hi guys, i'm going to buy either of these earphones.
i really need help on deciding which to get.
i really like a warm and balanced sound - i like my bass to be rounded and fat and not "sharp"; and my treble to not be overly jangly but still being clean and clear. i prefer a wider soundstage so i can listen to the individual instruments (i'm a music player).
the bands i listen to are: Radiohead, The Strokes, Phoenix, Gallows, Coldplay, a little electro here and there. basically everything indie/alternative.
the price points are more or less the same for these @ the site i'm getting it at.
unless you guys have a better site that i don't know of?
i was planning on getting the Sennheiser CX870 which sounds perfect imho. very balanced sound. i previously had a Sennheiser CX95 but it died on me. i know the CX870 -> CX400ii is a little of a downgrade but the site i'm getting it from is OOS on the 870's :\
anyway i saw a few good reviews on the CC-51 but i'm really worried that it doesn't have the warm sound that i want. is the bass good and rounded? how does it compare to a 400ii?
really need help on this guys, would really appreciate it if someone with experience with these 2 could help me!
