    Recent change to iPod/iPhone built-in EQ?

    I've been listening to iPhones and/or iPods in one version or another going back to the iPod 4G click-wheel. The built-in EQ has always been crap (as many on these boards can attest) because it caused clipping and distortion due to what I was told was an "additive" rather than subtractive model...

    Where to buy Sennheiser CX550?

    It looks like these are going to be my PK1 replacements (unless someone can steer me to something better/comparable). Anyone know where I can find these shipped to the US without costing a small fortune? I take it all the listings on eBay (usually from Hong Kong) are fakes?

    HELP! My XP amp and PK1s are toast!!

    My beloved work rig just went up in flames when I plugged in the DC adapter (which I've done many times before) while listening to some music. I heard a loud buzzing noise followed by a burning sensation in my ears as the buds quickly heated up. I hurried and unplugged everything and turned off...

    Size comparison: PK1 vs. stock Apple earbuds?

    Can anyone who has both tell me which of these is smaller? If you have the exact diameter in millimeters even better. I'm thinking of getting the PK1's to replace my PX100's at work but I always had difficulty jamming those stock Apple iBuds in my ears (too big). Also, how do you think they will...

    Yuin PK-1 size of earbuds?

    Can anyone who has these compare the diameter of the buds to the stock iPod earbuds? If you have an exact measurement in millimeters even better. I'm thinking of getting these to replace my 5.5G/XP/PX-100 work rig but I always had difficulty jamming those stock buds in my ears (too big). Also...

    Best small portable amp under $120?

    In terms of overall SQ. Would like to stay as small as possible. Here are the ones I'm looking at: C&C Box+ iBasso T2 MiniBox-D (or MiniBox-E if vastly better than the others) Using with iPod 5.5G->LOD->E4c/PX100. Open to other suggestions. Thanks!

    How would you rank in terms of SQ--> C&C Box+, iBasso T2, MiniBox-D??

    These seem to be the 3 smallest amps under $110. So far I haven't heard anything overwhelmingly bad about any of them. I might consider stepping up to the MiniBox-E if a huge improvement in sound. I would be using it with iPod 5.5G and E4c/PX100. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    C&C Box+ vs iBasso T2

    Searched the forum but didn't find a direct comparison between these two. I'm planning on one or the other in the next couple of weeks and was looking to get some opinions on which has the better sound quality. Overall build quality is also a consideration. They're both sexy little amps, and I...

    Shure warranty return problem... please help

    I recently returned my E4c's due to a cracked rubber seal around one of the drivers (where it connects to the cord) that led to intermittent sound loss in the right ear. But now Shure is saying they never received the package, even though it's been almost two weeks since the USPS delivery...

    Am I doing my HD650's justice??

    My SuperMini-III has been pullling double-duty as a portable and home amp. I use it with the AD8397 opamp, 5.5v boost and extra gain settings, standard impedance. It seems to drive my stock 650's well -- they sound clear, impactful, with good extension. Just wondering what if anything I'm...

    iVolume - no worky with iPod lineout... and other important discoveries

    I discovered something interesting when using iVolume... I initially wanted to use it to reduce the volume on all my files to make the iPod equalizer more useful. Initially, it worked great when using my E4's out of the headphone jack. But then I decided to venture into the world of portable...

    PA2V2 w/ iPod lineout... Too much gain!!

    Hey guys. Maybe somebody can help me out here. I find that I have to set the PocketAmp's volume to at least 3 o'clock to get a balanced sound. Only problem is, that's just way too much gain (i.e. earbleed levels) for the iPod's lineout with my E4c's. I'm using a Sik Ram Din if it matters. I...

    Not happy with my E4C's

    Just received these today from Earphone Solutions (great customer service btw). I've had the chance to listen to them for several hours now, and I have to say that I'm a little disappointed at the serious lack of bass with my 4G iPod. I upgraded from EX71's, which I realize have rather boomy...
