Quick question (Bass)

(1/5) > >>

Jamalarm:
I recently bought a 60gb iPod with the intention of Rockboxing it immediately (My H340 finally died) but i have encountered a problem.

The bass seems to be absurdly weak, compared to the iRiver. Is this just be having the settings wrong (I have the bass setting up full, software EQ on - bass high, hardware EQ on - bass high).

I am yet to actually play anything in the stock firmware, so i don't know whether this is just a dodgy rockbox setting thing, or just terrible hardware.

I'd rather it was the first, to be honest.

Any ideas?

AlexP:
I haven't got an iPod, but I would have thought the obvious thing would be to try it in the OF - annoying I know give itunes etc, but it is the only way to tell for sure.  That being said, I can't recall any other mention of this, so it may well be iPod vs H3x0 difference.

Ararat:
Have you tried to set the software EQ off, and adjust the bass levels manually?
Also, the bass depends a lot in which earphone you are using...

soap:
iPod hardware has horrible bass response on sub 32 ohm loads.  What is the impedance of your headphones?

Jamalarm:
According to the faithful internets, 32 ohms. They're AKG K81DJs.

Does this mean that i'm never going to get lovely purring/punchy bass?

If so, does anyone want to buy a day-old 60gig video ipod?
