It still confuses my why people waste money on connecting from a headphone out to an amp... You need a true line out to justify any sort of gain in quality.
wow never heard of these... they look pretty sick though... 3ple drivers?? nice!
^I am jealous. How does it sound?
flying lotus huh? good music taste how do the sm3 sound with that type of music?
They sound wonderful. Very open, spacious, airy, detailed... And they have a decent bass for BA triples. I'm an admitted basshead who's always preferred dynamic driver earphones over BA, and these are the first BA's I've really enjoyed through and through.
Oh man, they do great with Flying Lotus. With my FX700's, the treble details can be borderline harsh/ bright, but these preserve all the detail and do it with smoothness. You really hear each instrument/sound in their complex and layered music. Their bouncing and playful basslines are especially fun to follow.
So you're a fan too? This is the first album of theirs I've purchased or listened to. I heard a special about them on NPR, and had to get it right away. Great stuff.
@Rawrster,
Are those the Ety tri-flange tips? Before I go the custom route with my DBA-02, I want to test out a few different tips and see how I like them. Do those tips fit properly out of the box, or did you have to trim/decore/etc them to fit? Thanks!
