By the way, I've made this analogy in another post in regards to accuracy and musicality: it's like a book, technically it's accurate if you can pronounce each word along with all the hyphens, periods, commas, etc. but reading without emotion and character takes away from the book. |
Yes, you are OBVIOUSLY going for what the MAJORITY says on Head-Fi, but you fail to mention that SO MANY people are holding on to Etymotic ER4s claiming that those are great sounding with excellent bass. The ER4s are clynical, yes, very accurate, but FAR from being musical. Congratulations on subscribing to the majority idea on Head-Fi, it's the equivalent of mass market consumerism except for the enthusiast market. |
As to your argument using Bose, Bose is garbage. When passages start getting complicated, it can't resolve all the parts of the music. Clear and simple. |
Bose is not only colored but it just can NOT handle things that are complicated. Apparently you don't understand this thus think that the only thing wrong with Bose is the coloration. |
Just from your Bose analogy alone makes me question your thinking. Yes you are entitled to your opinions but apparently your opinions goes as far as a lot of what you read (aka hype) on Head-Fi and not from practice, I'm presuming this since you don't seem to understand the difference of resolution and coloration. |

I am going to get the IE7 this week a very highly regarded dynamic IEM. If it blow me away I will write about it. If it has the same flaws I perceive with most dynamics I will write about it too. |
