I was looking for a single BA model around ¥30,000, and compared products at both retail and specialty stores; the final Heaven series has bass and their balance, sense of realism and width was great, so I decided on the Heaven series.
I particularly liked Heaven VI, but owing to budgetary constraints, I reluctantly had to give up on them. I was torn between Heaven V aging and Heaven V, but the sound of Heaven V appeared sharper and I felt that it suited me better, and that and the fact that they had it in stock at the outlet had me decide on V.
When I got them and I listened with them in a quiet environment, there was more of a sense of realism then there was when I listened at the store; vocals sounded beautiful and I was glad once again that I had bought them.
I had an image of the cable being heavy and stiff, but the section above the fork is softer than I thought it would be and not really that heavy, and it doesn't seem like they're going to fall out of my ears. However, the cable is a little long for me, so I want to wind it up together, but the section of the cable below the fork is a bit stiff and flat, and it's hard to wind it up neatly, plus when I use them when walking, there's a bit of touch noise.
But that's not really that big a deal, and cost performance is fantastic. I give these 5 out of 5 in terms of satisfaction.
