So I got my FW01's .....I'm rather disappointment. They don't sound worth 400 dollars. I expected so much but they don't return a whole lot. They sound a lot like my Shure se215. They especially let down with classical music, where all the instruments seem pushed back and muffled. They only really sound good with slow acoustic music, but not much else. I'm going against what I generally believe and am letting them ''Burn in" to see if it helps. Otherwise, I don't know what could be wrong. I'm using a Fiio X1 DAP, entry level but still solid. Tried an amp with it. No change. I just thought from all the hype talk that they'd wow me, but they havent yet. Any advice guys? I want to like these.
I think my main grievance is that classical music doesn't sound very immersive with these. Part of the reason I bought them was that I was reading how good the FX 850 were for classical, but like I said, it seems like all the instruments are pushed back and distant. With my other cans, it feels like I'm surrounded by the orchestra, not sitting in the farthest back seat in the theater like with these.
