Audible hum using iems

May 20, 2022 at 4:38 PM Post #31 of 36
The Blon is higher impedance and lower sensitivity so it will be less reactive , a hum in both channels like that is much more "normal" and I think the computer power supply is the culprit
Cables have a tendency to behave like antennas but it is hard to predict and they are rarely shielded
Best of luck anyway , I had a car once with a noise problem I sold it
That's one way to get rid of the problem :P.

Well the cable doesn't even fit on the ie 300. I know ie 300's mmcx connector is recessed but I bought one from sennheiser that said ie 400/500 pro and someone in the review said that it works on the whole ie series and on google I also read that it fits, oh well. But if sensitivity is the problem, would something like the ifi iematch help?

Yes I think the iematch would help in fact ifi have a few devices that might help , one of their usb cleaners might help although I don't know why the noise is getting through via usb theoretically it shouldn't . Start with the iematch though it might clear things up
Cables are a mine field

Alright I'm gonna buy it.
