What are you guys doing with your EQ settings? I leave mine off for the most part.

I've tried pro and custom settings. What I found is that I could not get the custom settings to my satisfaction.
For Pro, when I would put it on, the volume would actually drop and the sound seemed muted......I just leave it off.

Interesting question. At first I was using pro to "smooth" things out. Then I did custom, one to tame the highs, another to boost the bottom. Since switching to Silver Liz Balanced from Ted, and....here may be the key....burning in, all is off. No eq as the sound has gotten smoother and more refined, regardless of format.

Enjoying Boney M now. Never sounded better (though to be honest, the last time I heard Boney M was in 1999 in Sweden through a Sony MD-R37 Minidisk player) and stock earbuds.

Anyway, the AK240 and Ultrasone IQ better that combo.

I was one of the rare ones who like Ulteasone a iQ. Glad to hear you too. However I don't really like the IQ + AK240 combo . somehow there is a lack of clarity.

It is a bit 'too' silky at times. But I really like the sound of the IQ. There are some issues with isolation, but not too bad. I love this earphone. Hate its cables. It is well-loved in Japan. I think it has to do with sound preference and cultural drags across genre boundaries.

My 240 and its remote...I can now can sit at my listening position when having the 240 feeding my home system and switching songs.

I like the Ultrasone IQ too, not that I care what other people think but it is frequently the butt of the joke in my circle of head-fiers

I also like the IQ, with triple flange silicon tips, although I prefer my TH900 balanced, if there is not too much outside noise.

Just ordered the AK03 and hope it will be better than IQ.

At the risk of derailing this thread... what is the joke?

One of them :- old men love it, the hearing is so bad they can't hear the sibilance.

Bro, mind sharing where did you get that remote control? shops in HK or via online?
