I am still listening, so i cant post impressions yet.

 

[powertoold]

Wow, your's looks totally different than mine hehe. Do they even fit well?

 

[jgonino]

I cant get them in I dont think i am doing it right.

You have to stick the canal portion in with the earphone twisted forward. Then, as you insert it, you twist it towards the back. Also, make sure you know which one is the right and left.

Note: Plug the FreQ in and turn on the music BEFORE inserting them. You don't know how loud it'll be.

Did you do your impressions using the self-impression kit?

 

[jgonino]

Alright, I got them in.


First impressions Listening through my ipod hooked to my Go-vibe v7 max via an LOD. Music: METAL!!!!


Bass! - I mas not really expecting much from an armature, but boy these have great bass to me. I have dt-770s and ultrasones, and i think these have enough. Not as much impact, but great quantity.

Mids - I can hear the electric guitars, as well as the vocals. The person singing sounds like they are in your head; its really creepy! The guitars have some real grit, and the vocals sound smooth, like they are sitting in the room singing to you.

Highs - I really think these are neutral. Much more present than my old e500's, and also much less annoying than the Ultrasones. The cymbals are not as defined as i would like, but thats just mine own personal opinion

no, mine are professional.

The isolation on these is amazing!!!! I had some music playing on the laptop, and now i cant even hear it. The double bass drums are really starting to kick. I even heard some low bass rumble say below 30 hz. Overall, I think these are great.

 

[powertoold]

The FreQs are great for classical music

I think you'll like them more as time passes. After you get used to the fit, comfort, and lightweight of a custom, it's so nice, ahhh. I'm jealous. I don't have my FreQ right now - sent it off

 

[jgonino]

Im going to try them with my iphone now.

 

[jgonino]

Alright, the iphone sounds pretty damn good.

Then i plugged them into my Corda Headfive. And i almost crapped a brick. I was listening to through the fire and flames by dragonforce. I really dont want to sound like im exaggerating, but for an iem, these are pretty awesome.

 

[powertoold]

So what don't you like about them, heh

there is a bit of sibilance in the high end, and sometimes the mids can get a little muddy. Also, they are WAY too sensitive. I think i might have to buy a 75 ohm resistor from APS.
