I've had a couple of weeks with the RE-262s now and I love them - they're so detailed and deep - but there's just one thing that's bugging me. Vocalists often sound like they have a lisp - almost like the earphones are actively cutting out the highest frequency in 'S' sounds, and sometimes 'T'.
It's weird, because cymbals are recreated beautifully, so they should do a better job here.
I originally thought maybe it's my source (a Sony Xperia S through a Fiio E6 amp), but A) it does the same thing through my laptop, and B) it only tends to do it on busy tracks - simple acoustic stuff sounds better. This makes me wonder if it's a limitation of the single dynamic driver.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Any tips for improving it? I have some Comply foam tips on the way, using the small double flange for now.
