Having bought into all the hype surrounding these phones, I am really disappointed with the sound.
I listen to mostly electronic music, psytrance, dub, ambient, soundscapes, idm.... and a bit of world, rock and folk.
I've spent the last couple of days trying all the tips and working on getting a good seal. Unfortunately, I can't get the soft flex to stay in my ears, the triple flanges hurt like hell, and i'm pretty sure I've got the black foamies in as far as they go, and when I tug, there is resistance and a pop when I remove them. (which I understand to be the sign of a good seal?).
Anyway, the sound is really uninspiring. The music sounds flat, dull and uninvolving. The bass is weak, but it may also be that my demands are too high (considering my full size is a DT770). I am really not enjoying any of my music on these, and it is a relief to take them out of my ears. I'm also having pain issues with them, and feel incredibly fatigued after 20 minutes. (I never had this problem with my e2cs).
Listening to my DT770 is heaven after this.
What's wrong??? The 'fun' factor is completely missing for me.
