    Bose QuietComfort 20 discussion thread

    I couldn't find any thread dedicated to these new bose NC IEM's, so I thought I'd create one as I think they deserve one.       I just have them for a week, so I have no deep insights yet. However, in another thread I already give a small impression. I will quote myself:   ''Well, I got...

    So who's best? Cirrus Logic or Wolfson?! :confused_face(1):

    well, Like the title states. I hear alot of things about Wolfson DACs being better in the older (5.5G) iPod's and so on. But at the same time the iPhone 3GS SQ is said to be terrific and the 2009 Classic seems to have way better performance too. So what is it now?! Is the Cirrus Logic DAC...

    Did my iPhone amp open up or is it placebo??

    Well, after the OS3.0 upgrade I (just like many) noticed a sound change. But my UE TF10 were suddenly lacking bass. I wondered why this came so, audio nut as I am, I went researching. Finally I came to a point where I decided to Jailbreak my iPhone and try a volume unlock. It worked! It is...

    OS3.0's sound is lacking, welcome MDR-EX500 ;) UPDATE: ended up with UE Metro.Fi 170

    Well, My beloved Triple.fi's aren't that happy with the new sound sig of the iPhone with OS 3.0 The Bass is just lacking. The rest of the sound is just fine with me, but it's the bass (in combi with the TF10) that's annoying the crap out of me. So I'll team my TF10's up with my NW-S705...

    Like you can read in the title of this thread, the long forgotten Sony NW-S705 came back from the dead today. Found one at work and took it with me. I'd remember it having stellar audio performance, though I wasn't using Triple.fi's back in those days. Now back again with triple.fi's...

    iPhone 3G drives Triple.fi better with Volume hack??

    Hi guys, I just remembered that on my good'old iPhone 2G I used this volume hack to get more sound out of it. Now I began to worry about the sound of my iPhone 3G. I love everything about it but the sound in combo with the triple.fi's is just missing something. Now I recall 'unlocking' the...

    Well, as the title states. After the 2.1 update the speaker seems a bit louder. My question is if this is the case with the Headphone jack output as well. So those who haven't updated please check the volume on both the HP jack and speakers before updating. Rgds

    Well, long before I came to Head-fi I was a die-hard Atraclife member. It was a great community with lots of information, help, support and kindness. They had great cover stories on the blog and it was very active at the time. Since Atrac is history, Atraclife was a bit doomed. And no...
