I've got a 3 yrs old Lenovo G530 laptop, Windows Vista. Sound is ugly and noisy, especially with IEMs, which are more sensitive.
I had been using several a couple of DACs before, but since I got rid of FiiO E7 and sent FiiO E10 back to the seller due to the socket issue, I had no DACs left for some time. Normally I would use large overhead headphones for gaming and movies, but a couple of times I've used my Sleek Audio SA6's, which I have for more than two years already.
Once while listening to some music with SA6's the sound in the left earphone faded out. You could still hear something, but very quietly comparing to the right earphone.
Sleek Audio refused to repair/replace the faulty earphone due to expired warranty. I bought Etymotics HF2. A couple of months of listening from MP3 players and phone - no problem, but yesterday plugged into the laptop to watch a movie.
Guess what? The sound in the left earphone faded out! Just like on SA6's. What if that's not a coincidence and my Lenovo G530 laptop damaged both IEMs, one of which were recently purchased?
Had anyone else heard of something crazy like this?
BTW: If you have a spare SA6 earphone to sell/donate, get in touch.
