This is not true. The IE600 has one of the best treble extensions at any price and the tuning is very balanced. Cymbals sound more correct than any EST. And one more thing - cymbals are made of metal and should sound metallic and dense, not just sound ssssss!

I walked right into that one 
My poor use of adjectives is why I’ll never be a reviewer.
Going on the tonality (only thing I can comment on) and tracks presented on Dan’s Audio review channel (Comparison with IE600) I understand what you’re saying now. I think Domq expertly caught my sentiment out of my poorly phrased analysis but my throw away comments unfairly diminished the set’s clear strengths and technicals. Though I still find myself not a big fan of its tonality so for what its worth (not much) my revised but still partially informed pov is that:
Sennheiser clearly had a unique tuning philosophy in mind and executed that to clinical perfection - so very very clean are the mids and forward treble. It actually seems quite clever how they managed it but while there’s an appearance of balance because there is plenty of bass, across too many tracks, focus get’s racked across and find myself listening to a few things rather than all of it, and so overall it can feel very dry/thin at times - but its so clinically good and well done, you don’t mind until its compared to something else with a little more body. I understand now how unique and compelling a set it is for what it does but doesn’t do it for me musically on the basis of tonality. But my hands are up! don’t shoot! demos are not real life and I need to find these this year and listen for an extended period with an open mind.
Domq422 - my deep deep apologises to rack focus away (see what I did there) from your meteor review onto a different set. I had only meant to make the point that I resonated with your comments on the meteor’s treble but got distracted when reminded of the unique IE600 presentation. My bad.

Too kind of you, thanks so much!
Sorry for the threadnap in the wake of a top level review @domq422, but I gotta ask @SoundEater – Love that blacked out look on your guitar - ESP? Schecter?

Sorry about the photo, it was taken with my old Motorola a long time ago 
. Yes, I like the gray color of the guitar - Lag Imperator (rhythm) with a short neck, which is very comfortable for my fingers. Pairs perfectly with the IE600. Maybe I should take better pictures when I have more time. 
And one more thing that concerns the above dispute - I have not yet heard a tonally correct IEM. I hope “before I die” to listen to one that has the correct tonality for all audiophiles

edit wrong thread
Yes, this is my opinion. As above, write your opinion (review) about Meteor. Come on dude, be more open minded.
I am being open-minded lol
I’m pointing out that it’s your opinion, that’s all. No one is saying you’re completely wrong or incorrect… but you did.
This sure does sound like you’re stating this as fact rather than your opinion, now doesn’t it?

Yes. Because there is no way to evaluate the treble of the IE600 through YouTube clips. It’s like eating a banana from a picture.

Please just try to keep it light hearted if you can, man, that’s all, no one wants to fight over treble extension and DD size…. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.
I agree that YouTube demos don’t represent what an IEM sounds like in person. I’ve heard the IE600 actual so im just sharing how I felt about them

I don’t fall. I’m just saying that the Germans with 6mm DD are doing what the Chinese are doing with 10-12 drivers. And it’s done well. That is all.
There’s only one way to settle this…dance off bro…you and me…parking lot in front of sennheiser hq, Germany…this saturday at noon.
Only condition is that drink must be consumed before, during and after song selections. I’ll bring a crate of my favourite dark rum. Like my moonwalk…it’s real rough around the edges but once it kicks into gear, you’ll keep coming back for more.
As you like your sparkle, make sure you bring your ruby slippers because you’ll be clicking those heels to get home once you see my moves.
P.S. We’ll actually be pretty wrecked after 
, so if you could bring a responsible adult to help get us home I’d appreciate it as I don’t know any

No problems. We’re going to Sennheiser, I’ll be like that:
In addition to beer, we will also take a laptop or phone with YouTube to listen to real music with IEM:
Then we will go to @domq422 to visit and continue to drink like the Germans at Oktoberfest:
After drinking so much, all IEMs will seem TOTL to us, even if we listen to them on YouTube

Give me an IPA with 10% ABV, a fruity taste, and all the sound demos from YouTube using the shure SE215 and I’ll be set for life, now thats a true endgame

Fantastic guitar. I suppose it would suit my nature very well. The next one will be this one!
