Just trying to expand the hobby.

  I don't like the way the 7550's fit. To me they aren't comfortable. The bass sounds pretty good with the vents covered, but still not as good as the radius hp-nhr21. The radius has the best bass I've ever heard. Why these aren't more popular is ridiculous. I bought mine from amazon japan for under $125. Is anyone else familiar with the radius hp-nhr21?

How about mids/treble/resolution though on these ?
 
Finally tried out Sony MDR-XP50s to get a sample of the line before buying higher. The drivers flex terribly on insertion with a click/clack sound, bass bloominess and the lack of mid and upper resolution I knew they would have vs hybrids. Looking forward to trying out a 90 which can only be better  !!

Mids are lush and warm on the radius, treble is bright but smooth, they don't sound rolled off. They are there, to me the treble and mids are just right. If I can compare I would say the treble through mid bass sound like a very good pair of monitors, the added is the bass, it's like a subwoofer was added to the monitors. It's the whole presentation that's really good. You can pick other earphones that do treble or mids better but aren't as pleasing as a whole. I have SE846 (which I love), FLC8S, which are also very good but I keep coming back to the radius.

Sounds good! Can't wait to get mine and see what I think.

talan7 How do they compare bass wise with the se846?

I'm hosting an audio meet this Saturday at my office, South Florida. Pompano Beach, if anyone here is interested in going hit me up. We have 10-15 peeps coming. I think I'm the only basshead unfortunately.

talan7 How do they compare bass wise with the se846?

Deeper than se846, deeper than anything I've heard. They aren't as tight, musical is what I'd call it.

 

[chillaxing]

hows the fit on those radius?

 

[talan7]

One of my most comfortable earphones. One of those earphones where you can't mess it up. The 7550's I can't get to fit properly. The radius are just the opposite, right out of the box they fit.

 

[warrior1975]

I bought 2 new daps today. Ak70 (basically for mojo) and Cowon P1. Really excited about the Cowon and all their magical settings. Should be good for us.

I am more and more excited to get the loaner set. Cant thank good dudes like  talan7 for sharing the trust to be able to do things like this. Everybody wins and everybody spends less money. I still am in the market for a EX1000

the bass from the 846 is divine!

 

[warrior1975]

Lol. I don't know about that. It's good, but I wouldn't say divine.

What's your take on AMPed vs unAMPed?

I've only listened to them amped except on the zx2, which has the best bass of all my players.
