Hey Head-Fi'ers. I was in the local Best Buy tonight and figured out I could disconnect their display headphones up under the shelf and plug them into my own source (iPhone4 via headphone out at the time). I hadn't noticed the Rocketfish Atmos on previouse visits. I plugged in and put them on. And dang, was I actually rather impressed. I listened to Apple Lossless versions of Adele - Someone Like You, and Wale - Focused along with a 320kbps mp3 of Rihanna - You da One. Just prior to this I listened to the first two of those songs on some Senn 428 cans at the same display. The Rocketfish set definitely added some bass to the picture but overall they were simply great. All three tracks sounded very clear to my ears and still had great highs and mids on the Adele and Rihanna cuts even with the added bass.
Now I am certainly no audiophile as of yet. Though I am thoroughly enjoying my MBP > E10 > M50 setup along with my LOD > E6 > same M50s on the phone that I purchased after my initial searching and learning here and elsewhere. That being said, those are my first "real" phones so I am learning. The reviews on the Atmos honestly aren't great internet wide, but though they retail at $120 in Best Buy, I can get a set on Amazon for $25 shipped! I have $26 in gift card hanging around on Amazon so I am pretty sure I'm gonna bite that bullet and give them a whirl. I mean for $25 how could I hardly go wrong, right? Right...!?
Couldn't find any other reviews or mentions after a few different search queries here on Head-Fi. Anyone out there given these a shot???
