Smoking Buds

Gotcha.

I use Sony professional headphones with my iPod, and I don't believe I'm missing any bass, which leads me to believe the iPod has plenty of juice.

I'm not familiar with your iPod. Does it have different settings for sound profiles? Mine does. You might check to be certain you don't have it on a setting that emphasizes treble or midrange while reducing bass...

I have the Nano. The "Smoking Buds" I use have nice bass. Better than the Shures, although they (the Buds) lack in the mids and treble compared with the Shure. I'll check to see if there is a sound profile setting or the like. I'll let you know, but it's EST, and I'm hitting the sack.

Warrenh, you can adjust the iPod Nano's equalizer from the Settings menu. Check it out. You may find more bass in one of those settings.

did you think I could wait 'til tomorrow? Much, much better. Bass, treble, the whole nine. thanks Grant..'night

BTW,(Thursday 'morn) The Shures still don't cut it for me. IMHO: $$ and sound: not worth it. When I return them I'll see if they have traditional head phones..

wireless headphones: anybody out there have them? conceptually they are a great idea. Do they cut it sound-wise?
