In-ear phones

laxx

Having lots of fun with my im716's. Been using them for the past 7-8 months or so, the longest I've kept any portable phone. They stomp the E500's all day everyday.

Hi,

For those who can't bear in-ear buds and/or want simple earphones with great sound...
I've tried akg k314p and found they sound great.

Only using the eq (no bass and trebble and no 3d effects).

What should be done to have them really sound great :
1 - use them several days when brand new (the sound gets better and better)
2 - set the equalizer to this : +4 0 -2 -1 0 -1 -7 -1 0 -1
the "-7" on 5khz is probably a bit personal, because I got an over-sensitivity in about that range, so just set that specific range to what seems to match better your own perception.

cheers

I purchased the V-Moda Vibe in-ear phones about a month ago ($59 w/ coupon @ Costco) and they are great. This is my first pair of premium headphones so I don't have much to compare them to, but I'm very pleased with their performance. I'd read many reviews that indicated that they may be bass heavy and while they certainly can hit the low notes, I've found that just adjusting the bass on my M6 was enough to bring them inline.

Very pleased in deed.

Keep your eyes on amazon for cheap deals on Altec Lansing im716's. If you can pick a set up of these up for $50 do it. Remove the volume pod, solder in a resistor to each of the live leads and solder the grounds together- hey presto and you near enough have a set of Etymotic er4's (47 or 68 ohm is a good resistance)
