Wow.  Nobody.  That's too bad.

Bump

I've been messing about with IEM's for around eight months now, and I want to give full size cans a try.  I just got a pair of HE400's.     I've read a lot about their sound signature and based on that, I think I want to give the 650's a shot.  Coming from IEM's though, I really want to take...

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but if anyone in the U.S. has the 5.0 and wants to hear the 4.ai, shoot me a PM.  I'd love to hear the 5.0.  Maybe we can work out some sort of situation just to audition them.   No obligation for a permanent trade.

I apologize for posting this in two different forums, but I figured I may get additional expertise in the IEM forum on the IEm side of things here.    OK, so I think I want to give some full size or portable cans a try. But here's the thing. My main source will be an iPod Classic 7th gen. I...

     OK, so I think I want to give some full size cans a try.  But here's the thing.  My main source will be an iPod Classic 7th gen.  I do have a Fiio E11, but nothing better for an amp.  I like a large spacious soundstage, and on the warm/bassy side of neutral.  Not too much extra bass, but...

OK, so I have this O.C.D. thing where I tap on the shells of IEMS right after I put them in.  Well, I lightly tap, then snap my fingers outside my ears so I know I have a good seal.  Not too crazy, right? Anyway.  I currently have in my possession a pair of SM3 v2's.  When I put them in and tap...

Hmmm  . .  . makes me wonder if I'd rather have the 90 than my 4.ai

Quote: I've considered that, but from what I've read, the 7th gen. is still unstable.

I'm stuck with an iPod classic for now.  I have a pair of Heir 4.Ai, and I want a bit more bass.  Since EQ on the iPod is not an option, what should I go for?  I have the E11, but it's noise floor seems a bit high with the Heirs.  I feel like it was lower with the w4R, but about the same with...

Quote: I got the V-shape thing from a review a think.  With that in my head, I did feel that the mids were less up front than on the 4.Ai.  I'd be fine with the UE900 as long as the bass was as it is now, or a tad more.  I'd probably prefer boosting the bass a bit on the UE's than...

http://www.complyfoam.com/products/tx-500/   proactive fix for the small bore problem?

I'm hearing a lot about this tiny bass hole bore. I still have a few days to return mine, so what's the best way to temporarily block the hole to see how they sound?  If it's tape, what kind?  I'm not so sure I want to lose even 1db of bass.  The reason I got UE900 was I thought they would beat...

Quote: Thanks, that's actually a big help.  I'm looking for more width than the 4.ai.  Now I don't have to worry about trying the 3.ai

For those who have heard both:  Soundstage 4.ai vs. 3.ai?
