Just got swapped my black SE215 for a clear one and mucn to my surprise i found this: Does anybody has stumbled into these Shure olives with filter? This caught me completely off guard! Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm

I'm wondering lately how does distortion add up in the playback chain.   I mean...   If i have a 16Ohm iem with 0,1% THD and i feed it with an amp that has 0.07% THD...   The overall THD that reaches my ear is 0,1 + 0,07 ? Or just 0'1 since it masks anything below ?   My subjective...

Any feedback on how does compare the line out of the Lighting adapter dock vs the old idevices built in line out?   The lack of a built in line out in the 2012 iDevices is holding me back since it's the more ubiquitous connection in the audio world.   Thanks in advance

As usual by cortesy of the skilled folks running Goldenears:   http://goldenears.net/board/index.php?mid=GR_Mobile&document_srl=2456504   Terrific performance with slight step back in output impedance (Which now is 3.27, where iPhone 4 has 0.97 and iPhone 4S has 1.9).

Last Thursday i updated my iPhone 4S 64gb to iOS 6 and right away i experienced two nasty issues that eventually led me to get it exchanged under warranty for a new one running iOS 5.1 at an Apple Store. First issue was that under iOS 6 whenever i unlocked the iPhone by sliding the finger...

Being the heir of the awesome sounding iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S i think that it would be interesting to set a thread discussing the headphone out quality of the upcoming iPhone 5.   In the realm of the 16 bits world i don't think that there is much room for improvement (Aside from more output...

As an owner of an iPhone 4S that just got an offer to swap it for a Galaxy S3 i took a little while to convert the accurate measurements taken by the helpful and skilled guys of Goldenears.net   This is just a thread meant for reference aimed to guys that take into account objective data...

All the way from Japan. The measurements from the current iPod Classic (MC297) (Referred to -in the RMAA's- as 6G).   http://sonove.angry.jp/RMAA/iPodClassic6_HP-P1_HM-602_x1060.htm.   http://sonove.angry.jp/RMAA/iPodClassic6_nano6_iPhone4.htm   Output impedance is 5 Ohms. And it is...

After a few days trying the UM3x amped and unamped i can't help to notice how remarkably well this iem scales with an outboard amp. I've been amping it with an iBasso T3 through an iPod Classic line out and the improvement it brings not only to the frequency response but mostly to the soundstage...

I've found out that multiarmature IEMs have a nonlinear impedance that tends to trigger impedance bridging issues with the amp that drives them and it might lead to some frequency response dips and humps that can be really audible and can keep the iem from performing to its maximum capability...

I'm about to pull the trigger for either a pair of Shure SE535 or Westone UM3x and ordering custom tips for the one chosen so i'm about to fork out quite some money.   Thus i'd really appreciate some detailed impressions from people who has actually  owned both of them (I do not need the...

My father spilled some water over his iphone 4 and the wifi and hold button got broken so he turned it to me to get it fixed by Apple. Thus i've had it for a couple of days till UPS picked it up. During this unexpected time with an iPhone 4 i tried it's HPO and the LO as well. The HPO was as...

I have just listened to the straight line outs of the 3GS and the 09 iPod Classic (No amps) and to my surprise i noticed that the 3GS line out is louder than the 09 Classic one.   Given the similarity of their HP outs (The 3GS being a tad better) i used to think that they share dacs and it...

Finally i skipped the tempting Touch and bought a 2009 iPod Classic 160 Gigs after reading a few scattered and surprising opinions about a sound quality improvement. Having had last year Classic 120 I never thought that i would get anything else aside from 40 more gigs which to me it's great...

I'm in doubt these days and i need help from wise headfier's...I've been enjoying for more than a year an iPod Classic amped through LOD. I found its sound very respectable and clean. And i love the chance of having all my discography at the palm of my hand literally anywhere at any moment...
