1. how many headphones have you owned and listened to for prolonged periods of time?
2. area from 2 to 5khz is boosted that much, hm, so why am i hearing the Sennheiser veil pretty clearly as opposed to UM2?
3. Honestly what are you trying to prove here?! Headphones are generally made for majority of the public to listen to, and etymotics are not something that MAJORITY will like. To me they are too bright. What does that state about my ears? I am a guitarist, I am well acquainted with sound of many acoustic and electric instruments, and the way Etymotics reproduce them in MY ears is not natural, not even talking about how those instruments sound in a concert hall. Right now all you proved is that you like Etymotics better. Not that anyone doubts that.

Every time any sound enters your ear, (assuming you're not some kind of mutant) the area from around 2 to 5kHz or so is boosted above the rest of the frequencies. So when you have an IEM that has a drop-off of 10 or in some cases nearly 15dB in the same area, it's going to sound terrible. Well, to me it sounds terrible. No, nor will I ever, because I have enough experience to know that I wouldn't like them at all. |
