Well,
I think this was the sound I was looking for. Been A/B ing with my HF5's. I know the HF5's aren't exactly top shelf, but the EX1000's really have a nice lush sound. Bass is tight and stays put. Highs are a little sibilant depending on the recording. Going to try some other tips to take the edge off the top end. I think I may actually end up keeping these. They are the Japanese version not North American.
Was really interesting to hear them next to my HF5. Always thought the HF5 were really clean, and they are, but the EX1000's really have great clarity and separation and are lush. If the HF5's are very finely drawn pencil drawing, the EX1000's insert shading and texture into the outline.
So hopefully these will work, seem pretty good. Now I want to get a new DAP - maybe the new Fiio X5iii - am hearing good things.
Take care,
john
