thanks again. the philips might not have the sub bass rumble i am looking for. i guess it will sound something like the a151. 

 
Ymmv, but imo they have quite an impressive low end for BAs, since Philips put a passive EQ into the Y-splitter.

silver bullets and tandems came yesterday. first impression on both is good, but both are somewhat thick in the midrange. sb more so. i will give both more listening time today and write here what i like and what not, so maybe we can narrow it down.

From your location I would recommend Xears TD4, you might like you have in your collection for 30 Euros.

ok, so i gave the tandems and the silver bullet a few hours of listening time and i like the bullets a hair better. the tandems have some peaks in the highs, so that are not relaxed enough. both are a little dark sounding. i would like a little more airy signature not as thick. but the bullets already have a quite relaxed signature, like i am searching for. feel free to give me more advice.

From my experience I find that dynamic driver do better subbass than ba so you might want to look into that category. I would personally reccommend the gr07 or if you are feeling rich the ex1000 as I find both pretty airy and have very good bass rumble without sounding dark. Signature wise they are both pretty neutral/warmish without sounding dark but the gr07 do have the tendency to sound slightly sibiliant but that is subjective.

 

[sofastreamer]

already had ex1000 and found the lower mids too warm.

no one? come on, there must be phones out there, you would describe as:
 
- boring
- not exciting
- not in your face
- not energetic
- everything smoothed out
- lifeless
- unspectacular
aso
 
something like a brighter sounding silver bullet?

If you really want lifeless and boring, try the Ety MC3/5. They suck the lifeblood out of everything and make it sound like zombie elevator music.

ok, i read the ety reviews and believe, that they will not have the bass rumble i am looking for. the more i listen to the silver bullets, the more they grow on me. really fatique free to my ears.  a little less veil in the mids and they would perfectly match.

already own the philips, much too lively and energetic for my taste.

 

[Prakhar]

oh... Okay

 

[jarrett]

If you already bought the Tandem and Silver Bullets, haven't you spent your budget?

 

[sofastreamer]

yes, but i feel not satisfied yet, so i need to to spend more.

What was wrong with the tandems?
