Yes, better by far. They are musical and totally engaging. First listen reminded me of my first time with the Etymotics ER4s - realism, inner detail, recording space, and tonal quality are amazing. I don’t use equalization per se, but I do make use of a response correction curve via a plugin called Morphit. The plugin does’t have the Koss info, so the correction curve I use is for the Stax SR207. The Stax has a very similar frequency...
