I cannot stress what a difference amping does in this little headphone - much as the same differences of the ES7 amped versus unamped. (amping really tightens and adds treble. I personally like the Pico combo best (others like the Predator). Try them with a better source and better files or a CD and see of it isn't the output issue (degradation of quality).

Alright, i'll see if i can find a pink noise generator for a mac and give that a shot. Thanks!

There is also an iPhone app that does tone generation called Ambience. It's only a dollar, but then you have the convenience of having it directly on your iPhone.

I know I have kept a few of you guys waiting on the new FreQ cable design.

This is the first FreQ cable I made:

These are the current cables:
NOW WITH GOLD PINS!

This is what the other black cable looks like on my setup.
The white Teflon is more stiff than the black - don't know why - but whatever. I have currently: The original 22awg cryo OFHC copper cable with silver pins and extension cable, 1M black highly stranded 65%silver-34% copper cable with gold pins and gold Neutrik plugs, 1.5M (the one I am using) Black (same as above), and 1.5M White (same as above).

I was pushed into a concrete wall by a person running at the entrance to the train station, so the original cable had a small ding which has been repaired. If someone wants that cable with the extension I will send it at parts cost. I am only 100% sure that these cables work with FreQ, but should be compatible with whatever the FreQ cable fits (Westone?).

Yeah, managed to find gold plated wire to make the pins from - YAY!

Wow, those look amazing! I really should learn how to do cables... You should make a step by step tutorial! (just kidding, but seriously)

How much did the parts alone cost you? Including shipping and what not?

 

[theheadphoneman2]

Lol, it looks like a jump rope. Nice though.

 

[younglee200]

that first wire is really sexy not gonna lie

 

[chiefroastbeef]

You should buy it then! I wish I had the money...

Here are my Freqs in the backyard:

I just finished building it, I had to wire the Freqs from the 2nd floor balcony, down the stairs, and through the backyard door.

...now I'm going to have to go buy some Legos to play with.

those were always my favorite.

 

[chiefroastbeef]

You should! The designs are getting better and better, year by year.

I don't know about you, but the chicken leg on the grill is making me hungry.

Cartoon/Lego food always looks the best.

Lego needs to make a Qdoba burrito piece. I'd be all over that!

...back on topic. Freqs are out for delivery...now I have to wait all day at work before I can run home to get them. Silly real world responsibilities.

 

[chiefroastbeef]

I wish the best of luck to ya! I really hope they fit you. Be sure to post a picture when you get them.

I can go for a Lego Chalupa right about now.

 

[screamb]

I'll get pictures up as soon as I can tonight, although I don't have any architecturally sophisticated Legos to showcase them with.

Maybe I can find something around the house.

Really interested in seeing how the translucent colors came out!

Just received the FreqShows and am currently jamming with them. I think the fit is perfect. Not tight feeling, but snug. I don't have to force them in my ear and they are easy to take out.

I tried the seal test found here
http://www.sensaphonics.com/test/index.html

I can hear the deep bass and the higher pitch sound. I'm not sure what a good seal feels like with customs, but the bass is perfect. It's both thumpin and deep.

Here are some pictures. I tried to have a light translucent inner ear and a dark translucent outer ear, both in black color. Can't really tell a difference, but I don't mind. I think they look great!

This is kinda out of topic, but who's noticed that in the FreQ website, when you click the About Us at top, they are SHARING a custom earphone??
