guys, i was curious:
i usually wear my ES7 as portrayed by the blue circle. i would say that this is actually the circumaural way of wearing the cans, because it sits around my ears. i get a very forward and bright sound, and it really hurts the ears after wearing because the outer part of the ear is heavily pressed by the inner edge of the foams. nevertheless i am quite satisfied by the sound.
then I tried moving the cans as portrayed by the red circle. it now fits the term supra aural because it sits on the ears (am i having the correct definition?). the volume becomes lower, but after i raise it to my normal hearing level, i was quite surprised. i can hear much better separation and much wider soundstage, and it sounds much warmer and less harsh than how i previously hear these cans.
so am I actually wearing it correctly now?
my concerns are that these simple (and quite stupid) adjusting really change the nature of the cans. skylab's review states that these cans have very good soundstage. i was really surprised by this claim until i wear my cans this way, as previously i hear almost no soundstage in my ES7s.
and also, i am concerned by some people really hating the ES7 sound- is it because they are turned away by the very forward and harsh sound delivered if you wear it "wrongly"?
if there is actually a "wrong" and a "correct" way of wearing ES7s, then it will be valuable information as we can suspect some bad sayings about ES7s are caused by the wrong way of wearing.
i need your opinions ES7 heads!
