WOW! right outta the box, EVOs do bass. they sound a little sterile & spitty at volume, but the bass kicks with more authority on tracks than it does on bass boosted versions on my presonus HD7s! i can finally hear the infrasonic tone on woofer cooker. it's still at a low volume, but it's there. the treble's ruthlessly revealing of ticks & pops on vinyl, but that's a good thing for cleaning them up in audacity.
it's only been a few minutes, but i think they've already loosened up a bit. they already sound clearer overall and deeper than my old cans. if they're only going to get better with break in, i'm glad i read a lot of reviews.
i ESPECIALLY like the 3 foot cord!!! it's just right for throwing in my gym bag, and isn't flimsy, though it's a pain to connect one handed, but as a safety feature, it's better that the jack isn't mounted solid in the cans.
nicely balanced, detailed, and easy on the ears sound. they do clamp a little hard, but the force is distributed across big pads, & even with glasses and using the stock pads, they aren't bad, but that's what i thought with my AKG K55s too. it's looking like they'll be the best headphones i've ever owned so far. i really like the bass balance. it's there, but isn't head shaking overpowering. for semi-open cans too, they offer decent isolation. the bass doesn't sound particularly loose to me either. listening to jean le jeux et son orchestre by doop and the bass is thumping nicely and the analogue "buzz bass" texture doesn't sound blurry, but tight & dry. maybe it will loosen up after break in, but it sounds nice enough to my ears, especially compared to what i've owned so far. WOW! i can really hear some low level midrange texture in orbit's the beat goes on that i've never heard before.
hopefully the dry analytical sound will gain some air after break in.
thanks for your help headfi.
they're going to be blasting white noise all night all week.
