I tried the tri-flanges. The lowest of lows completely disappeared. I agree that I should give them more time...but I will have to admit, my expectations were probably too high. For the limited amount of time that I HAVE to wear iems (biking, commuting to work/school), I think I can settle for a much cheaper fun sounding cx300. I leave my sr-60's at work and my rs-1s at home...so I guess I was wrong to think a pair of iems would/could replace either of them.

The foam tips dampens out a lot of the punch, softening the sound, and sometimes some foam gets in front of the opening of the sound bore and takes out a bit more sound there. Also you need to let the E4s burn in just a bit, and your ears to adjust to the armature sound. Give them at least 2 weeks of listening everyday before you write them off. It took me months to get use to the ER-6i, my first armature drivers. |
