They really aren't that bad of you find yourself listening to podcasts, movies, and upbeat music. Coming from a person with stuff like susvara and the blessing 2s, they can't even touch those. But, there crushers don't do anything really bad, know there place, last the day, and are comfortable. Covers all the bases for me tbh

Reply to Anyone try a jitterbug or other USB filter with the Fiio K7? by mistersprinkles1983

Ok folks, I get it. I'm getting roasted pretty hard here.
I didn't do my research. I've been out of hifi for a while and only recently got back into it and last time I hit hifi semi hard (well more mid-fi and chifi to be fair) these USB filters were all the rage. I must admit I bought the jitterbug out of nostalgia... I'm still going to try it. It'll be here in about six hours. Will report back. I have no equipment to measure other than my two ears.

Sorry for causing raised emotions.

It depends on what sound you like. The. Have a small soundstage and are very open. They have great dynamics and the bass has a good punch to it even tho it rolls of and lacks a bit of sub bass.

They sound really detailed and clear, have nice and a bit forward mids, with clean highs that aren’t as sharp as Beyers.

I like them overall and if you like sennheisers I believe you will like the clears too.

So I've had the crushers for a while and I listen to them occasionally for some dumb fun. I'm into having white noise while I work but I usually just listen to good old rain noise and all that. I was today years old when I realised there's a WHOLE ASS SUBGENRE FOR PLANE SOUNDS. I'm a pretty big plane person and I love flying so I was like fk it maybe the crushers could add some depth with the weird rumble and I was right.

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH If you have crushers dust them off and do yourself a favour and try it!!!

Edit: I've now tried the same track on all my other headphones to make sure I'm not going insane and the crushers just hit different.

I have a Focal Clear, Focal Elex, and a Focal Elegia.

The Elex is like pretty old, I got it second hand in 2018, the Elegia I bought in 2019, and the Clear in 2020.

As long as you're not man handling them you should be fine, but ..... there is a the hifiman head band mod and honestly if my headbands do go I would not be that angry as the hifiman head band is ubber comfy.
