Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Wow, what a surprise with these phones.
Pros: Excellent clarity, especially in the important midrange area, but also sweet highs and enough bass (though maybe not for bassheads). Great comfort, I could wear them for long periods, no problem. and they also have a very good cable.
Cons: I didn't care for the OEM tips much and tried a pair of the basic yellow Shure foamies I had sitting around, and those were a nice match. So count on getting some alternative tips, unless the stock tips work out for you.
Put on some Jack Johnson, Eagles, Diana Krall, even some old stuff (Beatles, Stones, etc.) and the Cresyns really do sound excellent. Then, I listened to some of the same tracks with the UM3X ($399 MSRP) and as expected, the Westones dominate the C750E. The Westones are really just a next level phone, but the two phones share some of the same characteristics. Smooth, forward mids, nicely integrated treble (not real sparkly, but it's not recessed either). The UM3X offers strong bass, just more of it, and much more part of the mix, but again, the C750E is no slouch.
So how do I find the Cresyns? I'd say they are among the top three $100 and under street price IEMs you can get (and I have tried out dozens), especially if you like acoustic music, vocals, jazz, etc., because they handle those genres and styles of music like a champ. I guess you could call them the poor man's (or woman's) UM3X, because they are cut from the same cloth, though the Westones are a clear step up.
Let me put it this way, if I were a poor college kid who could never get the scratch for the Westones or any other true top tier IEM ($300+), I would not be unhappy having the C750Es are my main IEM. And I will keep them with my collection as well, for on the go phones when I don't want to take out the Westones.
