Got my ER0 today. Have to say, nice and balanced. I listened them in a library for few hours while studying. The sound doesn't stress ears with orchestral nor metal recordings, and that's great for background listening. This is mainly because ER0 doesn't have powerful bass or loud highs...

I ordered PK3's as a birthday present. I tested them a bit (I have the PK1's so you can imagine my interest). I got cold chills when I first time used them out of meizu M6 with After Forever: Withering Time. I was stunned. I was thinking can this be. PK3's sounded full and detailed rivaling...

I don't use the amp if I use my E4's (in noisy environments only), I just EQ highs. PK1's on the other hand benefit a lot. I didn't notice this first as I used low gain. I chanced it to high gain/low current and now its pretty good. Current doesn't seem to matter much, though I might do some...

I tested my friends iriver h320 from line-out with Move and PK1's. The volume of the player effects the volume coming from the Move and I wonder the reason for this. Also, sound from line-out with Move seems to sound the same as if I would use HP-out without Move, maybe even worse. Any...

Quote: The DAC on the Move is not bad. I enjoy listening from it in the office. It is not as good as the iPod line-out What iPod are you using? As I have undestood that 5g/6g are different but neither is clear winner. Too bad there are none other players with FLAC support to rival 6G...

I just found out that old portable CD player like this: Amazon.com: Sony DEJ615 Portable CD Player: Electronics sounds to my ears a bit better than If I would play FLAC's out of my computer with Move's amp and DAC. Do your Move sound better with line-out of portable mp3 player than out of...

Quote: I'm saying Portable CDP must be worser than HDD\Flash based player because reading cds on the go is not a good thing. I assume you mean SQ as in the previous post and why is that? Quote: Also, PCDP's are not good because disc inserting system is awkward(on all of them)...

I made a happy discovery today when I found that a portable CD player that my mom uses has a easy access line-out (with mini-mini cable). Most mp3 players seem to have compulsory Dock access. Does that reduce SQ? Amazon.com: Sony DEJ615 Portable CD Player: Electronics I have meizu M6 and...

I like E4's more straight out of my Meizu M6 headphone out than out of my laptop + Move (with/without the attentuator). I find the bass overpowered with Move. Maybe that's because I have used to PK1's (grado SR60's sound muddy too). How many ppl think that amplifying E4's make them sound better?

Could this be used to replace impedance adapter? http://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/P...vel_attenuator edit: I tried with Move and E4's but it's hard to hear any significant difference if any difference at all.

I have wondered this matter too. Would cable like this improve sound of shure E4's or PK1's when driven by amp? I'm sure some have these cables and lot of toys to test them with so tell us a tale

There seems to be almost none reasonable options for HDD players with line-out which play flac out of the box (+ 10 band EQ which should be in every player by now). How has it come to this? Have all just accepted to convert all of their music collections to alac and bound their souls to...

Has there been any comparisons of sound signatures of PK1 and ER4(s/p)? Unfair comparison or not I would like to hear opinions on this case. I have shure E4's and I'm kinda disappointed to their sound after I got PK1's so much cheaper (139$). Yeh E4 is IEM but still the price/sq difference is so...

My previous posts about left driver producing humming crackling noise has been solved. I blew air from the backside of the earphone few times and the problem seems to be eliminated. I did this from the frontside before but it didn't have any effect so I figured it isn't any trash. It seems I was...

"What is your player? I had smiliar problem when using foobar2000, and fixed the problem by disabling all DSPs." I have tried with meizu m6, MediaMonkey, windows media player, all the same problem. DSPs are not the origin of the problem here. "As for the crackling, I have no idea, though...

I made new thread about this but it didn't get any attension, so maybe better luck here: I have had PK1's for about ½ year, bought from head-direct. Lately I have noticited very annoying humming crackle (proper english?) on particular places of certain songs. Most detectable it's in The Last...
