Yeah they do have dips from 4khz- through much of the lower treble, then it comes back up in the upper frequencies. Many important frequencies for drums do end up sounding a touch masked, although EQ seems to fix a lot of the timbre issues there. Otherwise on those tracks with drums yeah the resonance from drum hits do sound a touch muted, although still better than a lot of budget IEM which for me tend to be too boosted in those frequencies, causing fatigue to my ear.

Interesting. Mine was through Amazon.ca and apparently at the time they had some stock in a warehouse in the US (or thought they did) and it showed "fulfilled by Amazon". Apparently the stock info was wrong and it took forever to get more and finally ship (plus there were some weird payment problems on their end). Now it shows fulfilled by Shenzhen and ships from China so I guess that was short lived.

True I really wasn't expecting the the p1 max to blow the t3+ out of the water haven't even bothered with testing them side by side, guess ill keep them as backup, and maybe ill try the dt200 at some point. Also thought the same about the t3+ vocals and compressed describes it well.

What is your impression of drums with them? Like real drums not drum machines e.g. Reflection by Tool , Rust in Peace... Polaris by Megadeth and Sunsets by Airbag.

Drums sounded wrong to me. They had an unnatural and plastic timbre caused by how fast the decay was. Using Crin's definition of plastic timbre describes them perfectly: > > Plastic timbre: Characterised by a hollow sound, sometimes also describes as a certain sense of weightlessness in the notes. This sometimes happens when the decay is unusually fast though is also exacerbated by a higher-frequency-biased tonality. Balanced armatures are its biggest offenders.

Otherwise a great set for $80. Nozzles are a bit large btw at 6.5mm.

Implying they no longer have that history? The company is still run by the Sennheiser family. They actually had this to say about Sonova at time of sale:

“A partner who not only shares our passion for audio and a commitment to the highest product quality, but also very similar corporate values,” they write. “This is an excellent foundation for a successful future together.”

I'm glad you enjoy them. While I really liked what they sound like, I actually really enjoyed it, I couldn't wear them for longer than 20 minutes. The clamping pressure is so high and the headband got so uncomfortable that I had to send them back. It's really unfortunate.
