Ok, so i went to Jaben network today to test the UM1 and ER-6i. I agree the UM1 do sound better than the ER-6i but... well... personally i think the sound is so muffled and hollow. I thought it might just be the ear pieces so i bought them along with a pair of etymotic triflange tips. When i got home and tested them with the etymotic tips, however, they still sounded the same. Even when modded to dualflange, it still sounded the same. Apart from the eargasmic vocals, i think my HJE70s totally own them in all other factors... Now i know, logically, this is probly impossible so i want to know what other ppl do to them to make them sound not muffled. Is it the ear pieces or what? I just feel something is greatly lacking in the UM1s, not that it wasn't in the ER-6i, but my music just sounds so hollow and well, i guess the best word to describe it is muffled, perhaps they need burn in? I know with all the praises the UM1s get, this can't be the true sound.

some months ago when i went over to squalle's place to try his UM2, they sounded that way to me.

just sounded wrong, and i don't think it was the fit, because i put it on 3 times (due to a few unfortunate phone calls), and they sounded the same.

when i went down to stereo to try, they STILL sounded wrong to me, even with all the different tips i tried.

(my little brother likes the UM2 though. unfortunately he's only primary 6 and cannot begin to afford such an expensive hobby)

in the end, i took the leap and got a pair of ety er4, and what i can say is that, i have no complaints and no regrets

SOOO.., the favourite phones around might not be to your liking, and please try to audition expensive phones before you buy them, esp. if you cannot return them.

edit: and recently i've noticed several members on the forums who like to pressure other members into buying phones, i hope this practice doesnt continue

high end equipment cost a pretty penny, and the purchase decision should be considered carefully, don't rush into them and regret

if i could get that much for my pint i wouldn't mind selling it

just use Max

umm actually the 5th gen uses a portalplayer too

ehhhhhhh....... why should they look any different?

i'm thinking of getting 2 for my diy`ed sohas lol

qsilver do you still have unassembled docks ? or you've added the jacks to all 20 already?

most creative freq response graph ever!

how much you expecting for the mj board ?

if i were you i'd really be more worried about frying the card than frying the speakers

'cause as squalle mentioned, dc offset can be tested for with a multimeter

don't fry your card. good luck

i'm fine with echoloft, not with hwz.

but of course if sgheadphones could remain standalone, it'd be best

hwz's amount of advertisement sucks. i'll never agree to handing sgheadphones over to hwz.

but then again, who am i to comment? i'm just another forumer like everyone else.

IF a change of web host is required, I think I'll be able to help.

I know of someone who's in the industry, maybe he'd be willing to to offer cheaper prices.

i think this thread should be moved out of classifieds

edit: nevermind, some other posts further on say that they might not be the same.

i have a pair of md33s though, and i dont mind bringing them along for comparison if it fits into my (rather packed) timetable

ooo.. beyer wiring style.

the cable looks kind of short though

@Zephyron: where can UE SuperFi Bi-flange sleeves be found? wanna try them on my md-33s too

i still havent done the revision yet. school started and pretty busy. maybe next week , hols next week.

anyway , @kippei: http://headwize.com/ubb/showpage.php?fnum=3&tid=6171

i think paralleling caps or putting caps in the signal path is a much greater evil than having dual conductors.

its still shielded , as the shield is tied to ground.

just that the RF noise might "pollute" the ground further down the chain as some people claim

Whats a balanced mini to mini cable?
