Hi
I recently bought an iPod touch (32gb) which has the great Wolfson codec but i guess im still after a decent pair of earbuds to go with it. I understand the pacakaged Apple earphones are not of premium quality and the bass is very distorted. What i am after is something of a more audiophile nature (..but not within the full headphone region of course). I recently purchased the Sennheiser CX95 Noise cancelling earphone (from Amazon.co.uk) however, despite the rave reviews from various sources like PC Pro, i found the earbuds to be extremely bassy and thus the highs and treble within the frequency somewhat compromised. The sound is powerful but not as detailed and sparkly as you would hope. According to Technology Review Site - Product Reviews, News, Prices at CNET.co.uk they also remark on the same problem but favour the earbuds. I am tempted to now get a refund or exchange on this..i believe these are probably not for the audiophile..
Now, having done more research i have come accross the AUDIO TECHNICA earphones (ATH CM range) which are made in Japan and have a huge frequency response from 10HZ to 45khz, (audiophile frequency). The thing which confuses me is why despite the high specs attached there is little reviews of the earbuds online or anywhere really as i have only seen them for sale and not being extensively reviewed by online magazines etc. Could anyone help me out here and tell me what they are like???
Thanks!!
