First time that has ever happened to me, in such a short time period. Again, sure it's just an odd occurence, but worth noting. I did find the Denons started to really level off on the highs after burn-in, but now I may have to start all over again - if I decide to keep them (the UM3X came yesterday, and I can't take them off).

tsarn06 this is like deja vu because the same problem happened to me before but that was with the denon c700 quite some time ago. Am not sure how many hours I had on it but I was experimenting with wearing them "over the ear" and all of a sudden the right channel just went out. It's really a bummer after having already put that amount of hours on them.

Can you ask her or if anyone can comment on hiss levels for the following combos: a) S9-C710 b) S9-FX500 @jant71 Thanks for complicating my contender list with the CK10! So it's safe to say the CK10 stomps the C710 in the treble region (transparency, extension, imaging)? Or does the C710 put up a good fight?

i cant tell you about hiss levels with an s9, but with my ipod touch there is noticeable hiss... only when theres no music playing (pause, etc)... not noticeable with the volume up tho

i doubt this matters but just saying

How did Denon respond? I hope they just send me a new pair, and not fix the ones I sent in. It was just gone, no warning, no idea why. First time it's ever happened to me, as usually there is some off/on sound or something. When I get them, the new ones, I am just going to hook them up to my extra notebook for a week.

Thanks rubberchickenmx. Do you have the touch 2g? The touch 2g is quieter than the S9 so if there's noticeable hiss, then the C710 would be more prone to hiss than the E500/SE530.

 

[rubberchickenmx]

yes i have the 2g
actually though, shortly after posting that post, i went over and did a test
you only hear a hiss once you type, but it goes away really quickly

since i have a lock, if i have the screen turned off but music still playing, and the music stops, and i turn it on and i put in my pass, i can hear a little hiss.
it goes away once im in the springboard (menu)

its not even noticeable, dont worry..

 

[techfreakazoid]

Thanks for checking. I have the C710 on order so will see what the hype is all about.

Perhaps I am not that treble happy but I don't like the way this phone processes the high treble..sounds too sharp to my ear...is this being natural or unrestrictively piercing? also sound stage is not too big.

i actually didnt like the treble that much
it sounds too muffled and like 'far away'
i EQ'd it to treble booster

Any burn in? While the C710 is still brighter than my other IEMs, I think the treble has really mellowed out over time. Not that I think it is perfect, but not bad to me. Plus I think wearing them cables over the ear smooths the treble out a little.

Sounds like a tip/fit issue as you are the first I have heard that thinks the treble is muffled.

 

[SLCanhead]

I used these on a bus/train trip and a flight (got them on Tuesday). They sound quite nice.

I am feeling like the soundstage isn't quite what some are reporting (to my ears). I thought it was opening up at one point, but it just doesn't seem to be that spacious. What type of tips are you (all) using, in finding a good soundstage? I am using the included medium silicone tips.

I am trying to take into consideration that these are IEMs (these are my first decent set), but would like to improve on it, if possible.

Thanks...

I am using foam under silicon (see pic link in my sig). In comparison to the IE8, the soundstage is very close, closer than anything else I have heard except the UE11 universal fit. It is better than all my other IEMs except the IE8.

yeah i think so, i cant get a decent fit at all
i think im putting them in wrong. and its not that the treble is muffled, its just that when i compare treble booster to no EQ, treble booster just sounds better.... more detailed

Thanks, Joe! I will give it a shot...

What abt the FX500 Vs C710 ??

 

[rubberchickenmx]

hey joe/honeboy,

do you guys know if the c710 would benefit from an amp?
