Dear friends:
This is my first post, and I must apologize for mi english. Hopefully you can understand me...
And now to the problem. At the begining of this year, while I was working in Japan I bought an iPod photo and decided to buy a good pair of earphones. After surfing the web and having found this place, I read all the reviews and decided to go for a pair of Shure E5c that where in stock in the Apple Center near my hotel. My first impresion was the large amount of bass that a tiny driver can provide. But after a couple of days of listening I discovered a kind of "blurr" in the midrange that slowly became unacceptable to me. In the meantime I tried the complete assortement of sleeves that came with the earphones, to no avail. In fact I found that the triple flange ones were absolutely incompatible with me.
After returning to spain, I decided to order (from Headroom) a pair of Etymotic ER4P, which I'm using since then, with very good results. Anyway, I miss the deep bass from the Shures.
I have been re-reading the coments in the forum and I can't find a single reference to this midrange problem in the E5c, so what do you think -headphone gurus- is happening? Any suggestions?
I really hate to have such a piece of technology (and a so expensive one) inside a box...
Thanks very much in advance
