You should have tried the ER-4P instead. The 4S is not designed to be driven by a portable device. The 4S has a resistance of 100ohm so you will have to use a headphone amp to make these babies sing. The 4P are 27ohms and are a lot easier to drive. I use the 4P with my iPod w/o an amp and I'm very happy with it. The EX70 aren't bad but they are not the right phones if you want accurate sound reproduction. I know a lot of people who love the EX70 because they pack quite a punch when it comes to bass but usually these are the folks that use MegaBass circuitries and such to 'enhance' the bass response. If you are into artificially 'enhancing' the bass response then more power to you but I for one try to listen to the music the way the artist intended. To each it's own I guess. -Marc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
