Here we go again!! lol. Well, I preference that statement with.. "I think...." So again, you're going to argue with me on my opinion? How ludicrous to try to correct me on my opinion? But hey, that's your right too, to think you have that power.
Now, call it an ego or not, but I have worked as a professional journalist specializing in jazz for over 20 years. I'm not good at describing the technical aspects of in-ear monitors, that's not my forte. I can only tell you how it sounds to me and why I like the sound or not. As a jazz journalist, however, let's forget my opinion for a second. Why don't you just do a Google search of the top jazz websites and look for their top 20 or top 100 greatest jazz albums ever sections. I can assure you that the majority of them have "Kind of Blue" listed as the best jazz album of all time. And then if it's not number one on some obscure jazz websites, it's number two on the list. But again, the majority of the websites have it listed as number one. Also, I'm part of the National Jazz Journalists Association. We have voted it the number one jazz album of all time.
So, there you have my opinion and the opinion of other professionals. What does it all mean? It means it's fine that you don't agree. So you like something different? You think something else is better? Good for you. Have at it and relax... lol. You act like I'm misleading the public with some great lie and agenda every time I give my opinion buddy. Happy listening.

Bah sorry, but I just can't help but correct someone when they state "greatest jazz album ever recorded" making it sound like an absolute. "One of the best", maybe. "The best ever imo", perhaps. But "greatest jazz album ever recorded" period, sorry but nope I love this album too but I'll be making a huge mistake labeling it as such. Albums like A Love Supreme, The Black Saint & Sinner Lady and Out to Lunch may touch people a lot more than A Kind of Blue and vise versa, that's the beauty of art. You pick and choose as a listener in an intimate matter, individual choices will never become the absolute outside of your spectrum thought.
