QUOTE(feiraron @ Feb 13 2010, 11:02 AM) didnt find it boomy...probably source.. or choice of songs.. or............... imma basshead? but i dont like bl0ated bass.... hmm... tried kitaro - caravansary - 320kbps.. bass, mids, trebles and drums are just spot on.. ghost in the shell - making of a cyborg - Flac.. lots of drums.. but still sounded like i think it should.. not too much, not lacking either maybe cranking volume would be a different story tho... still using lowest vol.. after proper burn in baru stat blasting.. |

QUOTE(soulone @ Feb 13 2010, 11:40 AM) not sure how to reply that..if people are saying that it is too boomy.. then i disagree.. packs punch.. yes. quality? yes. bloated.. no. muffles other frequency and sounds.. no. i can say it bumps up the mid lows.. bass guitar, violins, organs.. something i like i have to say lady gaga - just dance.. (or watever it's name is..) would suck big time.. as everything will be sooo boomy.. same as my own sp1 but then again.. i favour clarity songs.. so.. eterna works like charm here.. fy reference some stuff i listen to: may'n - iteza gogo kyuji, (macross frontier) noto mamiko - ichinuke, (jigoku shoujo), ashita no te (witchblade) tokyo jihen - shuraba, (er.. jpop.. probably acid jazz/pop genre) ali project - akai usagi, (blade of the immortal) kitaro & los angeles symphonic - mirai e no sanka, kalafina - oblivious. (kara no kyoukai) kitaro - caravansary (everyone knows this song) geinoh yamashirogumi - kaneda, tetsuo, (akira) theatre of tragedy (gothic metal i think..) .. come to think of it.. i havent listened to mainstream songs for quite some time.. to me they lack melody... |

have to add a bit..
as feiraron mentioned.. the lows and the low mids are boomy.. so i compared it to original sp1.. and the lows and mids sounded too shallow for my liking.. the eterna is similar to my modded sp1 tho.. and yes.. the bump on the low frequency range maybe a bit too much for some.. as for muffling the details.. im not really sure, coz my ears r kinda sensitive to trebles n high freq sound.. they tend to hurt.. so, on eterna it's just right for me. imagine listening to sounds in auditorium.. or.. underwater kinda atmosphere.. low frequency sounds tend to echo.. eterna has that. |

QUOTE(terradrive @ Feb 14 2010, 04:55 AM) Depends on how loud you guys are listening to the music. I never find that eterna sounded boomy to me, maybe it's because I listen in not-to-high volumes. This is explained in the equal loudness contour, where the frequencies lower than 1000Hz needs to be bumped more on sound pressure level to have equal loudness in phon. never sounded nice is good alrdy.. Eterna never sounded that nice out of the box. It sounded awesome after fully burned in though. |

QUOTE(jycheang @ Mar 12 2010, 02:56 AM) eterna is a pair aggressive IEM not to me it isnt..bass impact really shake your ear drum hard. I feel pain after few hrs in quantity soundstage quite good but i like IE8 better but i had to eq it a bit to tone down some of the bass(if im listening to normal volume, not necessary at low volume), and correct the highs.. |

QUOTE(weib @ Mar 15 2010, 12:43 AM) not really sure about that.. i hear minor hissing just plugging eterna into W1.. it's a sensitive iem.. :|it does open up with the w1 though.. but i simply dont like the idea that i have to be listening at higher (more than 30%) volume just so that the hissing is not heard to my ears... |

QUOTE(terradrive @ Mar 15 2010, 03:01 AM) agreed.. so i only use low volume on it.QUOTE(weib @ Mar 15 2010, 01:27 AM) Not many amps are designed to take IEMs. i do find it m04r musical when plugged to a usb soundcard compared to using portable tho.. i guess ur right about this..If you design for IEMs, the headphone crowd will not buy - not enough power to drive some bigger headphones. So have to compromise inbtwn, but i don't know abt you.. FA products in general quite hard to drive. Listen at low volume it loses its dynamics and shine. so.. i'd say source is very important.. |

QUOTE(weib @ Mar 16 2010, 10:41 AM) depends on genres. hows the vocal of the silver bullet compared with eterna?People who like vocals and classical, will like silverbullet. Bassheads - rock/hip hop etc will like eterna. Each has its strong points but they're very niche in their strengths, you can't make it a general purpose phone. Though both a very musical and fun. If you want something that takes the mold of your source and amp which you pair with your music, then RE0. But you need a good amp to bring out the bass. i find eterna's vocal slightly off.. i think.. |

QUOTE(weib @ Mar 16 2010, 10:53 PM) I've noticed that people who play hifi or are into high end setups, they'll prefer silver bullet for the soundstage is very wide and you catch more details plus the sound is more "balance" sound. from the age rating.. damn i AM pretending to be young~.. ahaha...These people are 25 and above..mainly listen to jazz, vocals and classical. Those who don't, would rather the more fun sounding eterna These people are 18-20+, mainly listen to pop and rock and hip hop/RnB. I guess with age as you grow older, you'd tend to seek out details and "accuracy" of timbre rather than just boom boom bass. But I'm kinda like a hybrid, I like to listen to all genres, so I pick IEMs to my mood. Jazz/Vocals - Silverbullet Hiphop/pop - Eterna Serious audition - RE0 and i consider eterna's bass to be just slightly boomy, and eq'able to be very warm and full, just the way i like it. but would love to try the silver bullet sometime.. any lowyatians using this? |

QUOTE(weib @ Mar 17 2010, 09:07 AM) PL50 is a crappy iem imho. if u dont need it.. then better not..everyone who auditioned them after hearing the Eterna and silver bullet, gave me a dirty look. I'd prefer the pl30 anytime. I would be inclined to agree, but I've never used EQ - not that i can remember I don't see a reason to start using it now. For me, i'd just play around with tips to find the sound i'm looking for. eq is just an option tho.. and i still prefer not to eq, coz unless proper parametric.. things just wont sound so natural after eq'ing... |

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Mar 21 2010, 12:00 AM) Hmm... Thanks for the info! expect lots of bass.. nice quality ones tho... but need some burnin to tighten the sound.. initially a bit too b00my..Actually i'm already planning to get an Eterna, just that i used to own a PL50, so wanna use that as a benchmark on what i should expect and also very smooth sounding... also warm sounding, a bit dark as well. |

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Mar 21 2010, 01:30 AM) Nevermind, anything i don't like, can just tweak it off with RockBox's awesome EQ it's huge.. at first i do have some problems fitting it.. but i figured out and got perfect fit everytime comfortably.. but as for lying on side.. im not really sure if that's possible..the transition from a bass-shy PL50 to a bass-ful Eterna might take some time btw, so can i lie down sideways on my bed without the music being interrupted? Thats prolly my favourite thing about the PL-50s, super low profile drivers |
