I got Sharp MD33's today, and besides really loving the sound, to my suprise I also discovered they're stereo with out the extension cable.... Are my Sharp MD33's a freaky exception, or am I misunderstanding this whole 4pole, 3 pole thing?

What's your source? Is it a Sharp too? That could explain it. I only get the left channel from my Sony MD when not using the extension.

The extra pole is another ground, which they say makes for better sound. Maybe the prongs inside your plug/socket have luckily touched in the right places?

 

[Mintieman]

Nope, source is an iPod. Checked again on "Taxman" by the Beatles, which has both channels very seperate, I can hear them both

you lucky one.

It matters on which source it is, or jack rather. I had to do the three pole mod since they wouldn't work with my slimx remote, but it would work with an amp (switchcraft jack). My hack job ended up looking hideous and the plug is a little crooked.

I got them from bluetin

Is this a 3rd Gen iPod (with the touch wheel and 4 buttons under the screen), Mintieman? I haven't tried it yet, but if it works it'll save me some hassles.

Has someone already tried this 4pole with the iAudio G3 or other iAudio players? I really like to know if you'll get stereo sound with the 4 pole

The MD33 will work directly into my 3G iPod if I push slightly in one direction on the connector, so it's quite probably his jack is just different enough to make it work.

I have MD33's and even if i push on the connector, it still won't sound out of both channels on my 3rd gen ipod

Maybe yours is odd and you just lucked out!

I got the MD33s from AudioCubes and they work fine in stereo with my 4G iPod without the extension. Unfortunately, this is kind of worthless because without the extension, the cord is not long enough to reach from my ears to my pocket. I don't know why they didn't just make the cord a normal length and make the adapter a few inches long. Guess that would be too easy.
