the treble ports make a HUGE difference (going to = to + is quite pronounced, going from + to ++ is very slight)
but it seems with the bass ports going from - to + is basically identical to my ears, or the difference to me is so slight I can't even register a difference.
That and I read the + bass port is supposed to have a hole in it? The + port and - port look IDENTICAL to me...*edit* upon closer observation there is a very very tiny hole in the +bass port!
But it doesn't change the fact that it feels to me that the +/=/- ports seem to have similar bass impact (maybe I'm not listening to songs that go deep enough to notice a difference?)
i've only listened to the SA6s for a few hours in total at most, so I'm going to continue experimenting =) but I wanted to see if anyone had similar observations. Other than that, the bass doesn't really feel thin, I'd like it to have more impact, but the treble and mid are AWESOME, and the sound isn't fatiguing at all!
I think I saw some response graphs comparing them, and there definitely was a difference. And all of the SA6 threads I've read here claim that it's noticeable. Perhaps you should try some different music. If it's a matter of sensitivity in your ears, then maybe the bass++ mod would help. What happens when make subtle changes to the EQ (with software)? Do you notice a difference then?
My pair are in the mail, so I'll let you know if it works for me.
Yea I think I'm going to order the Shure black olive foamies. Although I think the seal is quite good because it isolates VERY well, even at low volumes the music completely washes out what's left of the 'outside world'
With subtle differences in EQ (on the fuze) it makes a noticeable difference.
Anyone want to give me some examples of very deep and heavy bass loaded music? (like tracks not genres)
Sorry for my bad english... have no practice
I'm from Russian and i'm one of the first who test Sleek in Russia...
So what i can say. Changing of Bass port make a big difference in sound. I can "see" this difference easily. And - for your expirience - try to remove bass ports when you listening musik - verry interesting effect... like musik moving out from your earphones... it some like you listening part of sound not from SA6 but from acoustic monitors outside from head
Try putting a staple through the hole and then spinning the port around to open it up a little. It made a huge difference for me, more bass and really opened up the sound stage a lot.
Graben: I just did that, man, what a HUGE difference, bass is way more punchy now (which is what I wanted, bass to be very crisp and punchy) and there is more bass now, sound stage is better now and I also put in the treble++ now and now it just sounds awesome =D
Thought I'd mention that going from = to + (bass) in my new sleeks made a MASSIVE difference. Like night and day. = to + on treble, the difference is only slight. Haven't tried ++ yet, but will tonight. Will also give the staple trick a go, as although the bass is massively increased, it sounds a bit muffled.
You want a track to listen to for bass? Linkin Park - Lying From You, when the bass drum hits at the beginning it hits hard and you feel it, it's awesome. I think I may try the mod for the bass+ port, but I am tentative about it because I only have the one set of bass+ ports right now and I use them.
Changing bass ports don't make a difference?
