Earbuds need "room conditioning" to work properly or the sound just bounces around in there. Have your doctor or anybody good with tweezers put some tiny bass traps in your ear canals along with tiny rugs and furniture...A wet wool hat also helps control the dreaded "skull resonance," although that's extremely uncomfortable, and a football helmet with bricks attached works really well also...you do what you gotta do...
Cannot find perfect sound
I've been listening to supposedly some of the finest speakers that currently exist. These include b&w 800 Series, revel high end, vivid audio, Psi audio and kef blades.
None except the kef blades satisfied my high level standards.
When I play my reference tracks on cheap earbuds I hear timing accuracy that is missing on all the above speakers. Only the kef blades came closest to what I hear from cheap earbuds.
Explanations please?
I really suspect that none of these high end speakers are accurately reproducing the sound on my CDs despite all the marketing claims about accuracy and high quality sound.
What could there possibly be that my cheap earbuds can do that eludes these super high end speakers?
I'm not so eager anymore to spend any money until I have a good explanation.
