EDIT: Omg its a quad post
you mean "wrong" since that is really subjective. to my ears, at least, theres not much wrong with them. i know probably 100% of people disagree with me but i love the way they sound. i was not blown away by the DBA 02s and when i first heard them i was like "this is it? this is what everyones been raving about?"
Sound is EXTREMELY subjective.

I see earphone error in two lights: coloration (subjective) and incapability (objective). Some earphones just do things wrong or simply can't do things at all. This isn't a preferential thing. The earphone just doesn't output sound right. It is faulted. Coloration on the other hand is completely subjective and fits or does not fit personal preferences. The Triple.Fi 10 is a good example of an earphone with minimal real faults but has moderate coloration. In my eyes it's one of the better earphones on the marktet in terms of not doing things flat out wrong. However, it is quite heavily a hit or miss game in terms of sound signature due to the coloration. Many people complain about the V shaped response and recessed mids. That's subjective. It's simply part of the design of the earphone by UE's sound engineers. It doesn't present mid frequency information poorly. Mids are actually quite good on the earphone. It's simply the coloration that comes into play when people subjectively rank them. A lot of my ranking and reviews bypass coloration completely. I prefer to focus on pure operation as much as possible and then relate some subjective info to the way the earphone operates. Because of this approach, I have come to the conclusion that a LOT of midrange and high end earphones are largely unflawed. There's small shortcomings here and there, but they simply are not massively flawed like cheaper options. Instead the worth of these earphones comes almost purely down to coloration and personal preference.
