Very good IEM for less than $200. Not a very bassy IEM but the bass that is there is very clean and fast. My main issue is that the highs can be a little bit too much for my liking but others may not have that issue.
They're very comfortable, I can't imagine too many people will have an issue with the size or comfort.
Packaging and accessories are better than I'd imagine any other IEM at the same price point but the included tips, although there are a lot of them, aren't great.
I've taken a few months to make up my mind on these. I typically like silicone tips but prefer foam on these instead. I spent a long time experimenting w/ the switches, too. Anyone who buys these and doesn't take the tips and switches into consideration could easily rule them out quickly. If you're willing to put in the time you should find these to be quite good once you set them up to your preferences. With my settings & tips the bass and miss are strong and balanced with a very smooth treble that doesn't feel too recessed. That being said, I am wholly satisfied with BL05's or ZS10 Pro's for 1/3 to 1/4 the price. Neither of these are direct competitors to the Legacy 4's but carrying all 3 every day for a train & bus commute, I find myself using the Legacy 4's the least. The elevated bass on the other two sets probably suits the noisy commute in my case. I don't test or use iem's at home or work. I use open back headphones in the places. I hope someone finds this helpful!
I quite dig these IEM's. There's plenty of technical reviews out there, go read them. My experience is they're very comfortable. They sound great (some highs can be a little much depending on the recording), got some bump, resolve nicely, soundstage is fine just fine. The cable is quite nice. All in all I'm glad I purchased them. They are a mainstay in my rotation. Highly recommended.
Also.... These just look and feel premium. I absolutely love the way they look. They must be in front of your face to truly appreciate the awesome.
Go forth and jam.....
Sounds great, much more clarity than I get from my EDC3s. There's a bit of sharpness in the treble. Combined with a bit of pressure on the side of my ear from the inward-facing hump, this results in me not wearing them for more than a couple hours at a stretch (the EDC3s are far more comfortable).
I have had an odd issue where the tip pops off in my ear when I try to remove the IEM. I chalk this up to there being no barb on the plastic that inserts into the tip (it's a smooth curve). I can avoid this, but I have to be careful about it.
Overall I dig them - they sound good to me and are comfortable enough for me to work while wearing.
JeffCasIf you're having trouble with the tips sliding off, it helps to de-wax the tips and IEM's with some rubbing alcohol. I occasionally wash my tips with dish soap too. I hope that helps.
Couldn't wait for these to finally come in. But not what I was hoping for. They have all the bells and whistles and even sound very detailed. They just lack the luster of the Soundstage and its openness. Loved the presentation. Loved the look and colors. Most beautiful iem I've purchased to date. The search goes on...
UPDATE
Since my initial review my opinion has changed about these iem's. They have opened up much more and now have soundstage. I guess I needed to burn them in longer. They are my go to.
ZeusGThanks for the suggestions. I have a vast array of tips that I like to try on all of my IEM's. The fit and seal matter and I have small ear canals that are also shallow. And my right ear takes a different size then the left. Depending on the brand of course. Since my initial review I have dekoni bulletz on them now and they have opened up a bit. I love the iem's and these are definitely worth the money. Just need longer burn in for slight boost in a shallow soundstage. But as always, hearing is subjective and that's what I hear. I enjoy the set. Still the most gorgeous ones I own. Thanks again for your time and help.
