Tradeoff is more leaked in noise.

After reading several great reviews, I just got mine for iPod/iPhone use. I love the sound, but when my cords abrade my shirt, or get jostled a lot when walking, I can hear the reverb/interference noise (for lack of a better term) thru the earbuds. This never happens when using my Apple earbuds. Is this an occurrence others have dealt with? Maybe the Monoprice insulation is not as noiseproof as Apple $35 earbuds? Thanks again. reginaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016496241254033252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984778625978437479.post-62177835966049728532013-03-16T02:28:18.054-07:002013-03-16T02:28:18.054-07:00Thanks.

Of course, all you need is a pspice to fiddle with LOL I'd like to defer such use of electrical Z modification as a last resort, as there's a high chance for the audiophilic snake oil to get involved..

Good work. I think we should try to identify all of the cheap ones that are worthy of modification.<br /><br />Acoustic dampers on the 9927, as expected, blunt the peaks and smooth the response in the treble. Put in enough damping and the short bandwidth will be more obvious. In your articles on BA IEMs, you've used series resistance to alter the electrical response. Obviously that won't work here. We want to know if you're opposed to using a capacitor as well. Say, R = 68 ohms and C = 0.33 uF for an initial guess. That will shelve the treble up and might work well with acoustic damping. It's not that much more complex than a resistor in series, and doesn't add much to the material cost.<br /><br />-yvAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984778625978437479.post-46385280842098938752013-02-24T17:33:25.612-08:002013-02-24T17:33:25.612-08:00As long as the link is not shown on the product de...As long as the link is not shown on the product description of your website.
