re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread

Yep, I tried them once when my friend was using it with his iPhone and they sounded very good. Felt like they sounded better than my SHE 9501, again very very balanced over all frequencies, which I noticed with Philips earplugs. Don't remember the price he bought for. But here is a link from Apple store.

can u please review the SHE 9501..
it would really help me in making my decision..


also how does the size of the driver make a difference??
so does 10mm driver mean better sound quality??

also how is the Sound isolation of the SHE9501 compared to the EP 630 or the SHE 9551??

i also found out dat the SHE 9551 are semi open type earphones..
is dis good or bad??


im scared abt buying Philips IEMs bcz they are panned on websites like head-fi.org..

there people are saying that the Creative EP 630 is way better than the Philips SHE 9501..

here is the link..
*www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/philips-she9500-she9501-ear-headphone-164048/

here is a review of the SHE 9551..
*www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/30-iem...fi-170-sennheiser-cx-300-ii-precision-456494/

the reviewer says the bass is overwhelming..
does this mean that all the other frequencies aren't balanced..??

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

i was also thinking of buying a headphone amp..
how is the Fiio E5??

its been getting some good reviews..

are there any other better headphone amps available??


also..
i am going to use the headphone amp with my soon to come IEM's and my Sennheiser HD 485..

re: Official iPhone/iPod Touch owners thread

^^ i own a she9500
got it as an offer with nokia 5230 for 450 bucks extra

sound quality was way too better as i have never used a good earphone before i got this one

sound isolation is also good.
couldnt even hear a express train whizzing at top speed on the next track while travelling in local trains


i googled a lot about comparison between she9500 ep-630 and pl-11 as these are the earphones in the range of <800 bucks range

anyone who tried all of these pl could u share ur experience

Been Busy with my exams and sorry for the late rep @Sachit

Have you bought any earplugs in the meantime??

Regarding the driver size, Sound Quality doesn't depend on driver size completely,it depends on the type of driver & the design of the shell around it matters a lot and hence 9551 may sound good in my opinion.

Regarding your other Query, Got this from headfi.org
Closed headphones will keep you from hearing outside sounds and also keep people around you from hearing your headphones,referred to as "leaking."

It might sound like closed is best, but you have to remember that a driver produces sound from both sides, not just the one pointing at your ear. A sealed cup will have reflections, resonances and other shortcomings. Some closed headphones deal with those issues very well, but you're always going to have to compromise somewhere if you're going to be closed.

On the other hand, open headphones don't have these problems. Back waves just go out to the side - they don't reflect or cause problems. Because of that, you can get much better fidelity from an open headphone.
I haven't used semi-open types, But I find the difference in sound stage from my Open earplugs( SHE-9501) Headphones (SHP-2700) and another closed one from Sony. So may be semi-open's are best of both worlds :p

My take on SHE-9501 is :doublethumb:. I've used EP-630 and Sony MDR EX-35 before, ep-630 sounds crappy to me(not fake one, got the original from itdepot) and EX35( a good pair though) is more bass friendly and it looses out on other frequencies when compared to SHE-9501, the sound-stage,balanced sound and balanced bass is what I like about 9501, and it matches my iPod's earphones too in White :))

Regarding the bad reviews from that link, it is clear that they didn't complete the burn in period and most of them even started bashing it from first usage. The problem with these earplugs, as a matter of fact any headphones is that they need to complete the burn-in period to perform to their full-potential which would take some 100-200 hrs and some even take more. Once the burn-in is over, you can enjoy the Full potential of these plugs ;)

Even in my case I was skeptical on the first day that I bought another Crappy pair(9501). But the SQ kept getting better and better by day and now they sound sweeeeet. Even when I bought SHP-2700 Hi-fi headphones
they sounded crappier than my Rs.100 heaphones :p. I was frustrated and thought of throwing them away, But some burn-in advice from @desiibond saved me and my headphones :)) , again the same they kept getting better and better by day. So don't worry about that bad reviews.

Sachit, forget about other options from the time being, it adds to the confusion,You can always buy a better one next time. just go for 9501 or 9551 dude :)

OT@Sachit

BTW regarding the I5700 vs I7500 thread, I bought I5700 a few days back @12K, still learning and getting over some android 1.5 Niggles , I'll post a review once I use it for a week or two. Definitely a better upgrade from 5800 :)

@V.Na5h
Congrats bro for 9500 and Nokia 5230. But the retail one's sound better than OEM's.
sound isolation is also good.
couldnt even hear a express train whizzing at top speed on the next track while travelling in local trains
This is scary dude, be very very carefull while using any noise isolation/Cancellation earplugs in Outdoors/traffic. What if you were crossing the track and didn't hear that express train :huh?:. Sounds scary right!!!!! Please use them carefully outdoors.
4 days and no post...:shock:

damn..
never seen this thread so dead..
I've been seeing this from a long time ;) once it was inactive for so many days that I thought it is all over with this thread :))

I guess goobimama was trying to inject this thread with some (unappreciated) humor and sachitgul is retaliating in his own way.

SECOND INNINGS:

Due to simple laziness,I just pressed the "erase all" button......OMG......my iphone 'froze'.....apple logooooooooooo....for hours together.

I had no option but to Restore to orginal iTunes----Alas! this 3.1.3 came and sat and my iphone is 'dead' like thing....'LOCKED'.

Only if some 3.1.3 JB/UL comes my phone will become 'ALIVE'!

[Later came to know this 'Erase all' function may take approximately 36 to 40 Days to complete!!!!!!]


Now,I got only choice of getting a 'new' one!

Got my 2nd innings,happy atleast this time with Legal,orginal iphone with WARRANTY!

Packing looked more slimmer & sexy,iphone is Bright white this time,damn new with March 2010 as Manufacturing date,

*i483.photobucket.com/albums/rr199/dhan_shh/2ndinns.jpg

Preloaded with 3.1.3 and battery looks promising!

Luckily transferred all contents thro' iTunes (took more than 7hours) including settings.

(Moral: Never ever press "Erase all" button,atleast in JB/UL ones!)

Congrats on your new purchase :)

So you are facing those long backup times too I guess. I had the same problem after fiddling with some jb apps.
Did the same complete erase and my backup times are back to just under 2 mins :))
BTW It took just under an hour to erase all the content on my 32GB iPod which was filled to the brim with apps and music. Why was yours so long??




OT: Seriously What do you do for a living man :C_moneymouth:
That is one hell of a collection you have. What do you do with the other phones?? Do you carry them all along :p
