What 'phones are you using with your M6 / SL?

mjrtoo · 10-07-2008

I'm using the Head-Direct RE2 and couldn't be happier. The extensive DSP that this device allows is pretty amazing, allowing you to boost the lows a little bit to compensate for the RE2's slight roll off (without bloating the low-mids I might add).

I you have the same combo, I would be interested in what your EQ and other settings are...I'll post mine if anyone is interested.

Thanks to Meizu for such a great sounding unit with such and advanced DAC. And also thanks to Head-Direct for providing a superior sounding earphone at a very affordable price!

I never though MP3 could sound so good!

I do not have an M6, but I use KOSS Sparkplugs with my Creative Zen and Zune. Their headquarters are in Milwaukee which is pretty close, so I like supporting local businesses. But there earphones are very nice for the price, which is under $15. They come with a lifetime warranty as well. I don't know how they are quality wise, I'm not an audiophile, but they seem pretty decent to me.

i've heard nice things about the re2 and i agree most buds/phones need a little eq to sound thier best. i was using some se310's (till the left channel started buzzing) at more or less a flat setting. my JVC fx66 is bass heavy and a little light at the top end; eq'ed to match. as a reference i recently bought an audio technica ath a700. they're a full sized can, closed and to my tin ears sound flat. even thought they're full sized they are easily driven (70 ohm but around 100db at 1 mv at at 1Kh) for most music i barely get over 25 in volume control. the ath is powered with out any eq or bass boost/trebble and they sound great. i don't walk the streets with them on but do use them at work. full size cans have the advantage of slipping on and off easily, unlike canal phones. also full size cans (i don't know what other factors are involved here) the size of the drivers and the point where the sound radiates from; just outside the ears, to me make classic headphones the ideal. the price point all seem to favor full size when it value and quality. don't misunderstand, iems and buds have a place and strengths!

i'd suggest taking your player and listening to some reference headphones at an "audio salon" you might want to leave your wallet at home.

I don't need any full size cans, I have a nice stereo system at home. I just use the M6 and the RE2's for travel and at work, and am pleasantly surprised on how nice it sounds.

I use Ultimate Ear Superfi.5 Pro's with mine, probally not really known on these forums, but i tend to listen to music with EQ, and any adjustments to bass / treble off.

I used to have the Skullcandy Smokin' buds, but recently I changed to a pair of Alpha Brainwawz.

I'm using a Sennheiser PX100 it sound good for me there is also a $10USd rebate with it and the price isn't to bad, I don't like the skullcandy that came with my M6SL.

Wait Skullcandys (Skullcandies?) don't come with Meizus, Meizus ship with Meizu brand earbuds.
