I was listening to the soundtrack to "Braveheart", this morning, on my D-EJ925 and 888's, and noticed a LOT of crackling on the low bass notes, and the volume wasn't that loud. Now, after listening to this CD with my D22SL "Eggos," those notes simply thunder and sound perfect. (great cans, BTW)
I've been using my 888's for over a year, and never really noticed this shortcoming with really, deep bass tones. Do all earbuds have this crackling problem with loud passages? How do the Etys handle wide dynamic range passages? I know this recording has a very wide frequency and dynamic range, and, maybe even a bit 'unsafe' for some headphones. Or, is this simply a lack of decent low-end frequency response on the part of the 888's?
I certainly don't want to subject my precious 888 buds to any more of this sort of thing, and, now that I'm aware that this CD has such intense musical passages, I'll be more careful in the future..
