You didn't pay for them :wink_face:
Well i payed for some of them, the shipping cost went over the amount you sent, but ya i see your point.
You didn't pay for them :wink_face:
Ill have to disagree with your first statement there. The treble is harsh scratchy and sibilant, not smooth at all, my ears get fatigued as soon as i press play. I wanted to let them burn in before i said anything but, i think they'v burned in long enough and they haven't changed a bit. I think Kiteki mentioned in another thread that new headphones go through a four phases, the first one being endless praise, im going to have to start the next phase, the beginning of the hate.
I seriously can not listen to these and don't think i will be using them again, the hurt my ears, sure the bass is detailed but the mids are recessed and the treble is harsh. But im not upset at paying $7 for them, how can i be?
Edit: just realized i sounded harsh there, didn't mean to. Also does no one else have a Samsung smartphone they compare these to? Im starting to feel crazy for liking the OEM's so much.
I just got mine out of the mail. I love them. The highs are seriously smooth. Seems like you could listen to these for a long time without fatigue. I don't know all the technical terms but you can really hear the separation in all the sounds. I'm listening to them with a rockboxed clip plus and I turned up the bass a little with the equalizer and it sounds awesome. I had been listening to my JVC HA-FX1X which I like, the bass is amazing but the highs are lacking (maybe not fully broken in yet). All I have are these, JVC Marshmallows, and the JVC HA-FX1X. These are the best iems i've had, now I have the Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 coming Wednesday, if the monoprices sound this good I wonder what the UE's will sound like.. It will be fun to see the difference.
I didn't say IEM's go through 4 phases that was someone else.
Anyway John In Cali thanks for your impressions I'm skipping these screaming cats then.
I was definitely impressed with the JVC FXC51 in sound quality (and coming from a real hi-fi company), but they broke on me and the bass was too much for my tastes.
Im not sure though, maybe its just me, because i feel like im solo in saying the treble is harsh, anyone else agree with me?
not me
OK I'm going to write a review on Wednesday, got the day off school due to the teachers striking. Be prepared, it might be cr*p. I'll compare it to my Miles Davis Tributes, as it would be a bit pointless stacking them up against my Etys.
