NopeOk ... Gut check everyone ... Is it still a good decision to purchase the Rolands on 11/11?
Right now I'm breaking in a new massdrop Ether CX's ... Long burn in time ....

I see people saying they are dark and have poor treble, but I don't hear that.
Over time the quantity of treble either has increased or my brain has got used to them.
A track that shows the quality and accuracy of their sound is Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin. To me at least it sounds perfect.

It's hard to say. I really like the Roland. It's very different, and not really like any other signature on the market, but it's also not the best tool for enjoying modern-style brick-walled recordings. Give it a good DSD or FLAC recorded with some dynamic range, though, and they shine.Ok ... Gut check everyone ... Is it still a good decision to purchase the Rolands on 11/11?

Doesn't hurt to try. S8F has a particularly energetic treble.Hey Guys,
I just picked up my first pair of S8F from the forum here. Treble seems a bit forward, to pronounced. You guys think foam tips would help? Thanks

Congrats! That is a very nice looking and classy set, imo. Yes, I would suggest you try some foams. I use Newbee foams for all my iems and I haven't been disappointed so far. Look them up on Aliexpress or Amazon. They usually come in a set of 6 pairs, and are less than $10. With the Aliexpress 11/11 sale, you will probably get them for less.Hey Guys,

You're welcome! Hope you like them. I have them on all my iems now (first discovered them from a rec by a fellow headfi member about a year ago...I've bought 4 sets now). I'm not a big fan of silicones because I've never been able to get a really good, isolating fit with any I've tried. Plus, my ears sweat alot with sillies. So generally I prefer foams. I've tried Complys and Dekoni's but don't like how scratchy they feel in my ears. Complys are also expensive. The Newbees are a smooth, soft memory foam that are super comfortable. I like how they make my iems sound. They help bring out the bass, give excellent details in the treble (but make it smoother and less fatiguing) while their wide bores don't affect the mids much at all. I hope that these foam tips will help you enjoy your new purchase more!Courier, they are about to go on sale for 5 bucks on Ali. I’m definitely going to get a set. Thank you.
