I am finally finished with my search for a quality set of earbuds!! I was beginning to wonder if such an animal was even possible with this style of monitor. This is the 5th pair I have owned in the last 30 days and with each purchase and return I have had to add more money to the total amount trying to spend as little as possible to have the quality needed for a bass player to be able to track with on stage. I started out with the Shure 112 moving to the Shure Se215 immediately and then to the Audio Technica IM02 to the Future Sonic G10 and have now sunk more than I had ever thought reasonable into these Audio Technica ATH-E70's. They are the real deal but to me still seem overpriced. I am glad though at least I didn't have to spend stupid money like $3000 or even $1500 to get this quality of sound.So I just got these today but upon trying them out for just a little while I can tell right away that they are what I have been looking for. The sound is full and gives me everything I want to hear as a bass player. I can tell that they won't give me trouble falling out and can tell that they are made with extremely high build quality. The fit is amazing and I don't have to worry about them hurting my ears by pressing on my outer ear too much like the Shure se215's did. I am super happy with the product itself but just wish it came at a lower price point so I could refer the rest of my band members to them. You're not going to find your average worship team volunteer willing to sink $400 into a pair of earbuds but unfortunately to get a sound that makes you want to put them on that's how much it costs.... I challenge anyone to find a set that has the type of audio quality and range of deep all around sound that these have at a lower price.
