its ok ive sold my sennheiser amperiors before which i think had more detail than a73 its just not my flavour of sound, the thin sound, its great earphone for those who want it. im in to bass earphones. and i know many people dont like bass earphones and say its farting sound, and not neutral etc, which is why i looked into best earphones and realised that analitical earphones basically means flat. but they lack fun that i get from bass earphones with bass amp. i guess there are different worlds in audio, those who like thin bright sound neutral etc, those who like dark sound and those who like bass. i like bass and cant critisise other earphones, they are good and do recomend them to those who like those kinds of sound. a73 and sony xba-a2 just lack that fun factor that i get from bass earphones. please dont feel like a73 arent good, its nice earphone, nice detail etc, but not for me, i prefer bass earphones. coloured sound but its fun sound. like cinema subwoofer kind of sound lol
