well there is only a few songs that do it, and only when they are turned up quite loud if you want pm me your email and ill send you the song that drives me nuts with it.

yeah there is a bit of hiss but i dont think its too bad really, nothing that you really notice when they are playing and it reminds me that i need to get a LOD and a proper amp

What song is it? Maybe I have it.

 

[mark2410]

reliant k, curl up and die

 

[walkingman]

I don't have it but found it on Spotify. Streaming now (in Ogg Q5).

 

[walkingman]

There was a very slight sibilant I detected on the two minute mark. It wasn't that obvious at first and I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't listening for one.

Good track though.

 

[mark2410]

just checking it myself and nope i still get it on that copy too, still only if its really quite loud, if i tone down the volume a bit then it goes away, soozieq couldnt hear it on her IE8's either, maybe its just an IE7 thing?

 

[mark2410]

oh and re the sibilance i get it right off from the start, seconds 7 to about 12 are just full of it

 

[walkingman]

I listened to those portion again. Didn't hear anything. Perhaps my ears are not as sensitive to them as I initially thought.

 

[mark2410]

hmm it could be a fit issue as i still not feel the things really go in my ears well, they just soooo shallow but the olives are other wise excellent and give a better seal than anything else. maybe its just a IE7 thing, i hope not as other wise that may encourage moving to the 8.

otherwise i really really so like the sound of them, just the occasional song just becomes an unpleasant experience

Well I've just taken the plunge and ordered a pair of Sennheiser IE6's. These will replace my trusty Sony MDR-EX70LP, they've given me great service over 5 years but the cable bit the big one. No matter, it's time for a change. They'll be partnering a Cowon D2 playing mainly FLAC encodings of such disparate artists as Tom Waits, Dead Can Dance, Elbow, A-Ha, Mike Oldfield & Joy Division. Amongst others. I'm really looking for a jack of all trades and I do recognize the problems with this. I really wanted to buy the IE8's but they're just too expensive for me to justify right now (or ever?). Hopefully the IE6's and D2 make a good combination. I'll keep you all updated as I'm aware there's not too much solid info concerning the 6's. IE 7's & 8's there's plenty of talk, but not the the cheaper model. Thanks for the advice and tips in this thread folks. I'll be back.

[mark2410]

if the edinburgh meet ever happens bring them down, would be good to have a listen to them

 

[Solrighal]

That sounds interesting. I have ordered them through Advanced MP3 Players. Are they a Scottish company?

 

[walkingman]

They are located near Edinburgh.
