how did they end up sounding?
Very mid forward, which is good for vocals and classical. Treble can be a little harsher than I had hoped. Bass is good and clean, but not bass cannons like the HE-R9. They hit a little harder than I had thought, which I like.
Overall I like it, but I ordered the mods from custom cans in the UK to tame the treble and mids some. I wanted a replacement for my 565c since they are not fixable, which is a warmer/smoother sound. Perfect for classical and less intense music.
For more involving music like electronic, the sound is too intense and feels almost sibilant at times which is still enough to make me feel uncomfortable. These are very good, but they are special use. I wouldn't consider them good all-around headphones since the sound profile overly emphasizes the mids.
Thanks for the response— I actually ended up getting em too before I saw this. I found the bass to be really nice, but mids I felt a little muddy. Somehow the treble is muddy and sibilant at the same time for me haha. I actually really like it with some eq though
