What a comprehensive and great review. A tight headband mod with the sennheiser 414 kramer modded pads, might make them look a little weird and yellow, but it increases the sound value compared to the clips. Add a 75 ohm resistor, decent amplification and a reasonable equivilant source, I...

Still sounds like you have have added additional resistance to it, adding the impedance cable to the P-version gives it a more clearer or transparant sound, but also means you have the increase the volume to receive or hear the same output

Have you measured the total impedance after you paralled the resistor, how did the output level sound afterwards, more or less?

I assume that using im616 with different resistor adaptors can give the same results?

I remember seen this DanT mod with the switches, quite impressive, was thinking about trying it out, but then again remembered my soldering limitation.. A250 sound interesting, but as I remember it´s not really out on the marked anymore?

To my ears the Nuforce-E7 with shure fomies has (just tried it today), as somebody mentioned, has the sennheiser characterics. Where as the im716 has more of a grado sound. I certainly enjoy both to use with different types of music.

Aren´t you just adding more resistance to them?

Sounds like you got the ER-4S. The P version has got an impedance around 26ohm or so, and then when you add the resistor cable of 75 ohm you have the S.

I can´t compare the 716 to the RE2, but comparing it to fex. super fi.3 or 5 etymotic 6i, denon 751, nuforce 7, it IMO definately don´t fall behind in soundstage and details, although it´s an an old timer... I have been using it with Rio karma, which amps it wonderfully, and also with the clip...

I prefer the PL-12 over the PL-30, they don´t fit me very well and I enjoy the sound signature of the PL-12 much better. I believe they are based on the same driver.

The shure olives improves the sound sound and comfortability of the SF3, they just need a little adjustment to fit them on the nozzle. I gave my wife a pair of red SF3 last year, and it introduced her to hi-fi heaven. I also ordered a pair of the UHP336 at 40 dollars, for the purpose to recable...

Don´t get the Bijou´s 3, they don´t sound like the X3i´s at all, they are much more bassy. Check out the soundmagics PL-12, they are basically the same as the X3i, regarding design and soundsignature

I prefer the the PL-12 over the PL-30 as well. Better soundstage, more clear sound, better speed, less and better definition in bass. Easier to find a seal with the PL-12 and I don´t spend time constantly adjusting the wire around my ear or trying to find a correct seal, as I do with the PL-30...

If the UHP336 is a rebranded Super fi.3, then in my opinion (I have both), it wacks the pl-30 in most aspects, especially in details, clear highs, mids, and a better defined bass. Durability also seems much better with the super fi.3. So 40 dollars is a great value price compared to the price...

Clear Bass position, is supposed to be when the knob is in the position the furthest distance from the center, or furthest away from the blue(left side) and red(right side) strain reliefs. The opposite position is the deep bass. I don´t believe that there´s much difference either, but then...

Thanks CLieOS for taking your time checking into this issue.

I believe it is, also, focalprice ships their items in a neutral parcel and sets the price at 10 dollars and a gift item, so it should pass through the sometimes restrictive Danish custom without you risking having to pay additional tax.

Hey, how do you know that I ordered a burger a few days ago.. but I still enjoyed it because I didn´t know anybody spat on it :-)

Yes, that´s right, but what if they have sold 793 other types of products that wasn´t fake, and then they sell 20 fake items, out of which maybe only 10 buyers finds out that they have bought a fake product and gives a negative rating, they are still going to end up with positive rating around...
