I must be missing something with my quadbeats 2's.  I have very little base and when I increase it,  it just gets distorted without any punch,  the mids and highs are good but lows are almost non-existent.

The G2 reminds me a lot of the Shure 940 signature wise (not sound stage wise). Which means they are bass shy so understand big45-70's comments. The Delta is not bass heavy and has a bit more bass body. But for those who like neutrality and mids/treble these do the trick.I also do think these are one of the best IEM's I have seen included with a smart phone or portable player.

Throwing this out again - any chance someone can do a comparison between the QB2 and the Brainwavz Delta?

 
They are very similar, with the QB2 having a little more midbass bloat stock that is easily tamed. Both very good.

 

[nipit]

They aren't bad. The thing which annoys me is when I make volume higher it stars sounding really distorted as if mids, highs and lows were gathered in one frequency.

 

[quartertone]

QB2 bass light?! Something's odd here.

 

[ozkan]

It isn't bass light but it doesn't have that "whoomp" like like philips 3590. It is that midbass all over the place 

 

[quartertone]

Sure, it has warmth rather than slam. Still quite clear though.

Did you do burn-in at really LOUD volume? Might be the drivers got damaged...

how is the comfort? I find that iems with the angled insertion (AT, Fidelio) can cause some issues if you cant find the right tip/angle.

They're quite comfortable and insertion shouldn't be a problem. Stays in place well because they're very light.
 
UPDATE:
I have modified my MH1: pinhole @ bass port vent and foam damper @ strain relief opening.
My MH1 has pulled farther away from the QB2. Minimised bass quantity, much tighter mid bass, and clearer mids.

Thanks for the response. I will try them when they hit amazon. Really I am in love with the quadbeat1 + comply tips
 
btw i love the breaking news on the $20 headset battle

Man, did I forget about this thread. Thanks for the Delta comparison, bhazard and dweaver!
 
Anyway, after a bit less than two weeks, these have really grown on me. I'm not sure if it's actual burn-in or I've just got used to their sound, but I really like them now. The slight midbass-bloat is still there and they still aren't perfect with extremely busy music, but I don't think any IEM in this price range is. I'm not using the original tips - they sound fine but aren't very comfortable.
 
I might write a longer review on these, but I'm not sure when I'll have the time.

Quadbeat 2 Special Edition is already out! According the ad, it has the same frequency responce graph as the regular version. So the question is: what's the difference? (The female singer in the ad suggest more mid-range.)

isn't it just a color difference, like the Quad and Quad SE ?

Why would a picture of a singer in an ad for headphones mean anything at all?
