Maybe u could suggest a track you like / am familiar with?
The álbum Assassine(s) from Celeste
Oooh wow Metal haha.. The track "(A)" sounds just about perfect off my iFi Diablo + IE900 pairing. However, I do find myself wishing for even more bass for the rest of the album. I do think that full sized headphones work better for myself when it comes to hard rock or metal. It's been years since I've listened though~ trying to preserve my ears haha.
Thank you for the answer, I have tried full sized headphones but the in-ear ones are more comfortable for me.
It has very good bass. I've never found the recommended bass on Harmon Kardon curves satisfying, thankfully these come with more! But when listening to rock / metal, the tendency is to wish for even more~ Just saying that it's not gonna replace basshead cans. But for IEMs, the bass on these are right up there, my MEST II just edges it out a tiny bit when it comes to how deep into my skull it punches (I think due to the dBC drivers).
I agree. For me IE900 is up there with Z1R and EVO as the best quality/quantity IEM bass on the market right now.
The truth is that I have decided on them since I have already had or tried many good headphones (ie80s, fh5, fh7, fa7, fa9, ath m50x, etc...) and I am looking for something that is top for a few years.
For what it’s worth, I also listen to rock / metal and I find the ie900 fine for it.
I bought it in January and returned it in a month.. there is some little background hiss when you listen at a low level volume which is annoying between tracks or when music pause.
I'm listening with GO Blu and hear no hiss with balanced out. I guess it depends how sensitive you are to hiss. Sound quality is outstanding.
Sorry to hear about this. Yes you can. The packaging is not required, just the product.A sad day for me. My worst fear came true today. Right driver of my IE900 is dead. I was using it to watch Netflix and paused to make coffee. When I came back, the right side has no sound at all. Tested with different cables and still no sound. When I move it around my ear, I could hear it fizzling like short static noises. Five months of daily use.
I contacted my local dealer and they said to send it over so I will be doing that tomorrow. However, I don’t have the outer packaging that shows a picture of the IE900 since I ripped it apart while unboxing it. Besides that, everything is intact, like the box and all the accessories including certificate. @ericpalonen do you know if I can still claim the warranty? (I should be more gentle and not rip the outside)
I really really hope this wont happen to me again. I said it before but with the IE600 coming out it is even more true that i cant justify having a 1300€ IEM that could break any day after warranty leaving me with basically small unrepairable paperweights. If it would happen again to me i would probably just sell the replacement and buy IE600 instead.A sad day for me. My worst fear came true today. Right driver of my IE900 is dead.
