I'm liking these very much after a few days of use. When I bought them, I told myself I would not keep my Panasonics and these. I would keep the ones I liked more. The DBA's are superior in sound. But I also love the punchy fun sound of the Panasonics. I enjoy metal music more on the Panasonics, and it is 50% of my listening. Listening to more mellow rock on the DBA;s is just short of amazing. I can't tell you how many times I've listening to The Wall, Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here. But listening to them on the DBA's made my jaw drop(not an exaggeration, it really did). It's kind of like fine dining compared to a greasy Carl's Junior burger. Sometimes you are just in the mood for the burger instead. Metal music on the HJE's are a Carl's Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger for me.
So here is my problem. Do I keep the ones that amaze me with the sound quality, except I find the bass slightly lacking, or keep the fun ones?
I know the answer, keep both.
Another wrinkle: I've got TF10's coming Monday.
I love dilemmas like these
