Just got my Etymotics. (4S)
So far: I like the bass better than the Sennheiser 580 (tighter, and
perhaps lower), and the highs almost as much as the Stax (less
smooth). The physical feeling of using them will take some getting
used to. I have very narrow ear canals, and YMMV.
Yes, they do take some getting used to, physically. They seem to stretch the
ear canal at first. Breaking in slowly is the answer.
Mine arrived with one defective filter, which made the sound fail on
one side almost instantly. I was pretty pissed off (had to go pick
them up at the FEDEX office after work), but after trying every
headphone outlet in my system, and several different pieces of
equipment, i tried changing the filter, and the sound returned.
I will see what HeadRoom wants to do about this. Filters are $15.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have not heard of anybody else having problems with filters.
I suppose now i have to consider an AirHead headphone amp, but *not*
because there is too little volume on my Sharp.
I bought the Airhead. It does make a difference. Not absolutely essential -
but definitely beneficial.
Regards,
Steve
