"not worth 10x price over CX500" lol

I didn't like them either, I thought they were cold and lifeless, not what I was expecting at all. In the end I sold them and he took my Denon C551's in their place... So I'm hoping that the IE 7 doesn't have that same brightness. I'd toyed with the idea of getting the IE 8, except they would have cost £60 ($120) more, and I didn't think the tunable bass port was worth the extra money. I assume the IE 7 should have plenty of bass already. I guess I'll have to wait and see. EDIT: I really hate waiting. I don't even like typing the word |

Cold and lifeless, not with that bass which is why I ask if both you and your friend received knockoffs? |
