The RE0s have landed..They have been in my ears for 3-4 hours. Quick out the wrapper thoughts
Tips:Fitment:sound
The, as arrived Med. Bi-flanges seem to be the only things working for me. I'm hearing that deeper is better (lol) but I'm still getting used to to this, but I think ive got “the fit”. OTE but the reliefs kinda stick out when i get the right canal angle, no prob.
Players
bit rates
woof, takes about 70-90% of the volume on the 3GS to really “get goin' ”
Samsung NC10 (netbook) sounds better at lower volumes
Pandora sounds great, im happy.
Some mp3 128kbps files sound ok, others not so hot,. even a 192 or so sounded less then great. So, seems very recording dependent.
E5s in the mail
Low
Happy with the quality:quantity ratio, some rap pounds pretty good, cant say I would want much more quantity, other wise it would seem tiring for 5-8hr days. making me wonder if the S4s are really the right apples for these oranges...
Mid
...no complaints at all, but I do notice that my ear seems to like a touch more mids (kinda lower mids), aren't the S4 mids close to if not more recessed then the RE0s? Just messing with the cheezy EQ in mediaplayer. maybe the E5 will help here?
Hi
good times, this was were I had to acclimate a bit, crispy, but by no means tough on my ears.
Having a great time listening to my tunes, so im pleased.
I'm just questioning if the S4s are really what I want to be trying, or if I should be trying anything else all together. So im pleased but may be open to suggestions for something with a touch more engaging mids, maybe a bit more pepper on those guitars and vocals, even a wide soundstage. yet im not willing to sacrifice clarity and separation, still around $80, I feel like im asking a lot. I'll probably “test” the S4s none the less.
Thanks for all your help everyone.
