Quote:   That's strange. If it detects something and produces the smiley then the Line-in jack must be functioning. I should try using another firmware. Its not the LOD since using an IC on the headphone out of the iPod or Cowon J3 isnt working as well.    

Anybody know how to use the Line in function? or is mine broken? It's supposed to function as an amplifier right? So its iPod Line out -> Studio Line in -> Headphones on Studio HP Out.   It detects that something is connected (Smiley Face) but I cant hear anything when the iPod is playing...

The iPod Nano 6g is really heavent sent for a clip-based music device. It has less features than the older Nanos but damn, that sound quality really packs a punch for such a small device.   It's leagues ahead of old generation Nanos, the Sansa Clip+ and it has a lineout if ever you decide to...

Quote: Ditch the E1. It was made for older iPods and honestly, the iPod Touch 4th gen has a very clean HP out and sounds better than the E1. It's a different story if you use an E6 or an E17 though. Those are great.   If you need a high capacity cowon, look at the X7 which features a...

1. HD650 + Zu Mobius 2. ATH ES10 + Denko Cables 3. Grado HF2 4. Westone UM3x 5. Monster Turbine Copper 6. Sennheiser IE8 7. VSonic GR07 8. Aiaiai Tracks 9. Yuin PK3  

Quote: I agree. The Clip+ definitely sounds great, but it wont sound better than a Nano 6g for example or a Cowon player  

Quote: I agree. My other gripe about the player is that it just freezes when I try to add ALL files from the sdcard, which I find hilarious since the default behavior when it boots up is to play ALL files from the device already.   I would also like the ability to be able to play the...

Quote: Unfortunately no, as far as I've read so far only the DX100 or the HM801 can match up to the Studio-V's sound quality. And they both have horrible battery life.   Not to mention they are not very portable. The Studio V is a really unique device imo. I really cant go back to...

Yuin PK3 is your answer bro. They're not small but they're definitely the best option

The newer firmwares for the SGS2 have improved sound quality significantly, but it's still no match for an iPhone 4 or an SGS1 with Voodoo   I can vouch for a Voodoo'ed SGS1 as the best sounding handset i've ever heard.   I went through all 3 phones but I dont really use my phone for...

Nice ES10 over there. High 5 to a fellow owner!   No microSD slot is almost a dealbreaker but I can live with it if it's at least the 32gb version.   How's the battery life? As an Android user,I know how much of a battery hog the OS is so I'm really curious if it meets the 20hour...

Go for the E30, they are very very very.   Did I say very? Good.   I dont think any of the MEE products compare well to it

Yes, I see that you're on the fence but there is really nothing that can compare to these for the price

UM3x is hands down the most comfortable universal IEM ive tried/owned and because of that it gets a great seal and isolates the best out of the universals as well.

Fake Customs? what?   Who would go through the trouble of remolding your ears with fake iems

 man they are being AGGRESSIVE.   The Dual BA + Dynamic really interests me and it looks like I will probably own one next year :P Quote:  

Quote: Don't the GR07 is much better value :P   The EX1000 sounds better sure, but not by much and I mean the GR07 is REALLY competitive when you compare both, and it's about 1/3 the price!   Although the EX1000 is pretty unique and the only IEMs that sound like it are the lower end...

I havent heard the m2c but I do own a pair of Pk3s and I dont think anything can beat it at the price when it comes to pure sq. Of course if you factor in isolation then it doesnt help.

535 for me. The 940 is just too bass light, but it does have the better treble.   The 535 are more expensive and it's justified.

Was disappointed with the W4 as well compared with my UM3x when I tested it. The vocals just werent up to par for an IEM of that price. The treble was very good though. The bass was more detailed as well but lacked the impact I was accustomed to on the UM3x. The instrument separation wasnt there...

Gr07 for me, its almost no contest. Though they serve different purposes Sent from my Super Galactic Spaceship from Korea II

After a trip to Jaben HK, I am now a proud owner of these  And they definitely do not disappoint   Price was great as well having nabbed it for less than 150 converted! And got to meet Wilson as well there.   As for the EX1000, they definitely blew me away and I would prefer them over...

I know right? Man this hobby is making me crazy    What the UM3x has over the GR07 is the detail and instrument separation which it still does better and is still the better performer overall. However what it lacks is the Soundstage and the Dynamic PRaT which BA IEMs simply cannot reproduce...

TF10 is superior in some aspects but it doesnt beat the overall fluidity of the SE530 imo. It does get better with cable upgrades (naysayers can shut it)   It's also uncomfortable to wear for hours because of its design, but it is indeed very easy to acquire and quite affordable nowadays

They certainly do have some similarities. I dubbed the GR07 "the dynamic version of the um3x" after hearing it.   I need a GR07 to partner with my UM3x :( the reachable price doesnt help my itch for it either
