Well, I did go off the deep end (no pun intended), and I actually wrote a post exactly the same as yours, and even asked Gavin if I could buy some Silvers
, then I was walking through town and I could hear ambient noise popping through, so even though these tips felt like they were giving me an ear fisting, they were not sealing.
Then as I walked through the park back home I turned to look at a bird as it happens (an actual bird, with wings, not a fit chick) and one ear sealed and then all of a sudden I could hear all of this beautiful bass. As soon as I turned my head back, I lost the seal. That was when I emailed Gavin and asked which Comply I should order, next day they arrived (I think I paid the same for delivery as the tips), and then that was that. No fiddling around, simply roll 'em, stuff 'em, hold 'em for a sec and I get a rock solid seal every time. I do have big ear canals.
I actually arrived home to these and a set of Fostex TH900's. For my tastes, I prefer these and in reality Mr. (I assume) Cravenz it was you that did that massive analysis and spent precious time generously explaining. It was after that post that I thought "Well, let's wait and see". So in reality, thank you Sir (I assume) as if I had cancelled the order I wouldn't even know what I was missing.
Now I am considering ordering another pair, just in case, redundancy....'ya know...
I will write a review, however as I mentioned it is just going to be a string of superlatives.
I think these are like the B-2, you know, the stealth bomber that could have some secret anti gravity engine or componentry as really it shouldn't be able to fly but it does, just like these!
Totally rediscovering every single tune I have ever owned. Sometimes they are so good I feel like I want to vomit, like I am on a roller coaster or something. I will never even attempt to guess at how they did this, but they did. A big bass drum sounds like there is someone next to you playing a big bass drum. I am actually almost infatuated with this product.
Listening to Sixtoo - Jackals and Vipers through 'em right now, some big sounds in that epic and these are making them even bigger! I have this perception of these already, or an analogy that I can't stop thinking about. Whereas headphones in general seem to usually inject sound waves into your ears, these seem to pull your entire brain into the shells and treat it to licks of ecstasy, the feeling, not the drug...actually, both
I am learning that this is all down to taste, these are my favourite flavour, and if one does like bass then one will not be disappointed at all, in my own bass head's opinion
I have not EQ'd anything.
Thanks Cravenz!
Northrop Grumman, check your 6!
