After unboxing, I listened to it for 15 minutes and left them plugged in to allow them to burn in. After 50 hours some harshness that was there was gone and the sound signature seems settled.
It's a good sound for the $150 price. But nothing amazing. The details are there and the bass is good. But I don't hear much extension in the lows. And not much extension at the top. Not much air either at the top.
The soundstage width is average and not much depth. Separation is average or slightly below average. The resolution is also average. This is par for the $150 price range. They are good for on the road/travel, movies and casual music listening especially for when a full-size headphone is not really an option.
They are not as bad as some of these reviews make them out to be. But nowadays there's fierce competition of the likes of blon BL-03 for example, which are cheaper to boot.
verifonixThanks for your review!
I notice you had mentioned some EQ settings in the comments below. Did you use those settings when listening to the Planamic?
Also, what was your source(s) that you used?
VictorfabiusHere is a foobar2000 EQ if you are in dire need of EQ, just need to boost mids a little and highs quite a bit to get it more balanced: 18-band https://i.imgur.com/NwtLSDA.png (source:reddit)
verifonixCan you tell me a good way to burn in headphones. Would you recommend pink noise, or would you say just let music run through them 24 for a couple days?
DraeftloreMusic. But honestly it doesn't do much and might be in my mind, it's just that when they get straight out of the factory they tend to sound bad? Idk
