Quote: I agree, I removed the tape too.

Quote:   I own a Galaxy note II.  I have both the MH1c now, along with the 8320.

I have no life either so I wasted another abing hours all my tips and tricks.   Comply t-400 tips on backwards with the tape mod still gets my vote. It's likely all in my head but try as I might, I can't get them to sound better.   I have to keep reminding myself, it's all about the...

Quote: Good thing this is a hobby and not a business.

Quote: Explain this mod please.

Quote: There is another tip out there that is less money and said to better. I lost the name, all I know it was also foam and I think it was made in the UK. The advantage the person claimed was that it had a tube that run the length of the tip. Why is that better?   Some people claim...

Quote: On mine, taping up that hole gave it more bass. It wasn't clean bass but there was more. My guess is, they figured out if they drilled a hole that the bass would be more balanced with mids and highs. You can also tape up the hole and punch a smaller hole in it.

Quote: Awesome and thanks!   I'm on Persues, I've been using stweaks, and noozxoide eizo rewire, it sounds very nice but not sure I'm getting everything out of it. This gives me something else to compare it to.

I just got my Note II. Sounds good already but wondering how I might improve the sound.   Software, firmware, hardware?   Tips, suggestions and links would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks!

Quote: I found the exact same thing so I put the Comply on backward. Now, the inside tube shoots straight down the ear canal and nothing get's lost. Doing it that way also keeps the ends opens should the end of the tip be hitting skin inside the ear. I think I read where the muffle comes...

Quote: I agree and I'm not convinced the comply tips are the end all, be all. Better for sure than stock tips but still might not be optimal.   If anybody here has the comply's 400's, install them backwards and cover up the port hole on the inside of the driver. How does that change...

Quote: Yes, actually I bought the t-400 but it's the same material as the TX. Sound is much better because I can get a good seal.   http://www.amazon.com/Comply-Foam-Tips-T-400-Platinum/dp/B001DXGBII

My Comply Tx-400's came and this is the best money I've spent since the 8320 itself.  They fit, seal, stay in place and sounds MUCH better.   With tips, I'm in at $10. They don't fit, sound, look, or function like $10 ear buds.

Quote: I decided I hate the cable on the Sony so I've been reaching for my 8320 and tx-400 combo.

Here are my EQ settings as of today. How does this compare to your settings?  

Quote: I wish the story would have been otherwise being the romantic I am. Patent infringement is a high form of flattery.   At least someone knew something good when they heard it.  I wonder what other products they reversed engineered? Those may also be quite good. :)

Quote: I had a problem with fit too and finally abandoned the idea of placing them in my ears as shown in this thread. (L and R straight up)    Instead, I just tried different locations until I found where they were "most comfortable" in my ears, and as far as I can tell, they sound...

I went on a tip hunt this morning. I tried every tip I could find. One thing I did notice is that blocking any of that sound is a bad idea. Regardless of the seal you have between your ear and the outer side of the tip, you want that inner hole a clear path and pushing everything unobstructed...

I ordered the Comply tx-400's last night along with two more pair of 8320's. I got these from Amazon this time. We'll see if there is a quality control issue vs. Monoprice.   ( I'm also a Zappa fan. Hot Rats, Fillmore east, Waka Jawaka, Ruben and the Jets.  I choose music today based on what...

Quote: Uh huh. This time cheap was good.   I read most of this thread today. Some were pretty rough on the OP about his claims. Some were buying them 10 at a time, others hated them.  Some were concerned about quality control. There  was a count down to sell out, then a restock and sell...

Quote: Great idea. I need those myself!   On a side note, my son heard them briefly. His comment was they sounded better than his Skull Candy. His others are Technic RP-DL1200's so he knows something about decent sound.   Once you get them set, they are very secure. Fiddly right...

Quote: I'm certain of it too. I don't have mine amped. Mostly just on my Galaxy Note II with the Wolsen DAC and it's whopping 2w output + Poweramp. Like Dsnuts says "It will shake your eyeballs". They may hit 20, not cleanly but think I hear it trying.   I'm not doing the tape mod. It...

Oh, here's another thing I found out. Like someone else said in this thread, I tried larger than normal tip. They didn't go in the canal as far but made a much better seal outside the ear canal. This works pretty well too.

I feel like the 8320 could play better sound than I'm capable of producing with my hardware and EQing. It's like the 8320 is just laughing at me."Is this the best you got?" It's balanced, pleasant and interesting. I can enjoy listening all day without feeling beat up. I'm no audiophile...
