Quote: Without getting into the math, it would take about the maximum 10mW to reach a Sound Pressure Level of 100dB with a sensitivity of 94dB assuming you have a low impedance source which is about what you are mentioning.   Whatever portable device you have with these headphones...

Quote: I think they designed it specifically IAW the EU requirements which is why they chose such a low impedance and sensitivity (i.e. 12 ohms and 94dB with a maximum input power of 10mW):     Quote:   Cheers.

What is the volume setting required from an iPod Touch headphone out to adequately power these 12ohm impedance phones...  Given their marketing to ensure they respect the volume limitations as directed by the EU I would imagine you would not be able to get them too loud.  Just wondering if an...

Hi,   Try the KEF Direct website at:   http://www.kefdirect.com/  or http://www.kefstore.ca (for us Canucks):     Quote:   Not quite sure why they are $50.00 more for the Canadian _version_ since they are from the UK shipped the same distance to North America and the two...

Quote: Can you also evaluate the M200s?     Thanks!   Cheers.

Quote: The offending line from the Activity window when Safari goes into beach ball mode...

A little more research with the Activity window open in Safari and it appears to be related to the iframe for ads.saymedia.com loading.  It usually happens as soon as I click on a secondary link after loading any of the head-fi.org URLs.  For example, going to the For Sale forum and then...

The problems continue with Safari with the spinning beach ball of death on head-fi.   Everytime I access anything on head-fi it works for a few minutes and then Safari locks up and needs to quit.  This is the only site where I have had any issues.   Using Safari Version 5.1.8 (6534.58.2)...

Thanks.   Did you mean these ones:   http://store.sony.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=100803&storeId=20153&langId=200&productId=8198552921665815084    Cheers.

Hi everyone,   just picked up a set of these to try them out and they are very good for the price.  But, there doesn't seem to be any replacement tips (at least as far as Yamaha is concerned!).  I emailed all the online sellers of them to see if they had them or could get them and they...

Quote: Just tried that but found it too much for my ears.  It might be because I use the Comply TX100s which already open up the treble and are the best sounding tips I have had for my UM2s.  Adding even more sparkle wasn't necessary.   Cheers.  

Quote: Okay thanks.  Thought you might have a customized equaliser setting.   Cheers.

Quote: Hey Spyro,   just curious what you have set for your treble EQ boost in your iPod.  And FWIW the UM2s are fantastic IEMs.   Cheers.

Everyone, am looking at trying out one of the Shure black olive eartips that I have been led to believe fit the Westone UM2s that I just picked up. In the Westone UM2 box there are the two default sizes and I prefer the taller model. Based on this which Shure size should I order? Any...
