As the title says, I picked these up cheaply and boy do I not like them, even for the price I paid. They sound congested and airless with a lifeless upper bass and a unpleasant hump in the upper-mids. The much lauded soundstage I cannot get either.
It's strange because I have the old m50s (fixed wire) which I love but the earpads are going and the headband too. Seeing the reviews of the msr7s I thought they'd be right up my street. I'm not really typcial of an m50s fan, that is to say a bass head, but I thought these just had ample and very good bass and an exciting but not fatiguing sound. I don't do fancy lossless files and headphone amps, just an ipod classic and 320kps mp3 and the m50s sounded just fine. I'll definitely keep my m50s and try to revitalise them with new pads. I dislike the msr7s so much I'm beginning to wonder if I might have fakes.
What do you guys think?
