I'm kind of hesitant to even post more impressions what with the apparent unit variances. My set probably has a bit of lifted low end if I had to ballpark it.
Like several others have said, they really do sound good with everything, good files, bad files. They excel at metal probably more than any other earphone I've heard since the GR07. Soundstage is very nice, with great depth. Height is where my usual suspects eke out a win in varying degrees, and maybe the last few degrees toward 180.
I'd probably disagree with people calling them warm. Even with boosted bass, it's a very cold and uninviting bass tbh, and the rest of the sound follows that lead. They are on the cool side I'd say.
What I absolutely don't get is people calling them smooth. They are very aggressive and really on the grainier side. The only IEM I own that they are smoother than is maybe the HJE900, if any of you remember that one, which isn't saying much.
Still sound amazing.
Just some thoughts.
Very interesting. My set has zero grain. Unless you consider the er4s grainy? Mine has the smoothness of the er4s easy...
