No direct comparisons yet though. I like the 7 and might well be the long-term guinea pig. They will all be cheaper than the MSRP even right off the bat. The $299 IE7 is already pre-order for $222 so they will be quite competitive price-wise as long as they are SQ-wise. I am looking to replace something that is better than an E500, Triple.fi or ER4S. My ES cabled/S adapted SF 3's which shells have just about disintegrated and are not comfortable enough to just replace the drivers. So, I will be holding to an even higher standard of SQ and if the Senn works for me it should be good enough to replace your Shures. That is the hope though. The reality remains to be seen. |
