Btw, I'm a fan of this earphone.
Just received my V2 today. Been playing for 1 hour now. I definitely like V2 more than V1.
What i like most about the changing is the highs. Now is smoother. Less sparkling compared to V1. Not by much..but noticeable in the upper highs. This is exactly what I've been waiting for.
The mids is not much different as well. But now is thicker and a bit more forward (from cream soda to cappucino). It is not as creamy as SM3V2, though i prefer the mids in SM64V2, is more neutral and exciting to listen to. human voice is now better to my ears. Very good for jazz and vocal.
The bass is not as deep as V2. The quantity and quality is about the same. I feel like V1 can go deeper. Though, i feel like V2's bass is tighter and maybe just a bit faster too. I am good with that.
They do still share the same sound signature. Same tonal base. Different is just slightly. For me, overall sound V2 is just a bit smoother, and thicker sounding which i like. For sound staging and imaging..they just about the same. Nothing to be worried of.
Back to music
--- Pico Power + SM64V2 is a very good match btw
That's great. do you have v1 or v2?
Technically speaking, the SM64 shouldn't need an amp. If something 'sounds' better via the SM64 and an amp via an iPod for example, either it is just the amp's sound you like, or, in the case of a truly neutral amp, volume hasn't been matched.
The gotcha to my reply is this: I've not yet tested extreme dynamic range found in classical music. If after testing I discover digital sizzle in any spot, there may be argument for an amp.
However, the SM64 was made in such a way that at normal listening levels, an amp simply isn't necessary. On the stage, at dangerous monitoring levels, it may be different.
Do the sm64 has better 3d soundstage than heir 4ai or 5 ?
