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?

Had a similar reaction to yours when first I got them: good bass but shrill up top WITH STANDARD TIPS. However, tried the shallow tips that came with them and the FR was much better, so I kept them. If you have a Qudelix (although I didn't need to use my Qudelis), try the shallow tips and EQ that shrill range to align the FR with your preferences, However, if you don't like them, I've no argument.
