Just received the Sonys cd3000.
I haven't done a lost of listening but I cannot say I am impressed with them. Right out of the box they sounded dark and muddy. Later on they began to sound better. I would say they are a bit on the bright side and the bass is not very punchy. My other cans are the Beyers Dt-770 so I am used to the big bass they produce.
However I do get better bass and better sound overall from my speakers( Dynaudio Contour 1.1.)
I think the biggest difference between the beyers and the sonys is the sounstage, which is a lot better with the sonys.
But I think the real problem is the amp. It seems that the X-CANS V2 is not a good mach for the Sonys. Even with Mullard valves I don't like this amp very much and I think to extract all the potential of the Sonys I need a better amp.
Based on comments posted here it seems that the Perreux is the way to go........
I listen mostly to pop-rock/alternative and soft electronic music.
What do you guys think?
