Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

Is it possible that one IEM of my 7550 is quieter than other? I have a feeling, that one has much more impact and 'ear rumble' than the other one. They are practically new, so I don't think that ear wax buildup caused it. Any idea how can I test it? I hope it's only my imagination. :D


Just my 2 cents, but I had a vacuum issue due to a difference in fit from one ear to the other. I swapped to medium sized JVC spiral dots and haven't had an issue since. For whatever reason, the design of the 7550/EX800 tips downward just right in one of my ears with Sony tips and caused a muffled sound. It was random for me and intermittent.

It has USB host so just the cck is all you need to hook up, not 2 cables


talan, I thought you said SW3 treble was ear-ripping/grating now in SW3 thread 'tame and smooth' ?
Are they really sensitive to source gear upstream ?

Yeah, night and day difference with the sw3 on my main iFi rig. They sound awesome, the treble is much smoother and I could listen for prolonged times without fatigue. The iFi rig is that good.

I also noticed that if I push the right IEM a little forward, sound becomes clearer. Need to buy and test some new tips ASAP.
