Ok so i got my Doscinco and here are my impressions after 2 days of listening.
Bass texture and quality is very good however it can get a smidge too much on certain tracks which can mask some of the layering and notes in the bass.
Mids are smooth, vocals sound natural but somewhat veiled and the added husk and warmth from the bass is noticeable.
Keep in mind that i am not a fan of high pinna gain and treble but i still think that this set just dont have the necessary bite in the leading edge of drums, snares, hats, trumpets and they can sound muted or veiled, blanketed…especially with that level of bass in the background.
I think that because of the boosetd bass it could have used more upper treble to balance things out and make it sound more airy and open. I find myself more often than not pumping up the volume to hear what i just said better, but then i get into dangerous listening levels.
I played with APO EQ and added 3 to 4db in the 8k, 10k, 15k, 20k areas and everything falls into palce, gives the extra bite and attack which improves clarity and realism of the insturments. If this set had a bit more treble extension it would have been perfect, at least for my taste.
