I had a wee listen on the train on the way home last night.
I used the supplied tips at first, which as usual was a reasonable fit. But later changed them for my usual choice of JVC Spiral Dots.
I tried them hanging down and over ear. As one can see by the photos on the CA website they are a straight earphone so fit is dependent somewhat on ear anatomy.
I settled at first on hanging down, but later found comfort over my ears. At first try they were poking out a bit like the old triple fi 10. With a bit of rotation and time I found I could make them sit more flush than I had first thought.
Up or down will be decided I think on a case by case basis. But is good to have options.
As with any in ear fit the size of tips is important to getting the most out them. As mentioned I had to change (as usual with most earphones) to the JVC Spiral tips to get a proper audition.
I concur with what others have written about the sound.
Once I had gotten the fit, angle and tips right they presented themselves well.
At the low price end of the CA line up, I had some doubts how far they could push the sound quality and keep coherency with their other earphones and also a faith based on their past products and The Comet is no exception.
They seem accurate to the recording, a decent amount of body to them (I was worried they might be thin).
They seem fairly even and balanced overall. (Which would make sense If they did lean towards a general one size fits all signature for their entry level- more listening/time will tell)
As for sound stage, imaging and general sound signature (L, V etc) I will have to lisyen more as I was primarily focussed on fit at first, then later listening.
More to come...
And some pics from yesterday soon
