Hello Audiophiles,
I skimmed through the threads and the different reviews here, but I strongly think my Philips she9550 "Rich Bass" is not living up to it's reviews
I just bought it like 3 days ago. I'm dismayed with it's performance when I finally compared it to it's sibling she9700 "High Definition" which performed way better, the bass was way better. What surprises me is that according to all the reviews I've read, the she9700's bass is not that great and the she9550 (my model) has definitely good bass. To quote
"The bass is almost overwhelming" from the thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/456494/30-iem-review-philips-she-9550-ultimate-ears-metrofi-170-sennheiser-cx-300-ii-precision
Well to my dismay it is the other way around, the she9700 has better bass than my not so overwhelming she9550 :/ I'm a bass player and it's almost all that matters to me.
I only hope that this performance is just 'initial', same as my friend's car audiosystem that has an initial "break-in" performance but over a short time will get better. I also notice my rubber plugs is not the same as my friend's she9700, mine is like stiffer and medium sized plugs is hurting my left ear while his same medium sized plugs isnt. -_-
I can't further explain how good or bad the bass is but you get the picture, I have to increase volume to get the kick that I want but then it would be too loud. It's like the treble is louder than the bass? Anyway, your opinions will be appreciated. Thanks guys! Happy new year!![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
