I just wanted to hear other peoples opinions on these phones because I am not happy with the pair I just bought. I am not an audiophile by any means as I have been enjoying some cheapie buds until now. But these new Sonys dont even sound as good as my cheap $12 pair of Sony Fontopias.
I was extremely disappointed with the performance after my first listen, the treble is EXTREMELY shrill and harsh with an overall distorted sound. The vocals are very "Lispy". There is definately plenty of detail but the harshness of the treble makes me cringe. There is no way any person could find these pleasant to listen to.
They dont sound like they are defective, they just sound cheap. I tried using the larger plugs, but there is not much difference. They are definatley seated in my canals correctly.
I am currently trying to burn them in. I have been playing them loudly for a few days straight with a mix of different types of music. So far though, there is not much noticable difference.
Does anyone have any experieces they could share? a few days seems like more than enough burn-in time. bottom line: DO THESE EVER SMOOTH OUT?
Any help is appreciated.
