My first post ever...
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a IEM for my iphone. I have listened to cx500 and liked it very muchly, but dranoel4190's post here led me to start this thread.
I really want to consider MM50ip to have only one set of earphones for both listening to music and talking, and I'm seeking cx500's quality.
Can anybody enlighten me on how the MM50 compares to its mic-less siblings? Now I've heard cx500, I can't go back on sound quality, so I want to consider MM50 if the bass handling and mid and high balance is as good as the cx500.
On the other hand, if it's not as good, I'll stick with cx500 and a regular extra Bluetooth headset. But that's not really what I want (carrying two earphones all the time?)
If it's of any help, I gathered specs of the three here:
[size=xx-small]
MM50ip:
# Headphones Frequency response: 18 – 22,000
# Hz Impedance: 16 Ω
# Sound pressure level: 106 dB
# Microphone Frequency response: 80 – 15,000 Hz
# Pick up pattern: Omni-directional
# Sensitivity: -44 dBv/Pa
CX400:
Frequency response 17 - 21000 Hz
Cable length Symmetric (earphone -> separator: 300 mm; separator -> plug: 300 mm). 1 m extension cable.
Impedance 16 Ohm
THD, total harmonic distortion < 0.2 %
Sound pressure level (SPL) 113 dB
CX500:
Impedance 16 Ohms
Frequency range 17-22000Hz
Total harmonics distortions (THD) 0.2 %
Sound pressure level (SPL) 113 dB SPL
[/size]
I don't know if these specs should tell me something, It's (a better than cx300) balance that I'm after.
Please help me out,
