New Head-Fier
Hi all
New here so hi and it's nice to be here.
I would consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to audio and I recently purchased a set of Flare Audio Jet 1 earbuds based on reviews I've read and the marketing blurb, which promised (for want of a better word) great audio quality.
Sadly, despite running these now for over a week with various sources (several Android handets, an iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch and even my main PC with decent soundcard) these claims simply do not translate into reality.
They exhibit a very harsh and uncomfortable top end above 50% volume and it seems no amount of EQ adjustment can temper this.
My hearing is fine and all other earbuds I own do not exhibit the same characteristics. At £50 or so I am really disappointed and was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience or is it possible mine are faulty?
Certainly not up to par.
Thanks in advance
David
