Blues 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 btw mat , I don't think the etys is that bad. Probably because of the new toy disease. Whenever a new toy arrives it's only natural that we get overexcited about it. Well I need to spend more time with the ety then I suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evil-zen 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 i'm still excited over it 5 months later...... still my preferred 'cans' even over the beyer 880s. as you said yourself, my pair are much softer than the original unworn-in pair so just try it for few weeks at least before giving up on them again.

Blues 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 you're right zen. That's why I am keeping them first, at least for a few weeks to 1 month to see if the situation improves Yep I recall yours is much softer and a lil easier to insert. mm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
