LOW END CUSTOM VS HIGH END UNIVERSAL
Anybody have an opinion? The only comparison I could find between the two is in this article http://homerecording.about.com/od/au.../livewires.htm
The reviewer states that E500 has the same amount of bass as livewires (strangely, considering e500 has 3 drivers and livewires only have 2) and the sonic differences between the two are that e500 have better mids and are less bright than the livewires.
Currently the e500 seems like a relatively better deal and I just want further clarifications before I make up my mind.
1) How comfortable is it? Do you experience any microphonics while walking or jogging?
2) What kind of music best suites the e500 (or vice versa)? I listen to alot of rock/trance so which would I like better?
3) Is an amp necessary for the e500 to sound good? If so, what kind of budget would those amps fall into?
***Assume that e500 and livewire are equal in price
All suggestions are appreciated
Thanks
