you guys probably aren't old enough or have been on the thread long enough to remember the old Sennheiser MX400/500, and I'm pretty sure based on what I'm hearing, its the SAME cans...    those were at the time, like the KSC-35 the value leaders, but most people did not like the fit.   The...

I've been a long time audiophile and this site along with headwize at the time got me into the game...   but my last pair of cans' were a set of AKG 701's (pre 702), Grado RS-2s, Senn 580s Sony MDR-V6, Koss KSC-75s (modded) and using a maveric tubedac as source/amp (oh and a AT ANC7b for the...

"I" just don't see why you need EQ for anything, whether u use the device as purely a source or to power quality IEMs I have the Denon C700/C751 and lately Shure E310s and I just don't see the need for EQ

I've owned a number of mp3 players, raning from Sony S545, nano 2nd gen, iphone 3g, and numerous others (like muvo etc..) @ this point, I'm still using the NANO 2g 4g as its capacity is good, it has a screen and it has the best SQ out of the bunch w/ the exception of the Shuffle. The...

nc33 is superior to the nc22... I have yet to compare the ATH-AN3 in the same "noisy" environment, but they claim to a a -20db up to 85% across all spectrums where the NC33 is only -10db over 90% When I a/b'd the ANC3 for just SQL, the NC33s sounded all around smoother and better

The "only" noise cancelling IEM's that I've heard that I liked are the NC33 -- they are based on the new 13.5 vertical drivers from the EX300 series from Sony Peronsally I think they have the same sonic characteristics of the EX300, which have been favorable around here, and it has in-line...

So when it comes down to "comfort" for me & these cans, I find them the most awkward of the EIMs to fit as compared to EX300/NC33, SK Titans, my buddy's Shure 210es... Its unfortunately and I have tried plenty of tips, but have found the ideal compromise & as stated before, its the med Comply...

After much deliberation, I went out & picked up the c751's yesterday & have to say... out of the box, they were very good... with the excpetion of the tips It took me a while to get a good seal, and the Medium "ideally" is the right size, but it takes alot of time to set it in... So I had...

like the ex90s? I did a wax filter mod on my NC33 which really worked quite well... they seem very simular to the EX300 w/ the same driver size, accessories and casings, but has different resolution rations... Same w/ the EX500 my friend has, which so incidentially I really enjoyed, but didn't...

I have a pair of MDR-NC33's but have read that it could possibly be the same as the NC22s, 85 & 90s just w/ different porting/tuning that gives the slight differences in frequency ranges. Just as an FYI, I removed the WAX filter on my NC33s (which I was going to give away), and they have...

I just picked up a set of NC33s and have been following this thread... not sure if they share the same driver or not, but I too removed the was filter and have found astounishing results. Along with that, w/ comply t400s I even gained more isolation... but nothing I can do about the porting...

Out of curiosity how is the age "limit" in this case unfair? In most cases, a 16 year old would have a more physical and mental advantage let alone experience. Nothing in the Olympics makes sense to me. Soccer -- U20 w/ 2 player exception (hence Ronaldino & Robinho) Basketball -- Balls...
