Query: Way bright

Bought this a few weeks ago on the advice of a friend to replace the stock ipod earphones which frayed on me (literally).These earphones are quite overated. My main objection is that they are extremely bright --any audiophile reading this will know what I mean by this term. If you are listen to and like the sound of tube gear, this earphone is definitely not for you. I can't stand more than a few minutes of it at a time without turning the volume way down--it sounds like someone put the treble on maximum permanently. Tremendous inherent distortion. I read with amusement some of the reviews here where the reviewers laud this earphone for 'clarity'. No accounting for taste, I guess.
