Be prepared to enjoy the clearest music you've ever heard but torment through ...
These IEM's really hurt your ears. Physical pain. The ear piece is so big that it stretches the cartilages in your ears. I have to be cautious to not put it in all the way deep into the ear canal, so the pain is minimized. Still, I have to be cautious to not open my mouth, be cause the jaw opening moves the TMJ. Pain when drinking or eating. Be prepared to enjoy the clearest music you've ever heard but torment through the pain.Sound-wise it's the clearest IEM I've ever heard, but I only come from the SE500. There is no tunnel sound effect. How clear is the sound? When listening to my DSD files, it's only a bit clearer than my denon D5000. Almost no improvement from my LCD-3. Magnet headphones create about the same quality sound for much less money.If you want the highest quality sound from an IEM, then I would suggest the SE846 and stay far away from the 1500 for ear pain reason alone.
