Can the good reviews not quite nachvollziehen.Sicher sound is a subjective thing, on the other hand may lack even the simple comparison. I have here a few halfway decent studio headphones are, the sound is present, clear and balanced, while the Shure I ordered everything was just dull, no brilliance or width. Even the bass is better pronounced in my Sennheiser CX500. The Shure sound as if a piece of foam still hidden in the handset. I continued to use the CX500. Had already the DT101ie that cable noises were in these in-ears unfortunately very well audible, but the sound was very decent. As I said, the sound is certainly considered subjective, but compared to what I was able to hear so far, I think the price for completely exaggerated. The build quality is good (the cable slightly thick), and they also sit quite stable.
