Am I crazy? I heard tons of awesome reviews. I bought these almost 2 years ago and tried to like them. They have great accuracy and soundstage and have a presence better than any earbud I had heard to date (when I bought them). But they are soooo shrill on the top end I can’t listen to them.

I followed them up with the meze rai solo and found those much more easy to listen to. I’ll have to go back and compare the soundstage and clarity…

But people seem to swear by ikko… am I nuts?

These are my favorite set and nowhere near my most expensive. Do you EQ?

Perhaps, you just don't like them? That's alright too, mate

Nope. I don’t enjoy EQ. I like to listen to things how they were intended.

Could be I don’t like them but not sure what I’m missing. I don’t think my ears are broken. Do you hear a weird compression on the high end?
