I have to agree. I have about 48 hours of burn-in. And I'm using it with a C&C XO amp. For other genres is pretty decent, and the bass is nice. But for rock/metal/alternative, I don't enjoy it as much as my Grado 325is's. There's going to be a slight congestion just b/c they are closed phones. I hope this changes with more burn-in as well. But I still enjoy these headphones, and they're keepers in my book, simply to counteract that Grado sound that can sometimes be lacking bass on certain tracks.
I'm thinking about getting the GR8.

But then once you switch it to f.ex. something with a bit more electric sound it's completely different story. They have such a full sound and tight bass that it really makes you feel good. You don't have to move any further away from metal than Nine Inch Nails to realize that there is something to these. So I guess I'll keep these, but no way are these replacing my Alessandros either. By the way, I listen these from D2, but with only limited burn in so far so there's still hope. |
