Finally I am with my new cans in the ears. Undoubtedly ii is better than my previous $10 one. LoL.
Of course I am still getting used to it and I should let you know that this is the first Seinnheiser can I have in my ears. Also I am very far a way to be a headphone
conneceur, so, please, consider it when read my further words. Here it goes my first impressions right in the bat:
1) It has too much more headroom (I think that's the term, please correct me if I am using it wrongly) what means that I can perceive a better space and positioning of the instruments. With the other pair of cans the sound seems more 'flattened'.
2) It has an impressive bass response for such a small can. The last headphone I tried that I remember to put such pressure in the ears is the Pro-4AA. Actually for my taste it has MORE bass than I would like so I made two small cuts (4dB in 70Hz and 2dB in 180Hz -- Winamp EQ) to make it more comfortable. However, it is not just MORE bass. It has a BETTER bass. I can perfectly hear the kicks along with the tail of the bass of the kickdrum and also the bass guitar perfectly apart. Awesome. Impressive.
3) The acoustics of the cushions are very sensitive to a correct positioning on your head. I just had my snack and came back in a rush to my desk to keep trying it and noticed that as I move my jaws while I try to clean my teeth with the tongue (LoL!) the minimum that the cushions gets apart from the ear makes a huge difference in the bass pressure.
4) It supports too much more volume than the garbage can one, what means that I can crank TOO MUCH MORE the volume up before it starts to distort, even with its heavier bass.
5) It is exceptionally well insulated. It really keeps the external sounds outside. And also does the backwards, that is, what is within almost doesn't leak.
6) It is lightweight and kind of comfortable but the arc passing over the head causes a certain annoying pressure even being stuffed with a soft foam. I am wearing it only for about 20 minutes now so I don't know how I will feel by using it for hours and hours.
All in all I am very happy with the acquisition. I am really really REALLY impressed with the quality of this little guy specially taking in consideration that it is a can for the poverty. Congratulations Seinnheiser! Everything puts me towards to get the next level can in a few months!
PS: Today I am not in my best day as I am with this slight migrane along the whole day, so maybe I am oversensitive. Let's see how I will feel after a few days using it.
