Anything similar from Sennhieser , akg, Sony, AT ? Would Superlux 681 Evo have more bass than the Philips?

I got new Philips Shp9600. I am ok with most of the sound qualities except the bass - it’s a bit light. I am not a bass head but I do like a fuller sound. I don’t like bass bleeding through to low-mids and muddying things up. So what other headphones could I consider ? What are my options ...

Looking for an amp ~$100. What else out there would be better the A3 ? I will most likely be using with basic 32phm headphones like apple earpods and koss/senn. What about the Sabaj PHA2 ? I like the chip in it but its not clear how good the amp is. There's not much talk about it here. Also, I...

Bump. as I am also looking for the same info - between D03K and D07 are the dac chips and output opamps same ?

I have the Pure i-20 ipod dock and I feel the dac in it is pretty good so I was wondering if there was a way to use that as a regular dac for other sources ? the only input on the dock is the ipod 30pin connector. So one would need some kind of an adapter that converts from spdif to the apple 30...

I have a Pure i-20 dock that I using with a 4th gen ipod touch and am still not clear whether I should expect the volume control slider on the device (ipod, iphone) to work or not. Because sometimes it does work like a normal volume control and sometimes it just doesn't. When I say it doesn't I...

Hi, I am considering purchasing a Macbook Air or Pro (current versions) and still deciding between the two. Something that would help me decide would be answers to the following questions -   Does the Air and Pro both have a "Stereo Line IN" option ? I am not asking about a Mic In. I am...

And search for my recent posts I had created a thread with frequency response and distortion measurements of these headphones.

They were ok but the mx581 are significantly better. I didn't like the emphasized mid bass of the Jvc, that's about the only thing I remember about them. Nothing about it too bad in the midrange or highs for $6.

well the MX581 are no longer available and I just want another pair of earbuds. Makes sense ?

I have a pair of MX581 and they work great for me. I like the sound and more importantly they are a good fit in my ears (small). I have tried many other earbuds they become uncomfortable (too big) for me after just a few minutes of listening. Even the apple headphones that came with my 4th gen...

I got all these headphones while searching for a good earbud. After listening to them I thought I'd measure them and see if my subjective impressions match with objective measurements or not.   First is just a basic frequency reponse comparison - JBL Tempo (Magenta) JVC 150 Gumy (Yellow)...

Thanks. I will check what is the thickness/diameter on those although I can get some idea about the relative size as compared to the pin, from the picture. but yeah if it works out thats exactly what I am looking for.   Senn makes a cable for HD222/414/424 that might work too, and also...

Doesn’t have to be ‘Y’ out of the box, all I need is just two parallel dual conductor or coax type cables stuck together (like zipcord or speaker wire). Then I can just pull the two parellels apart as much distance I want at the headphone end. Thanks for the Senn suggestion. Looks like they...

Quote: Do you mean the headphone amp ? or the line out opamp ? or both ? My original question pertains to the line out analog only.

I have seen a lot of discussion about bypassing the Ipod's dac, and there seems to be some options available to bypass the internal dac and extract the digital signal out of the device. However, there seems to be no clear concensus as to whether bypassing the internal dac really does gain...

Broke my AKG K81DJ cable and tried splicing and soldering it but the strands are too thing and have really weird insulaton coating on them - they just break up when trying to scrap the insulation off. So I have no choice but to replace the whole dang cable all the way from the drivers to the...

Been listening to the JBL Tempo and MX 581 for a couple of days now. After several hours of break in and listening I think I have reached a conclusion that MX 581 is a clear winner.   There is something lacking about the high registers of the JBL Tempo - they are very subdued - and I did not...

Long time Ksc-75 user. Love them. Just want to try some earbuds. Ordered the tempo and mx 581 from wws and will be getting the Jvc 150 gumy from amazon as well. Will let you know how this all turns out in the end. Thanks all!

so wwstereo off ebay or buy.com would be safe ? (worried about counterfeit and all..) I might give the JVC HA-F150 a try.

Those are not in current product lineup of Senn so I guess they are not made any more. Any others ? I know about the 250+ IEM compare thread, I wish there was one for earbuds.

I dont like inserting IEMs into my ear canals. I am ok with the apple ipod style earbuds. I just need something a bit more comfortable and better sounding. What can I consider for earbuds in the $25-30 range ?

anyone here used this ?   http://www.amazon.com/Ziotek-ZT1900665HC1-3-Feet-30Pin-Stereo/dp/B0051MQJ7A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1351807040&sr=8-2&keywords=ipod+rca

guess I should have mentioned.. I believe paying anything over $10 for such a simple thing is ridiculous...

There are tons of lod cables (like the Fiio L3, L10, etc..) that terminate into a 3.5mm plug. But why am I not able to find a lod cable terminated with RCA plugs ? I understand I could buy a dock and then add a 3.5mm to RCA cable but I don’t want to do that – its got to be more simple and...
