My Icarus 3 is coming in today, my friend got his last week and I'm not overly impressed by them, debating about just putting them up on classifieds and not even unpack them
there's always someone else who will buy them!!My Icarus 3 is coming in today, my friend got his last week and I'm not overly impressed by them, debating about just putting them up on classifieds and not even unpack them
Interesting, somewhat at variance with some of the other opinions..I'm not overly impressed by them

What didn't impress, anything you care to elaborate on?
Cheers.
I'm sure that not only me, but others would appreciate that a lot.Do you want a full write up compared to the Master, Delta 2 and Lyra 2
Alright, I'll finish putting this motor back together while I form my thoughts an I'll put together a trinity bedtime story tonight for youI'm sure that not only me, but others would appreciate that a lot.
Thanks.
All I know is I prefer them to the master, in part because they are smaller but I find it has a better bass response whilst remaining very clear. May be the gunmetal filters I'm using but I don't want to change them now

I think we all interpret the sound differently in our brains. The sound quality is very subjective therefore we need a reference point. I have certain sound tracks that I use to test my headphones and I was comparing the Icarus III with my other bassier headphones, such as the IE80 and JVC FX-750. Perhaps muddy was not the best way to describe the bass of the Icarus III. The bass on the IE80 feels more controlled compared to the Icarus III. The Icarus III can produce near the same amount of bass as the FX-750. I also agree that the bass on PM4 is very good but the bass on Icarus III feels much boomier.That isn't the case for me with the Icarus III. The bass is insane, deep and clean with a nice punchy attack. The bass is far and away better than the PM4 and Master IMO. I could maybe agree that with the Silver filter there is a tad bit too much bass, (As a basshead, I can't believe I'm saying that, lol), but even then it is never muddy.
If it makes anyone feel less worried - I placed an order for the Icarus III last night using the parting gift code and got a tracking number this morning. It's just preshipment info, but I have never had an order from TA take longer than a day to start shipping once tracking was received.
