still trying to make sense of my miracle experience...
i'm using them eq'd because stock, i simply cant get into them.
I have never been so polarized about a headphone before... i love them, i hate them.. it seems like every other time i put them on i feel differently abut them.
I cant make sense of the bass at all. its like its too much and not enough all at once. the bass notes sound muffled and without note definition, the overall sound of the earphone mids and highs are distant, and veiled. Unless i eq them i have no interest in their stock sound, and even eq'd I am perplexed. and when i eq them i feel i've gotten them sounding about as good as possible. eq'd they sound a lot better, but still seem lacking compared to the LCD-2, enough so that i just get frustrated.
while the lcd-2 seems to make everything sound good, i feel like song to song the miracles are very hit or miss.
overall i keep feeling like all the sounds are jumbling together, like there is not enough space for them so the definition of the music gets lost.
bass guitar passages, or heavy metal songs that are just effortless and sound as natural as if they were being played in front of me on the LCD-2, just sound jumbled, without definition, muddy, on the miracles
I keep feeling like i've almost got them sounding really good with eq, and then i listen again and i'm not happy.
maybe part of the issue is comparing them with the LCD-2's because they just dont sound as good... and mind you i'm driving the 2's out of a pico slim at the moment, so i can only imagine when the stacker II arrives how large the gap will become.
i can say this, if these were'nt customs, I'm almost certain that i would have put them up for sale by now.
and yet... these still seem to sound better than any universals i've ever heard. sometimes when i'm listening everything sounds really good.
good grief...
