (amp, bass EQ) the Etys sound much different to me than out of the box.
