Earsonics SM64: The Impressions Thread
Mar 10, 2013 at 10:09 AM Post #152 of 1,656
I see ...  In that case, I probably have the V1. The treble is just right for me, not sure if I want to mod it to reduce brightness, its already warm enough. I actually wish there is more  treble similar to ie800 or the TH900 just a slight lift in the mid treble. Is there anymore difference between the 2 versions beside treble diff.. What about the bass, soundstage PRAT etc.. 

Also anyone know if there is a V2 version currently selling. I actually like to AB and report back here. 

I saw one in amazon, do u guys think its the v2?



These are the changes that come with the v2 as stated by Earsonics.
Let me know what you think when you get to A/B them.

Details:
-As a result, we obtain a better control of the spectral balance (medium "sauce Earsonics" upper midrange and deleting any sibilance on some players high listening levels) with better support in the lower spectrum used in low power drives ...
-Lowering the overall impedance of 95 ohms headphones for better "driving" with low level players such iPod, J3, etc..
With this modification, the SM64 can perfectly go amp to operate ... Use an amp certainly improve the listening experience (as with our EM4 and EM6) but it is not mandatory.

With tuning the highs and obtained less sibilant..is that gonna be affecting the lows and the mid?


The lows are the same but the mids are more forward. Not THAT much but noticeable.
