Hey Dsnuts,
I'm having difficulty deciding between these and the ATH CKS77. To give you an idea, I listen to a wide variety of music but if I were to narrow it down
I'd say I listen to Rap/Hip-hop (Ranging from beat oriented stuff like Kanye West to more vocal/instrumental like Frank Ocean), Alternative Rock (Two Door Cinema Club & the like),
Electro (Avicii & the like), as well as some Orchestral Scores. Out of all of those though, Rap/Hip-hop takes up a larger chunk of my music collection. I already own the
ATH WS55 but want something more portable hence one of these in-ears. In terms of the sound, I think the WS55's are pretty good, but I find that a lot of songs sound quiet
and I have to turn up the volume (is this what people refer to as a muffled sound?) as a result the headphones leak noise and I can hear them pretty clearly if someone else wears them.
So between the CKM500 and CKS77 which one do you think would suit me the best and doesn't leak as much sound as I want to use them in public transit and such? I was originally
going to get the CKS77 as I do like bass, but after reading some impressions of the CKM500 it seems like a good choice too. Argh, so hard to choose...
