Good to hear you like the IE7...IMO they keep getting better and better! I am interested to hear about the detail comparison in a week.

There is more bass than the PFE but everything is balanced too. I'll need to give it more burn-in for sure. The PFEs sound smoother to me.. also seem to have lower background noise because the driver reacts so fast. The IE 7s have a more visceral bass impact without the mid bass hump of the Turbines. In fact this sounds more like a really good sub in the head type of bass than the Turbines. The sound stage on the IE 7 is larger than the PFE amped with gray filters. At this point there is a lot to like about both the PFE and IE 7. The bass and imaging of the IE 7 is better for sure. The mids and highs are good too. Everything sounds bigger with the IE 7. |
