While not overwhelmed with free time, I have been slowly writing my review comparing the EP-10 Plus to many others. I must say it is stellar in many ways and not so great in others. I sent an email to Sergio of Earpower with my concerns about the mid-bass and fit and here is the response from his translator:
"Most of EARPOWER's clients are professional musicians who specifically request a substantial presence of bass frequencies on stage. The product you received is tailored to this end. Following your observations, it is clear that you have a professional audiophile approach to the assessment of these products and therefore naturally require a flat response. This is a straightforward adjustment that Sergio can make directly on your earphones."
They have arranged for the EP-10 Plus to be shipped back and forth, but I still have some questions I would like answered first, as below 600Hz the bass of the EP-10 Plus is stunning, comparing with the bass of the LCD-2!
I do like these a lot and for the first time am using the EQ on my iPod for portable use so I can enjoy these. If they can get these to sound like they do with the EQ on, I will be able to recommend these! So, regardless of what components they have used, the sound is very very good in many ways and might just get a whole lot better! More to come.
Edit: And as time has passed the comfort has improved.
