SE425-CL : Exceptional neutral in-ear monitor

12 years ago

Having come from bassy phones like the SE215 and Beyer's DT770, I never though I'd love a pair of headphones with such a neutral signature so much.

Though not quite as comfortable as the SE215s (you may have some fit issues with small ears) they still fit snugly and aren't irritating after any period of time.

Having become accustomed to their neutral signature, I find myself now unable to listen to bassier phones since the whole frequency mix seems unbalanced.

They do however fall off slightly at the high end which costs them a bit of detail up there but also makes them less fatiguing to listen to.

The level of detail on instruments they provide is superb and accurate, the build quality is good, they're comfortable, the soundstage is pretty good for in-ears...

If you're looking for a pair of neutral in ears for reference listening or just portable use, this is exactly what you're looking for.
