just head over to headroom and compile a chart comparing the signal response of the cans and you're done Products - HeadRoom - Right Between Your Ears

tgain to -7.5 @15 Bgain to -4.5 @ 5 does wonders for your sound besides that EQ settings to +2 +1 0 +2 +1 really cleared up the sound for me. strange that sony doesn't put these settings on default

what iems do you own and what characteristics do they have? roll-of? strong treble/bass?, soundstage? etc also if you own multiple iems i'd like to hear what you think about them in comparison to eachother. i'm hoping to ultimately put together a little list of iems with their characteristics...

sennheiser makes great low end iems. cx500 or cx 300 or something like that. owned the cx300, ear wax startes to accumulate behind the grill so you will need to keep your ears clean with this one

wow really good guide, only thing i'm missing is a little comparison between the manufacturers. you know the general sound charactaristics of their iems

my A828 doesn't sound that good without some DAC settings changed with a little bit of EQ

wow my sures actually don't have any response in a bit of the high end:O that explaines alot

wow putting the treble on -7.5 @15 hz really had an huge impact man, it actually seems to clear up the high end and the vocals. i must say i'm still not that happy with the sound:S feels like my onboard laptop sound card genertes a better sound

sois this better than changing these setting true the equaliser?

well i think you would have been better of getting a 15 incher with one of the 9000 series cards. just as fast as this sli setup only alot lighter maybe even faster.

but seriously? you don't see how dumb there marketing is? they know only i sertain kind of people will buy them, and they know those are the people that think there stock iphone buds sound good, therefor finding this a pretty big upgrade.

thats what i'm talking about. its such a simple process, i find it strange that not all headphones/iems come pre equalised out of the box.
