I want to put my iPhone in the backpack and use it with my IE8 using an inline remote and mic.   I thought there was a shorter cable available for IE8 ?   also what inline remote/mic would you recommend for the iPhone ?   my IE8 cable length is PERFECT now when my iPhone is in my...

  Quote: iPhone 3GS was probably the best purchase i have made in my life.   if i were you i would get an iPhone 4.  wait another week or two as there is still information coming in on possible bugs / shortcomings of this new product - then just get it.     questioning whether...

Ok upon suggestion in another thread i updated my iPhone to software version 4.0 and it has fixed the EQ problems i was having.  Where before all bass boosting presets used to clip now they do not.  That EQ is still not exactly what you would call advanced LOL but now that it at least works it...

double post ...  

Quote: true lol.

Quote: you're a lifesaver.   the "deep" , "bass booster" and "small speakers" presets in IOS4 seem to be working pretty good.

Quote: hahaha ! ! !   Quote:   apparently ignorance is not always bliss !   i remember when i was a little kid i noticed that when most people use equalizer they put ALL of the bands up to the max.  that problem doesn't seem to be going away :)   perhaps apple should...

Quote: and when do you use the touch, and why ?  what do you think it is better at ?

One more consideration.  My iPhone has physical volume +/- buttons which are easy to locate without looking by touch alone.  When the volume is too high or low i can reach into my pocket and fix while holding the bike's handlebars with the other hand and keeping my eyes on where i am going.  The...

Quote: the one that was clipping for me was "bass booster"   can you test it on a really bass heavy trance and verify it doesn't clip ?   i'm a little reluctant to upgrade because my old old old version supports tethering.  when i am at an airport etc i can go on the internet on...

Quote:   So is sony the only one with something like replay gain ?   The reason i don't want Sony is i am afraid the earbuds it comes with will be as good as my IE8 which would mean i wasted tons of money for nothing and would have to kill myself :)

Quote: so rockbox would add it's own features ... but would it lose D2's features like BBE ?

Quote: well then i might as well just put my macbook pro in my backpack :)   too much functionality i don't need.  i already have *the internet* on the iPhone which i will have to be carrying with me anyway.   maybe its a good product for somebody who doesn't already have a...

Quote: i would say:   Quote:  

Quote: so is the BBE processing in addition to the equalizer ?  or is equalizer part of it ?  can you run M3Bass and the EQ at the same time ?

Quote:   37 mw vs 29 mw is 1 decibel difference ( on the scale of 120 decibel hearing range ).  i don't believe that's a significant difference.   the fact that it has SDHC card slot versus micro SD slot i think is a serious plus, so is the price compared to J3.  the fact that out of...

Quote: hm ... would that be the J3 ?

as somebody who runs four rackmount digital sound processors in my home system i am a bit partial to gear with FUNCTIONAL equalizers in it.  which my iphone 3GS does not have.   i need a player with maximum ability to customize the frequency response, especially in the bass.  i need a unit...

Quote: how is the EQ on the samsungs ?   i heard that if u boost bass too much on s flo 2 it begins to distort ?

Quote:   but doesn't cowon also have 5 band parametric EQ ?  

Quote: hm.  only +/- 6 decibel is very unusual.  with IE8 this may be enough but with most headphones it won't be.  also the lowest band is as high as 63 hz which is silly for a 12 band EQ.  most of the compensation i need is actually BELOW that.

ok i can't stand iPhone.  the EQ is WORTHLESS.  half of the presets barely do anything, another half do what i don't need and yet some others outright CLIP and distort - TOTAL FAIL.  also i am kinda running low on the memory too on my 16 gig unit, i want 32 gig.   i have Sennheiser IE8 and i...

Quote: yeah, i am also surprised they made it.  it makes NO SENSE.  they made an audiophile priced headphone for people who are actually not mentally ill.  they probably figured that most audiophiles are posers and on the inside they are not really deaf :)  they figured people will buy...
