well if you compare it to S3 or S1 it's 2 steps behind in audio quality. I would not say it's audiophile.

Hi,   I'm about to buy a CKR7 but I'm wondering if there is a ventilation hole anywhere on the casing. I just got rid of a newly bought JBL J22 because it sealed off 100% my ear canals. It increased pressure so much that my eardrums practically couldn't resonate sufficient enough. I believe...

Anyone tried to 'upgrade' the IE8's sound image by adjusting theangle of the phones directing into the ears? I mean adjusting the phones by hand? It was awful to realize how precise these little cans they are when pointed in the right direction.

guys, I'm in despair. my IE8s are just not improving. it's well after 120 hours of burn in. it's slow, veiled, not pronounced, treble spikes are still there.... UM3X or Denon c751? I know the Denon is a different class, but I can't think of anything else. UM3X has no treble spikes and its...

have to agree with the Original Poster. my IE8s is around a 100 hours too, and the bass is just muddy. it's a slow haedphone, veiled sound all over. it has qualities but some of the lower end IEMs are doing certain things better. either the IE8 needs a really good source and amp and 500...

bump

yet an other paradox. w3's bass is too much for you, um3x have good bass, and yet you prefer W3..

so what? an overrated teenager is wearing Beyer. same was on BBC raddio one live lounge. and the same goes for all the bands that performed there.... really strange isn't it?

add: second part is better. add2: no. empire of the sun? with trentemoller? NO. add3: pendulum? are you kidding me?

also check out uk chartlist. loads of cr*p can be found there too.

cism? hah. there're some really good ones here, but most of them jsut cheesy as hell.

K330 has a spiked up treble out ofthe box. haven't burn it in yet though. but bass is nice..

porta pro? it's old and ugly. but bass heavy I heard

IE6 MIGHT be the best choice from here. but I haven't heard it, so, don't really give false advises

paramore maybe is for you. or the jonas brothers.

fall out boy is one of the things I hear on the readio and turn it off or switch channel in that instant. no offense.

atrios also needs an amp, doesn't it ?

the IE6 question is a tough one. wery few people stops at the IE6, most of them are buying IE7 if anything. I thinkg you would not notice any big (not even smaller) improvements with any of those you had mentioned. in my opinion.

we're trying to help here for people who are standing before choices. for what I wanna add to this thread is my opinion on IE8. I agree with doctorjuggles's post on the IE8s nature when it comes to electronic music: wierd. I have quite a few favorites in electronic music and I know how...

the only advantage of the FiiO amps is the cheap price. as long as they keep it under $70ish there's a good chance the E7'll be a success. any more expensive than that and people (avarage users, first time amp buyers) will think it's just an other expensive dac *thing*. others will think it's...
