I have many vocal tracks with instrumentals, that aren't classical songs. And no, I don't listen to any classical with my HJEs.

I didn't say that HJEs sounded good for instruments in general. I believe I said they sounded good in comparison to the EXs.

That's what I've hoped they sound better than exs at first.
Then it turned out not that case.

Thats the cool thing about this forum... everyone has a unique opinion

Just like I don't like the Panasonic house sound, and - from my few brief listens, I don't like the Sony R10, Audio Technica W2002, Grado HP1 - or even the new Grado PS1... whereas others consider these top level 'phones to be the best there is...

The EX81 is definetly going up and up in my estimation... it wouldn't surprise me to find out that someone from Sony has read this forum and copied down peoples dislikes of the EX71s... it does seem that the improvements mirror the downsides of the 71s...

i have the hje50s and md33s. difference is not that big, the panasonics has slightly less bass but slightly more treble.

this difference means that the md33s are more musical/fun/enjoyable/, but both are very good.
I love my md33s though, I never get tired listening to music with them.

I haven't heard the ex-81 yet, but I'm beginning to like the EX-71 more and more. When I've gone for a long walk these past few days, I find myself reaching for the EX-71 instead of the Panasonics, Sharps, Shures or Etys. The midrange is pretty much non-existent, but the highs have been tamed considerably by use of the Pocketamp v2, which also tightens up the bass considerably.
I fear I'm becoming a basshead.........and liking it!

three weeks? after I make similar post...... anyway I'm happy with my final choice of the Panasonic's. Better sound than Sony's - non of that "heightened", exaggerated even, bass. Although I swapped tips with Sony's to get a better fit. Was left to wonder about comments that Sharp is the best of the lot.

Oh well. I'll be comforted when I can afford E3c's in 4 weeks

 

[llbluell]

So the panasonics arnt comfortable??? Well, I dont mind the Mx400 when everyone else says they are really comfortable. I hope the Panasonics turn out good. They are arriving tommorow of Wednesday btw

You've probably seen my thread about the MD33s. Are you still getting the Panasonic. Can't remember how the Panas. are designed, but the Sharps has one earphone cable longer than the other (to put behind your neck). For some people, they prefer to have even length cable.

I'm enjoying the MD33s, so much so that I haven't even touched my other phones (not even to compare). The Bass is good especially on the rap song I'm listening to (J Wess). MP3s comes out worst depending on the encoding (which is what some people want for honest sounding music).

I saw a lot of in ear phones in Tokyo including the new ones from Sony and AT, but in the end I went with the MD33s simply because its been touted a lot more on forums like this one than the other brands.

And I got them pretty cheap so didn't break any bank this time

Gouki: Man it sure seems there are a lot of us in Japan. Any headfiers in Osaka, though? I think I am the same way with my Panasonics: happy enough with them to not bother trying anything else. Anything else that is cheap that is. Besides, do you really need 3 pairs of cheepy headphones when you have one you're happy with? Of course if we're talking expensive headphones, you need all the different pairs your wallet will dare allow.

(we really need an audio technica smiley up in here.)

They are totally fine, to me at least.
I find that the physical parts in contact with your ears (the tips) can be easily changed anyway, and for a very cheap price, so comfort really is not a big issue.
The tips of the 3 buds mentioned here are exchangeable as well, so if you get more than one of them, just stick in the most comfortable tips of your choice

Just to excite you a little... what I really liked about the Panasonics is their performance on Rock music. Guitars sound really good on these, and with clarity. Yes, the tone is coloured and very unnatural, but it makes the phones "fun", at least with many Rock pieces.

If you have never owned a piece of really good quality buds, chances are, you're gonna be very happy with these.

Do the pana's have substantially more bass impact than the MX-450's?
