    Ok so I got the cable about a hour ago. As I sit here and listen to "imaginary friends" - deadmau5 I have goosebumps.

    Everyone on the hate train for these just must expect headphones to sounds a certain way, or maybe I am not looking for the same things... I dont know what it is, but so far so good. I dont wanna gush too much but, I really do the way they reproduce these dark dirty synths. I also had a listen to some jazz just before and the horns sounded so smooth and throaty.

    I also did a quick round in destiny. Sound stage is wider than the 58x, that is about the only take away I had from that so far in the short amount of time.

    More to come.

    @billbishere damn dude, this isn't head-fi with all the noise posts. The last two posts could have combined into one and that's all the content we would have needed concerning your thoughts on the can.

    Interesting read, @billbishere. I can safely say that I don't agree with all of what you're saying, but reading that you're not much one for vocals kinda explains that, hah.

    Okay, for EDM and the like I can see why you'd like em. The AQs kinda murder rock and jazz though, so they were a nonstarter for me. Glad you like em, the Audeze kids will probably be right up your alley too! They and the Nighthawks do bass well IMO.

    P.S.
    The reason I have a bit about conciseness being courteous in my signature is that brevity is valued here. I save my long-ass rants about gear for wherever else, but try and distill things on SBAF. What famish is trying to say is that you could have gone straight for an impressions post without the preview above it, and the "it begins"/"parcel just arrived" post from earlier isn't really in fashion unless you're using the shoutbox on the home page.

    not sure what I did to piss you off as this is the 2nd time you have disliked my post.

    and no, they couldn't have... the first one was 5 days ago when i first got them and it was a first impression.

    if you don't like it, don't read it. disliking my posts is petty as hell.


    @Lyer25 got it. not really the vibe i got from this thread, as I see one chain where there are 3 consecutive posts from the same person. just seems like some petty nonsense to me. but point taken.
