[The-One]

When i tried to go back to some cheap bud and cans I just found zero bass, and at times i have thought the E4 was lean on the bass side! Or bass was muddy. And pretty much all of the music was siblant and piercing at a higher volume since it offers no isolation.

Is all cheap stuff like this? It sure makes me grateful for my current E4 lol, although i gotta try a high end can sometimes to see what good ones are like.

Good start for a "All Hi-End headphone appreciation thread".

No pain, no gain [size=xx-small]+dB that is.[/size]
