So basically your saying that I'm going to have to pay a lot for an IEM that would compete with the bass of the XB500s but that you can't go wrong with the CK-700s? And just out of curiosity, do you just burn your stuff in using music or do you use pink noise and white noise? Once again thanks...

Than you so much for taking the time to help me! And damn your right... 7 bucks is pocket change. Ill defiantly give them a try. Do you think they would have as much bass as the Sony XB500s? And would they be good for dubstep?

Yeah I did hear the highs on the JVCs were horrible. Do the 2 IEMs that you listed above still have as much good tight subwoofer bass as the JVCs? And also of the 2 listed above which one would you recomend and why?

What makes you recomend these over the JCVs mentioned above? And can anyone compare these to the Sony XB500s? (Which I currently own)

Okay so what's the best IEM for me that's under $20?

What can you say about the Sony XB500s?

More and subwoofer like

Anyone?

Ha that's funny cause I actually bought the xb500s and the bass sounds soo similar the skull candy titans.

Generally speaking for ear/head phones in the $50-$100 price range. Which type of headphone has better bass?

Or wron on the ps3 only supports DTS. It support DD5.1 also. I know so because I have turtle beach headset that only accepts DD5.1. Any ways, I'm just curious to why my DVD receiver only supports DTS And not the basic DD5.1.

The receiver is about 2 years old. It's an RCA receiver the reason that it only has an output is because its also a DVD player. And also, I don't believe my receiver supports DD because whenever I send a DD signal to it it makes a really loud bad rapid clicking noise that sounds kinda like a...

The receiver has an HDMI output but not input

I want to watch a movie on my ps3 and I have a receiver that supports DTS but not DD5.1 for some reason (it makes a horrible loud snaking sound when I output DD5.1 to it. So my question is, should I output LPCM or DTS to my receiver? And if I output LPCM then what Chanel's should I use? FWI: I...

So how do I know what level is ok to set the volume? The iPod touch just gives a bar and does t measure it I decibels. Don't the xb500s go up to about 100 or so decibels? So can't I just divide 100 by the number of bar settings in the volume to get the decibel volume? Given the dynamic range is...

Well I like to listen to them at a pretty high level. Not high enough to cause ear problems but still pretty loud. As long as im not hearing clicking or bass distortion I guess I can listen to them pretty loud right?

For burn in I'm guessing that I should just burn them in using dubstep music?

Anybody know if downloading from iTunes is better than downloading from amazon? Also what is the bitrate of the songs downloaded from iTunes and amazon? I just feel like it would be easier to buy through iTunes because I have an iPod touch.

Thanks guys! Hey rocko1. Did you read my older post on this page about how the clicking went away inmy xb500s when I played it at a higher bitrate? Does any one know why that is?

And how do you know what the dynamic range of a song is? And so I'm guessing that the higher the bitrate the more dynamic range a song has?

So will the iPod touch 4th gen support FLAC? And are you saying that compressed music is worse than uncompressed music?

Ok so when I listened to those songs with the clicking at a higher bit rate (256kbps I believe) I heard Absolutly no clicking whatsoever. The bass was good and clean, no distortion. The sound quallity was great. Why is it if I listen with my xb500s at 192kbps I hear clicking but if I listen to...

So where do all you audiophiles get your music at?

Ok what exactly is a bottomed out driver? I don't have any EQ on and I tried listening to this at high levels and medium levels and the clicking is still there however, it seems to go away when playing at a low level. Not all songs do this. So I'm not sure if its the headphones because I can...

Vision is one of the dogs that doesn't have as much clicking. No it doesn't click in the beginning but there are slightly noticeable clicks in the background around the "bass drop" part. I geuse this might be the "muddy" bass people were talking about?
