In my view[or to my ears] that 'fake detail' is a product of the 2.5k peak , which is seemingly emphasized by the top end roll off.
Upping the highs and shaving back the 2.5k region does wonders for the mentioned lack of decay.
Coupling the above with some boost the the lower registers has provided me
with a weightier sound that is smoother and more airy without making me wince
on some of my hotter recordings.
As for the Shure E4 I have yet to make friends with the sound of these,
they just seem blast my ears with too much midrange.
One does become accustomed but going back to my Stax 404's after the E4
seems like coming of the telephone![maybe a bit of an overstatement

Canalphones can be frustrating at times....
Glad I have got my Etys sorted.

I've heard the same tracks with K1000's and R10's and the Ety extra detail just isn't real. The E4c is very detailed as universal fit IEMs go. This fake ety detail has been discussed in the past by others such as Bangraman. http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...tymotic+detail Beyond that, they have a serious lack of decay, particularly in the treble region. Decay, at least in my opinion is part of detail. For example, with the E4, when I hear a cymbal hit, it sounds like a cymbal. With the ER4s, it doesn't sound like a cymbal. You just hear this very hot "tst tst tst" noise that's not clearly identifiable. |
