I had exactly the same sibilance problem with the Sennheiser HD600, (actually it was worse) they sounded screechy and pretty bassless, it was so bad that I went out and bought a new pair of headphones - I really hated them. But I kept trying them every now and again, not believing my first impressions, and at some point the sound opened up and the sibilance dissappeared. My RS1's on the other hand (as far as I can tell) sound the same now as when I bought them a year ago, and have never had this problem. I'm presuming that sometimes the drivers need some time to loosen up a bit. Based on my experience with the HD600 I think the sibilance should go, given enough time.
Originally posted by Toe I've Hrm, sibilance isn't something I hear very often with mine. What exactly are the "different amps" you're using? And what other cans do you normally listen to? |
