    IEMs with great clarity and soundstage, unamped for iPod Touch

    Hi, I read through all the IEM threads but I couldn't find a simple answer: what would be the ideal IEMs to use unamped that have a great soundstage and clarity? I have an iPod Touch, don't plan on amping. I'm considering the Apple in-ears but I read that they have no isolation and a weird...

    US iPod Touch: volume cap with EU firmware?

    I bought on Allegro.pl - the Polish eBay - from a Polish importer. I don't think they ship to Dubai. Here's the link to the (closed) auction: APPLE IPOD TOUCH 32GB 3GEN 32 GB Fabryka Aukcji (970174318) - Aukcje internetowe Allegro

    US iPod Touch: volume cap with EU firmware?

    Any update really. I was under the impression that the volume cap depended solely on the firmware and aprently that's the case but if you have a US serial number iTunes will download a US firmware regardless of your location. Anyway iTunes always asks before installing a new update so when in...

    US iPod Touch: volume cap with EU firmware?

    Quote: Originally Posted by elfary NO. Firmware updating it's based on the serial number of the device not on its physical location. You get an american s/n unit and you'll be free from this cap. That's why doing the opposite (updating and european device on a usa pc) would neither...

    US iPod Touch: volume cap with EU firmware?

    Hi everyone. I'm awaiting delivery of a US iPod Touch 3G 32Gb that I bought online here in Poland. It's gonna be a few weeks before I get it. The seller advertised it as being from the US specifying that it doesn't have the infamous volume cap. My question is: will the iPod be capped when...

    Any real competitors to the iPod anymore?

    I "attacked" Android because for me it's just the most recent example of how not to take on Apple (if that's what Google is trying to do with Android) Android will never surpass the iPhone on the sole point of design just as Sony daps can't win the majority of people with their cell phone'like...

    Any real competitors to the iPod anymore?

    well my words sounded biased, sorry for that. i was actually trying to make general remarks on why apple has more mass appeal than most other brands. simplicity is the way to go if you want that because most people simply aren't skilled enough or bothered to customize, download, drag and...

    Any real competitors to the iPod anymore?

    This is what iPods have: complete user experience, from the look and feel of the item to the seamless integration with the software that manages it and the store that provides content for it. design consistency of both hardware, formware, software, promotional material, message it gets to...

    What should I get instead of an iPod Touch?

    What's wrong with metallica, aside form the fact that they're greedy, balding idiots who understand nothing about their (broke) fanbase? i know what some of you might say but trust me, I have evidence to prove what I say: not only did they try to stop people from downloading mp3s and...

    should i buy a px-100

    hi, while the px100's are a good value for the price (very well constructed, lightweight, foldable and they come with a hard case) I have to warn you that they have VERY booming bass (much more than the CX300's) and almost no mids, resulting in claustrophobic sound. Vocals are recessed...

    another oh no the ipod classic is pretty good thread.

    You bought a new player and you're happy with it: that's cool. Congratulations! It feels so good, doesn't it, knowing you made a choice that's right for you. I like my Classic too. I pair it with Sennheiser 485's at home and it rocks. Too bad mine has the EU volume cap (merci beaucoup you...
