Yes they were made with professional impressions - The Red (right) one looks a little strange becuase my ear isnt shaped normally (I have an extra fold in the cartalidge - the audiologist asked if I had ear surgery at some point) both of them are very comfortable and fit snugly and the odd shape of my ear makes the right one very easy to put in and remove - unlike universial IEMs I have already fallen asleep with them in - something I have only done before with my eggos
OK - enough about my ears
To start with this is my first pair of higher end headphones and I'm not really great with the terminology so please forgive if I use some terms a little incorrectly.
I love the clarity. Little bits of music that were lost before that I can now hear. One thing I have noticed is that I can hear the breathing of whomever is singing in between line on several songs that I couldnt hear before.
I have been mainly listening to alot of Classic Rock - The Beatles, The Who, Yes, Jethro Tull, Queen - with a smattering of stuff that I started listening to in the late 80s - Adrian Belew/The Bears, The Police, The Traveling Wilburys, Def Leppard, Genesis - and a few tracks really stood out:
The Who - Baba O'Riley
Yes - Tempus Fugit
The Police - Bring On The Night
With all 3 of these tracks you have simular Bass (Sting, Chris Squire, and John Entwistle all are known for plucking their bass strings) with high vocals or synth above
Queen - '39
Jethro Tull - Life Is A Long Song
Traveling Wilburys - Cool Dry Place
3 songs with a nice full sound - lots of acustic guitars and simple vocals
Pete Townshend - Football Fugue
The Bears - On (remake of the King Crimson song)
Adrian Belew - The Rail Song
The Beatles - Elenor Rigby
These are just songs that I have always liked and thought they sounded even better.
One other song I want to point out is Trey Anastasio - Air Said to Me, upon listening to this one I noticed more of the filtering that was used on his voice - I thought it sounded more artificial then it had with cheaper phones and to be honest, I think the FreQs might have ruined this song for me
I will post a few more pics later - need to hunt down a few batterys for the camera - I was stupid and left it on
