zonalblitz_audio 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 Just wondering how much volume output are you guys putting your iPod to? This question goes out to IEM users like the Shure+ers, Westone+ers, Ultimate Ear+ers etc.. Another question is about the EQ, i find the iPod (EQ = off) is alittle lacking and so, i set it to Electronic. It gives more vibe, groove and lift in the vocals. So, what is your favourite EQ setting or non at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralli`fto 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 I'm using a UM1 with a 30gb iPod Video. I'm currently setting the volume at midpoint with no EQ at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
palestofwhite 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) A little more than half on my 2G 10gb iPod with my UM1. I hardly use EQ but the only ones i'll use is Rock or Add Treble. Edited June 26, 2006 by palestofwhite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

absolut 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2006 Im using the Shure E5 with a 60gb iPod video, i tend to always set the EQ to accoustic and volume usually at 10-20%. But sometimes if it's really quiet(or if i use tri-flange), i feel that even at the absolute minimum(1-pixel line), its still too loud so i use the shure in-line volume control.

palestofwhite 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2006 Gotta see which iPod you own. Mine comes with a firewire and it's too old for rockbox. However i'll be upgrading in a month's time. I hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use 10-20% for the tri-flange and around 50% for the soft flex(medium). But then again, my hearing is quite sensitive as I sleep in a very quiet enviroment.

I using the soft flex (medium, grey) sleeves. Tri/Bi-flange dont work for me. It goes in way too deep. Feels like my ears kena rape... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zonalblitz_audio 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2006 I can set up to 85% when i'm out in an hotspot with a soft flex. Environmental noises can still pass into your ears by induction, especially in the areas behind your ears. Whereas in an quiet environment, i may set as low as 20 - 30%, depending on how i want to isolate myself from disturbance etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, I used to feel like that but now when i put it in, I can hardly feel a thing. Did you cut the stalk of the tri-flange to make it shorter? Its gotten to a point where i can fall asleep wearing the E5 and playing music. The sound quality from the e5 is even better with tri-flange than the soft flex, the sound is generally deeper and punchier. Anyways, I think i'm gonna take the next step and go for molded sleeves. Should be even better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
