I have reverted back to 7.1.3. I thought that 8.1 was a lot better than 8.0, but is still slightly forward in the mids and treble, which after a period of about 30mins started to hurt my left ear. The bass is more defined/controlled and it may be slightly more detailed/ accurate in 8.1 but is not as fun to listen to. In my set up with using Air Wifi, I found it more enjoyable with a more open captivating musical sound. I'd be interested in hearing other users views.
