Hey guys, im new to this forum. Been reading a fair bit, and thought id join up! but anyways, back to the point of the thread.

I bought an Ipod Nano 8GB 4G yesterday, and i cannot say i am too impressed. I've read a number of threads on here and people have been praising it quite a lot, but i just hear a lot of clipping, especially on bass heavy tracks.

I am using a pair of Shure e2c's; They're not the best headphones in the world, but their not bad, they were doing great on my Zune, which sounded fine. However, as soon as i bought my Ipod and plugged them in and played some pendulum i just heard loads of bass distortion. I tried on the default equaliser setting, and its not too bad, the distortion is fairly minimal (it could just be my mind thinking it up), but as soon as i change the EQ to anything else which in any way slightly increases the bass the sound becomes intolerable. Its not just bass heavy songs, its most of them, rock, dance, pop, everything.

Could i have a default unit or something? anyone else had similar distortion problems?

the ipod does not have an eq that you should use unless you aacgain the files so that their gain is 12db or so lower than normal. otherwise, you will get a zero gain plus plus spikes and many many places for the song to clip.

hi everyone.

i use ipod nano 2g, i got some problem, after bought.
probably it`s not problem, if u need information search in google "ipod sound distortion". I use mp3gain for sound normalization, everything is ok, i have very deep bass in my ipod nano.
