I recently got a new pair of 595's. I have them plugged into a headphone amp and equalizer. To me, they just don't sound that great. At the same time, I added a Total BitHead amp to my ipod and UE 5 Pro's which produces stunning and spactacular sound. Are my ears just not refined enough?
I understand that IEM's are different than full size cans and the new 595's need broken-in, but initially shouldn't I be able to at least get some kind of reasonable idea of how they will sound overalll? The 595's sound muddy and flat on the BitHead too.
Because I have always used IEM's I guess I am biased to that experience but I definitely see myself picking up the ipod with bithead and ue5 pro's every time. I really think I should return the 595's. Any suggestions as to what I am missing with the full size cans?
