looks good

WOW, good information, thanks

more impression with middle size tips(3.5mm) less bass, naturally, but more tight, and more bright and clear. you can feel peak in treble but not really strident. not a ideal tips for outdoors, but for indoors I think this is right tips.

.Quote:Originally Posted by coolcat  yeah,  I had also thought 20 has better vocal, but after I tried different tips and some eqing, I decided that I could live with either of them with some tweaks,  just like I had once seduced by lcd-3's seductive vocal but ended up with lcd-2 with some...

I bought isine 10 yesterday, after having listening both of them, isine 10 and 20. impression 1. isolation: forget about it! 2. comfort : very good 3. idiocy: look very idiot in public place(but no one cares, just don't stare any mirrors!) 4. sound : I used my go-to set up, which consists...

It's depending on recordings, but yes, it has a sibilance.however, sibilance is the only problem of n90q, I mean, sonic-wise.

But this is compensated fr, why we need a huge 9kh peak?

before, but true note doesn't seem to eliminate the 9kh peak according to the french site 'lesnumerique'   http://www.lesnumeriques.com/casque-audio/akg-n90q-p23387/test.html

  that was my wish...but unfortunately it wasn't...     !!

everybody beats pm3. One of the greatest strength of pm3 is makes other half-decent headphones' sound more alive and funnier. So I have kept my pm3.

http://goldenears.net/board/GR_Headphones/5998015 The measurements are good.

    except 9hk peak, almost perfect fr for closed phones.

 

Wow, guys, the measurements are not bad at all for iem.

thanks for clarification. but still, I don't think the extent of 'decay' can provide fr extension info.

well said, actually I reluctantly included the csd graph because usually it doesn't provide any extra info that fr graph already provided and can cause wrong impression.

Sorry, what do you mean by 'decay'?

Measurements after 10kh is grey area in any setup, but having said that, what you hear could be a difference in 10kh peak level, which 1500 has more.

Well, Yes we hear differently. usually between 5kh~8kh. But typical audeze models have big dip in those fr. And sine seems no exception. el8 open or close has bigger dip around 7.5kh, but that dip is very narrow, and on the whole, el8 closed seems have more treble energy than any other...

I do eq all the time, pm3 has very linear fr, so it's been easy.

Well, el8 closed is the closest to diffusion field target among audeze models, http://ko.goldenears.net/board/index.php?mid=GR_Headphones&category=3525338&document_srl=5855176 so I don't see how sine has more clarity. I auditioned two Sines in the store with el8 closed and titanium, and el8s...

No, titanium is more bright

      contrary to some condescending comment, I auditioned sine very seriously and reached my conclusion. i also compare sine with hd600, shure 1540.  there are no headphones that have great bass/mid/treble in itself, they  have 'great bass' only when compared to other phones. and...

I did audition sine, again. This was 5th times. I didn't like it last 4 times. And this also I coulnt find the reason. Too restrained in certain treble area so makes it have soft sound, which is good for certain people. But at the same time probably upper treble is emphasized, unnaturally, so...
