Maybe I got a bad pair...
on February 25, 2014
Posted by: Drewbacca
First, the great - the tangle free cord is one of the best cords I've seen on any headphone I've ever used. The design is also pretty stellar, and the fit of the earphones, along with the huge variety of eartip sizes are fantastic.
Now, the not so great - I expected way better sound from all these reviews. I'm convinced I got a bad pair, because everything sounds, well,muddled. The detail is there, for sure (I hear e.v.e.r.y. instrument), but all those details just sound muddled. Vocal "s" syllables sound more like "sshhhhhh" than a crisp "ssssssss." Hi-hat hits sound the exact same way. It's like the difference between a low and high quality MP3 - this sounds more on the low end.
Overall it's far better than your run of the mill headphones, for sure, but I think my exact pair might be defective. I'm used to that stellar Sony quality at the amazing Sony price. Hopefully my hunch is true, because I'd hate to see that this is just how they sound. I've had too great of an experience with Sony to be turned away.
