Well they're going back as unsuitable. The bass issue is insurmountable.

No go Justin? That's a shame. Glad I didn't get to hear a set now

It is a shame the Bluetooth connectivity is superb and the noise cancelling is quite good. They are also really comfortable.

But listen to the Sleaford Mods or anything bass heavy even with loads of EQ applied and they just don't hack it.

Material with little bass sounds really quite OK with a load of EQ applied to get rid of 400 odd Hertz of plus 4DB. Enjoyable in fact.

Extension is crazy good at 10Hz and you can hear that. Dynamics are also good.

But against the AKG 702 both with no EQ and the AKG is much more right. The Sony's are badly wrong.

I might give them a.bit more of a chance. Better EQ may be able to more accurately help with the bass issue. Will try some other apps.

Check here for an explanation of the issue i.e. the FR plot.

Shouldnt have to tho. Designed for bass heads

I am a bass head. But +4DB from 10 to 400Hz on bass head material is insane.

I wish I had looked up the FR before I had bought. The Oppo PM3 looks comparatively excellent in the rtings plots. Doesn't satisfy my requirements. The AKG equivalent to the Sony looks much better. I think I might have to try those.

What they do is come up to your house at night and scan for a wireless signal and capture, boost and send it to another unit that a guy is holding next to door of car. Not all cars are susceptible, and mine isnt on the list but im taking no chances. they were only less than a tenner for 2, and they do work.

I don't park my car outside my house, it's outside a neighbours as we have five houses with a courtyard and I have a motor home outside mine. What about when you're out, can they scan it while you are locking it and then get in it after you have walked away.

Don't think so.

When did the name of this thread change? Sounds like it's going to be an American sit com now.

Hah ! I was wondering too :D
