Rock should work fine. I like bassy tunes to punch out them drivers but anything that throws out the sound should be fine.
I followed your advice and it's in progress and look how happy my assistant is LULZ
Edit: I came back, it's not the broke-in period, but it's actually caused by me not changing the volume like i should. I don't use my headphones, so i use JVC marshmallow earphones and they need to be cranked up on my IPOD to get the sound out of it. I was using the same volume. Imagine JVC's Maximum volume on Ipod = WS-55/M-50's mid volume on Ipod. That what caused all the Distortion. Simply i had my volume up too high for the headphones!!!
Okay, now that's out of the way here's my Review:
Bass quality: 9/10 NOW LET ME EXPLAIN something. WS-55 do NOT i repeat do NOT vibrate like the BEATS STUDIO when there's a bass present. A lot of people think vibration is a good thing, but it's not, it could cause muddiness of the actual music, which i don't like. WS-55 dual air chamber design prevents muddy sounds that you would get from high priced Beats STUDIO or PRO. I can actually hear different bass tunes, when they change during the song. Now with my fiiO E5 amp, MUHAHAAHAHAHAAH eargasmic.
Sound quality: around 9 - 9.5/10 It really is a whole different experience for me. I never knew all these sounds existed!
here's a Test for you WS-55 users. Listen to "Get buck in here" and listen to the sound in the beginning. The bass-like effects goes left to right,
back and forth. Since i used cheap earphone to listen my ipod i never hear all the details. I do have ATH-M50, but it's too bulky to carry around, so i decided to purchase an earphone pair (JVC marshmallow earphone from walmart). Also i was listening to some old albums from the 90's 80's and on some tracks you can hear panning effects they had to use in order to fit all the instruments together (around early 70's to 80's). The reason why i didn't give a 10 is simple, the highs were a little rough for my taste, but that doesn't mean i'm right. Everyone's different
Built quality: 8/10 Anyone will tell you that a pair of good headphones are those that can isolate ambient sounds without even turn up the volume. These headphones do a very good job sealing the sounds. If you have a pair, place the headphones on your thigh and see if most of the sounds are contained within the headphone. On my ipod, the volume is at 2/3 bar and the sound is already full on my ear, whereas my JVC earphone it was around 75 to 80. I've noticed that My left side had way more sound than my right side at first. Now it's getting more evened out, however it's still noticeable. I wish it had a little bit more pad on the top side.
Comfort: 8.5/10 Personally, i can wear the headphone for 5 hours without any problems, but the top side i can use a little more cushion.
Overall experience was good, but the slight lob-sided sound decreased my headphone experience.
