MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
Had an adventure with tips a few years back as a DIY project. Learned a lot in the process. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/169789/homemade-foam-ear-tips-for-iems Can simply go to the earphone store (superstore?) and order a variety pack. Stick the nozzle tube in your current...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
That's interesting. When I was trying to get more bass out of modded iM716s the flange tips were more bass-lite than the foam overall- and then even the composition of the foam (urethane, PVC and even memory foam) varied the sound. I basically built a number DIY foam tips from foam ear plugs...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
Quote: Yes, the 'offense' was due to a lack of 'science' offered, just a you're wrong without explanation, as I tried to explain. So I very much appreciate your now bringing up some of the science. And yes, please, let's bury this and move forward. Again, thank you for sharing this...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
This is an open forum. Having access to the "science", then this is the place to share it. Education would help all of us to separate the facts from the advertising, and would have added substantially to this thread. That would have been "politely pointing out a general technical error" and open...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
^^^Again, I disagree. Firstly, my findings of extensive testing and making of tips, attempting to increase bass in the iM716, and here the tips sent by the kind people of MEElec prominently effected the low freq, not the other way around. I think you will find most people here that have...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
^^^ I disagree. Seal can be equally good with different tips, yet many, myself included, can hear differences even in the composition of foam tips. Donut tips and flange tips even more so. I fail to see how simple pistonic movement is able to address these...- jSatch

Quote: Thank you, I do appreciate the clarification. But I don't understand, why can't the boundry effect work? Just because the wavelength is feet long should not exclude its reflection off a solid object that is less the distance than the size of the wavelength. The closer the...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
Quote: I'll have to check when I get home but the grey tips Painful Chafe is speaking of are for the M9 and I believe are bi-flanges. I have the clear M6 and the tips match the original tips in color, but seem to be larger tri-flanges, if I remember correctly. Quote: To...- jSatch

Are iPods a no-go for audiophiles?
Quote: Funny, I took mine mountain biking. Have a small external pocket that wraps around the strap of my Camelbak. Took everything out of the Camelbak and threw it in the washing machine. Only problem, forgot about the strap pouch and the iPod Touch. So my Touch went through the...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
Quote: Yup, those are exactly the tips I got too for the M9 that made the difference. They also have some tri-flanges for the M6 that do the same. The new M9 is no longer the same driver as the M6. The M9 also appears ported (bass reflex). Although ported speakers seemed to require...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
I agree goodvibes, deeper, less air = better coupling. Which is why the highs don't get drowned out. I used to design speakers and a small woofer in a small room coupled well and the system could sound balanced, but placed in a larger room couldn't move enough air and the bass would sound...- jSatch

Are iPods a no-go for audiophiles?
iPods are the McDonalds of audio. That's not to say the other DAPs are so much, if any better, so this pissing duel is kinda funny. There is a reason that good single ended amps can weigh in as backbreaking monsters that can keep your room warm on those cool nights. But for portable...- jSatch

MEElec M6 & M9: Chameleons of Portable Phones
I won't go into a review of either of these phones, or post pictures, as that has all been done before, and I'm just too lazy a sod to bother. Instead I though it important for people to realize the potential of these phones, their chameleon nature, just by swapping tips. So I decided to...- jSatch
