Thanks very much for the valuable info Marcus.
I have owned CX300 but find the bass too boomy after a while. CX300's out of the box were great but I found them a bit too over powering after a few weeks.
I'm on a sony s639f so that could explain the slight harshness you experienced as well. The bundled supplied EX series earphones (EX85 I think) were surprisingly good but lacked mid range and were not noise isolating. These were my backup when the CX300's died. 4 months later the backup EX have died also. So that's the reason for the purchase of the DXT 80's, I wanted some earphones that are built well, noise isolating and obviously sound great, all for less than £100.
Perhaps the 80's aren't to my taste then, I can see the potential in the detail but I just find they have no depth or power.
The fit is perfect, so I can't see this being the issue, I tried the other bud sizes as well. I will definitely try and burn them in over the weekend and see if there is any change though.
In the mean time I was thinking of trying a pair of Klipsch Image S4's or Shure SE115's? Can you or anyone else recommend anything that may fit well with the Sony s639f? I mainly listen to electronic, indie & rock music.
Thanks again.
