My wife bought me a pair of Black Widows for our anniversary and I used them for the first time today. I have to say, I dont know if it is me or the phones, but I was disappointed.... They sound very "tinny" to me, and I have to crank them all the way up to hear with them. I have to use the limiter switch since they do give a pretty loud noise if I find a top or very shallow (1-2") target... I was expecting the same kind of thing we experienced (us old cogers) when we heard stereo vs mono radios, but didnt find that to be the case. Like I said, I may just be expecting them to be like a great pair of Stereo music headphones vs a kiddy pair, you guys tell me? I actually found the sound of my medium priced ear buds (for my MP3 player) to be better, but have no way to control their volume. I wrote to DetectorPro to see if they could shed some light on it too.
They are probably the nicest, sturdy, quality feeling, and comfortable phones I have ever put on, but sound is more important..
Again, I may just be such a beginner that I am wanting a range of sound that I dont need with MD'ing, I hope you guys can help. I would hate for my wife to dish out $126 for a pair of phones that are faulty.
