^^ lee730 how does the HM-601 compare to the Studio V? I've got the 601 right now and I'm really liking it but I've heard great things about the Studio V. What do you think?

he has elaborated on that question too many times. take your time with the search engine function
personally i don't think that hm-601 is inferior to studio-V. just a matter of taste/preference i believe..
I do think you're right about this. The HM-601 has a warmer sound signature, call it analog if so, that for some ears this will match better with brighter/detailed or/and aggressive sounding IEM's.
The Studio-V are almost opposite, although not quite, but certainly a brighter sounding unit with a strong emphasize on mids and upper frequencies and this could be a nice match up with IEM's that have a strong bass presentation and a warm sounding mid range.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that this why that @lee730 really likes the Studio-V with his Sennheiser IE80?

I demand answers! I was told not to waste my money on the HM-601 because my monitors of choice are SM3's and they're pretty much the same from any source. Some even said the 601 was a bad source all around. But seeing as how it was already in the mail I was stuck with it.
Here's the thing, I did a direct comparison with my previous source (iPhone 4S + Fiio E7.) And the difference was huge. HUGE. I'm not talking vague, subjective differences here. On one track, I discovered a little guitar riff that my iP4 had left out. And I don't mean it was recessed, this guitar was missing.
My question is, how? What about the 601 is that much better than my iP4? Why were people telling me to stay away from the 601?
+1..I tried an AB comparison of iPhone 3GS with HM-601. I don't know how to say. I felt HM-601 sounded very romantic. Guitars sounded much real there. That liveliness was missing on iPhone 3GS.
