I just received these today. I baught them from EsthetiX, who was by the way, a great pleasure to deal with.
first ill list a couple of the issues i have with them thus far.
Right now, 3 minutes out of the box, the cable wont stay off my face, and is very stiff, but thats ok i have dealt with worse, it just takes time.
unsatisfactory mids, as a first impression of the mids, if youve ever heard a track called 'Sure Thing' by Saint germain, youd know it has one killer rimshot in it, this is almost completely missing, but i would still say its made up for by the smooth highs.
The highs are smooth yes, but there is an appearent rolloff, wich isnt too close to the mids, but still not up there with my prolines. (for $100, still VERY satisfactory
)
if i could somehow mate my prolines with these RP-21's i think id be pretty near to heaven.
The bass is also pretty leveled out, its not lacking in some of my more bassheavy tracks. but when the track calls for it to be plentiful, it seems to be a tad muddy. but on tracks with a lighter not so up front bassline, its pretty damn smooth for a $100~ headphone. once again, very satisfied.
inside of the cup, the padding seperating my ears from the driver mounting, has an edgy kind of uh.... i dunno, but i feel like im surrounding my outer ear with forks, but only on the very outer edge, it doesnt hurt or anything, its just kind of distracting.
The earpads are nice and heavy duty feeling for being what they are, and so far, the top of my head only itches a little bit from the headband. wich isnt as bad as my prolines and that little dinky pad were, for those with hair: beware the itch.
Thanks Esthetix, i am enjoying these
P.S.
i think im going to go and try to stick my prolines cable into my rp-21's
see if i can get a RProline-2100.
