Title: Disappointing...
Review: I've been using Sennheiser CX300's with my iPod for a while and just love the sound. Then, on an impulse I picked up a pair of ATH-CK7's, thinking that the good reviews and higher price would surely take me to an even higher level of audio enjoyment. How wrong I was. The first thing I noticed was the lack of power - compared to the powerful CX300's, these things have to be cranked way up to hear anything. Next, the bass - what bass? Very poor indeed, and the treble was annoyingly sibilant, too. Overall the sound is flat and thin. I thought it might just be a case of getting used to them, but after a couple of days nothing improves and I gave up. Thought it might be a problem getting a good seal, but nothing I tried would improve the poor sound, so now I'm back with my trusty Sennheisers. Should have stuck with them all along. I know tastes in sound vary, but I really cannot fathom why people rate these things so highly...
Is the review positive or negative?
