Need help please. I ordered a pair of E4's from earphone solutions and just tried them out and was stunned. But for all the wrong reasons. They immediately sounded so flat, unidimensional and tinny that I could not believe my ears. I looked in vain for some sort of switch I had forgotten to flip (though I know there isn't one) and then tested them against my iPod earphones (on my iPod), which by comparison sounded like symphony hall up agaist a $2 AM transistor.

What do I make of this?? Counterfeits? Defective? They are not worth $2 to me much less $200 so I can, of course, send them back, but not sure what could be the problem. And advice??
