I'm afraid I don't know what that means effectively. But as long as I like the sound I probably shouldn't worry too much ;)

I ended up turning the BT down in the mixer til 2 notches above silence, now it's quite usable. Still weird how it worked differently before. I remember reading somewhere to always have software volume at 100% (for PCs), which I get, but I'm unsure how this works here. Is the mixer applied...

Edited mine too ;)

Using the equalizer could work, I guess... That's how I thought it worked with Bluetooth, too. Until recently xD *sighs* Oh well, I'll deal somehow.

Meeeh. I'm 97% sure it worked almost like an analog volume control until a week or two ago :| It's silly. Everything above 20% is loud enough to destroy my ears, anyway! So I have maybe 4 steps between "silent" and "pain"! This sucks!

So I've had my E5 for a while now, and I'm pretty sure I was always able to regulate the volume in very fine steps with the wheel on it. But recently it seems to jump between discrete volume values, which is really annoying, because it's often either too loud or too quiet! (I only use it over BT...

No kidding! It sounds so much better than my phone's headphone jack, even over bluetooth!

Huh. I guess that makes sense, in a twisted way. This is my first Sound Blaster since the Windows XP days, I think :grin:

I just got the E5 and it's very noisy. I can hear the noise even over the music on my V-Moda M100s. No matter if I use USB or Bluetooth. Is there some known fix for this, or am I gonna have to send it back? And if I send it back, are they all so noisy or did I get a bad one and a replacement E5...

I'm thinking of buying a Creative Sound Blaster E3 for portable use. Since cables tend to die very quickly in my pockets, I'm planning to use Bluetooth pretty much exclusively. Right now I'm using V-Moda M100s as my main portable headphones, but I have my eye (or ear?) on some IEMs, too. Would...

Hi!   I've bought an O2 and it because it come with an American PSU I bought a European one on ebay. Sadly it hums loudly ("loudly" compared to everything else in my room, which is essentially silent, I can't hear it over music playing).   So, I do what I should have done in the first...

Hi!   I bought a pair of Sleek Audio CT6 CIEMs a few years ago, and they are great! ... except for the cables, which broke after about a year. I bought one extra cable from them (for 25€!) and it was ****. It broke after a month!   So now I got these really quite amazing headphones and no...

Just in case anyone's wondering, I've decided to go with the NAD Viso HP50.

I got an annual budget at work for "workplace improvement" and since the year is nearing it's end, and there's still 250€ left in the budget, I'm thinking of getting new cans.   Since they should block out my coworker's noise, I need them to isolate well, and since I'll wear them all day they...

Quote: It's not the bass (not all of it) that's lacking, it's just the sub-bass, the really deep frequencies. And I'm the one who noticed it, sadly, I can't blame anyone else ;)   But you are right, maybe I'll get over it. I won't be making any impulse buys, don't worry.   Unless...
