I've been surprised by the amount of times I've heard these compared to the HJE900s, because they seem like two extremely different phones; V-Shaped vs slightly of neutral, from what I've read. I'm considering what my next IEM purchase will be, and these are a top contender, but I wonder whether the difference will be worth it over the Pannies. I listen to pretty much every music genre out there, so lean bass make me somewhat wary. Perhaps they can make a nice compliment though.
They're compared because they are two highly-recommended earphones at a similar price point (at least until recently), not because they share a sound signature. It's usually the people asking the questions comparing them, not those giving the answers as they really are very different earphones. If you like the balance of the Pannys I really wouldn't recommend the DBA-02 as a replacement but they should indeed be a nice compliment
Thanks for that! There actually have been a number of posts that compared the two in sound signature, at least earlier on in the thread. I suppose it wasn't as much the frequency response as it was the timbre and imaging/separation(I thought I read someone saying they are kind of like EQd HJEs), but still. Anyways, nice to hear they would make a good compliment, and I doo quite like how they look, especially for a plastic construction. I'm a sucker for all things blue =P
