Hi all, I got the ESW9 recently, and really like the improved soundstage compared to the livewires. (sadly, the isolation is crap compared to livewires
IEMS still better for commuting)
I use MP3gain to make all my mp3 sound equally loud, and this is true when using the livewires with ipod 6g. However, when using the esw9, some songs would sound much softer than others, to the extent that I have to turn the volume up. Sometimes during the duration of said "softer" song, the volume would seemingly increase, and I have to turn the volume back down because it was too loud.
Does having an amp fix this? I did try the Govibe petite, Martini, Magnum, and the GS Voyager. I noticed some improvement in SQ, but I can't really tell if it's just placebo with my untrained average joe ears.
Thankyou for reading!
Edit: Oh no, I started this thread in the wrong forum.. can a mod move it to "portable amps' section? Thanks!
