The effect of the "overemphasized" Heights, one of the reviewers describe, then occurs when the plugs do not sit absolutely tight.
Is the seat the stopper ok, there is the very clean highs excellent fundamental tone and mid-range, with well integrated, harmonious and clear sound image and extremely good spatiality.
An experience!
Now for the "quality" Transport Case (or delivery case?):
The cover features a magnetic closure, the magnetic stripe on the box itself is only poorly adhered and has his own business, the lid of course does not stop because of this.
Addendum 30. 12. 2009:
In a re-ordered as well as IE7 IE8 when exactly the same thing, no outliers!
Also, the following text applies to all delivered copies:
In the box there is then a transparent plastic protective cover like a bonnet, which one out gets difficult without damaging them because the Seitenwaende the box have a 3mm thick, inward edge.
The whole box itself I think is a bad design, the removal and storage of the listeners auesserst impractical - you have an application in which the listeners are clipped out fumble, and the cable to a kind of spindle to which the replacement ear pads are plugged , wrap.
Anyone who has something devised, was not practical.
The according to the description provided "elaborately designed carrying case" lacked.
There is only one plastic slipcase, which is located in the delivery case with the above-mentioned spindle and in which you can insert the cables comic spindle.
However, only 2 sets of additional ear adapters.
It's all in contradiction to the otherwise usual Sennheiser quality and ergonomics.
China production without control? The price?
That is why, despite the excellent potential for the time being only 3 stars.
