    iPhone 5 with IOS 7 sounds different

    Argh - I forgot to mention my setup; iPhone 5 (now with iOS 7), FIIO E02i and primarily Sony MDR EX-600 and Sennheiser HD-555. Look in my profile here for the other headphones I own and use for testing.

    iPhone 5 with IOS 7 sounds different

    I agree with you observations, but part from the "less harsh trebles", I don't find it nice that mids and bass have been altered. It sounds like I'm using a mild eq, instead of outputting neutrally, and although it isn't bad at all, as the difference is barely noticeable, it can cause some...

    iPhone 5 Audio Quality with headphones? is it better than the iPhone 4S?

    fjeena >          I would say ... maybe. But the main issue is that LOD is impossible for the iPhone 5, due to the lightning port only being able to carry digital. This means that a DAC MUST be present in the converterplug, and I don't believe that a decent DAC can be had at either...

    Review by 'jakobdam' on item 'Beyer Dynamic DTX 80 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)'

    The price point for the DTX 80 at the time I bought them, was in Denmark, roughly USD 80, making it a competitor to certain Sennheiser CX- and MX-series, Klipsch Image S4, and the cheaper Sony XBA-series.   Tested on: - iPhone 4 & iPhone 5 - LA DAC 100 - M-Audio Firewire Solo  ...

    Reply to review by 'jakobdam' on item 'Shure SE215'

    Wow, what happens with prices - where I live (in Denmark), the Shure SE 215's are priced at approx £ 80 - and the Sony MDX EX-600 have just dropped to £ 60 as of December 2012... If you have tried the Sonys and found to have the same opinion of them as I do, then you can order from here...

    Silent computer - new fans and case

    You could try to clean up your current fans; remove old oil and reoil them. It should lower their noise level audibly, but it might not do the trick for you.   Personally, I use Noctua fans as well - they're REALLY silent - I use this...

    Advice on a new camera?

    Added info:   The Olympus SP-620UZ you're looking at, is way better in terms of ergonomics, than any small-size camera available. But Olympus delivers a pretty crap image quality in their bridge camera, especially if you compare it with the competition.   Another problem is that when...

    Advice on a new camera?

    In this price range (the beforementioned £120.- ) I definitely recommend Canon, and if physical size is an issue, you'd go for the IXUS-series.   I've been reviewing cameras for the largest Danish camera magazine, and I have the largest Danish photographer community website. My experience...

    Review by 'jakobdam' on item 'Shure SE215'

    First, we must remember the price point. In Denmark, they compete with the likes of Beyer Dynamic MMX-101ie, Sony XBA-2, Creative Aurvana 3, AKG K-350 etc...   Accessories supplied in the box: The earbuds are all of a pretty good quality, and they make a really good sealing, which can be...

    Do you think audiophiles have a much deeper appreciation of music than the general public?

    I bet a generalization of audiophile people in this matter, is very impossible. I've met audiophiles who spend more time tuning and balancing their equipment, than actually listening to music. I've also met audiophiles who just want to listen to music the way they think the music should sound...
