I think this is partially true, but as I listen too to the same kind of music you listen, I think the shures can do a great job. I am fully aware the e4c's lack the sub-bass rumble to make your brains shake, but they have a very dynamic mid-range and a very fast bass attack, with good (but slightly too fast for my tastes) decay. I listen to a lot of techno, trance, and some hip-hop, and the shures sure give them some punch.
If you like the "shake and bake" kind of bass, which will completely overwhelm you, don't go with the shures.
However, if you like some quick, dynamic and clear bass-lines with lots of midrange energy, go with the shures.
The treble is not proeminent on the shures, it's pretty accurate and smooth, but if you want to have some shrilling attacks with hard rock and metal, they wont fit you.

But, they sound great with alot of other stuff, as in classical and live performances like some Dave.... But on the other hand, i loved the way SF5's sounded with hard rock, but found them very uncomfortable. So i settled with Sennhieser Cx300's. not as much detail, but has the nice warm somewhat bassy sound i like when listening to rock. Thats what i reccommend... |
