Thank you for this. I can't believe I got these for $53 shipped (including taxes). I've been meaning to get my Ears Raped (props to
@oluvsgadgets for the awsome quip in one of his YouTube videos) for a while, I will get some whiskey in preparation for the ordeal.
I am curious if anyone is using room virtualization or speaker simulation (basically crossfeed) plugins with these to simulate soundstage. Something like bs2b (Bauer Stereo To Binaural). Some folks swear by that sort of effect, but I wonder if it would be detrimental to sound quality.
Also thanks to
@JohnYang1997, Oluv, and the other folks who have been expounding the virtues of these. Actually I appreciate soundstage a lot (plus accurate and open presentation and detail), so it will be interesting if I will be able to make these work with the aforementioned plugins, or maybe with that tip (pun intended) in that other forum consisting of cutting the stem of an Etymotic tri-flange and extending the sound nozzle of the Etymotic to place it 3 or 4 mm further from the eardrum. Some people claimed this trick offered shocking improvement in the soundstage.
