SR60s, Half the sound doesn't go into your ears (change the pads already)
and the sound sig is way too loose

Me too.

Strapped some Wilson Watt puppies to my ears and hated it....too heavy

 

[graphis_7]

md33, cx300, ep630 are muddy as hell, too colored, just unrefined....

ck7 very uncomfortable, and sounds uninvolving, detail is not as good as er6

I, uh, don't like that brand.

Haha

I don't really hate any hp's I've had a longer "relationship" with. Though I've got sort of a love/hate thing for my Grado SR60's. They're really not that comfortable esp. the headband pushing down on the top of my head. Sound wise it's the same. Every once in a while they sound absolutely gorgeous, other times sharp, thin, extremely sibliant and very fatiguing. Though I blame that more on the source/amp(which is non existent).

Don't really have any love for the Senn 595, Goldring 150, and the AKG K240. But since I don't own them or tried them out in a better environment I wouldn't say I hate them.

Oh, now I've come to think of a few more, but them same applies to them as to the stated above.

They have the Triports at Fry's?! I thought all they had were 274 employees just standing around blocking the aisles. Ok I'm on my way over right now.

I have said it before and I will say it again, ultrasone is terrible!!! Now maybe the way way expensive version is OK, but the $150 DJ1, $180 HFI-700 and beyond are simply crap!! grah I cannot stand them. no life in the sound whatsoever.

Bose in ear-phones are most certainly in ear-phones They don't isolate well, as is the common misconception when looking at their silicone tips, but they certainly sit in your ears and act like any other pair of earbuds.

you see what you just said is what earbuds are designed to do. this is what seperates IEM's (AKA canalphones) from earbuds...and these triport IE are no canalphones, they dont isolate at all, and they do indeed sit on your ear more like earbuds than any other IEM, which is why they are not in the ear.

you are simply saying that earbuds are IEM's when they simply are not, this is why technically IEM's are not called earbuds

HD595, killed my music. Music became very dull, details, and the fun lost.

 

[feckn_eejit]

WHY oh WHY must the stupid bloody Stax SR-X/MK3s be so unbearably perfect except for having no frequency response whatsoever at the two extremes?? Oh the agony!

As for my ridiculous SR-404 rig, why must it be so squeaky clean that it demands I crank the **** out of the volume, since it never sounds louder, just better... my Magneplanar speakers do the same thing, it's torture.

Haha, just turn em up till your ears ring like bells!

IEMs: I started this hobby with IEMs and now I can't stand them.
K81DJs: Boomy bass and no detail to sound

Non woody Grados for poor-glued on parts...otherwise it can sound good with good source and amp.

Any over the head cans for giving me head band hair. It's good that I work from home to avoid the embarrassment
