Branding them as pop/jazz/whatever is pretty stupid because you'll get people thinking it'll sound rubbish with any other type of music, and that'll put them off regardless of how much you try to convince them otherwise.

Now, if they'd branded them as something like enhanced bass/enhanced treble/"vocally balanced" or some other fancy spin terms it might make them seem much, much more attractive.]]>Apr 10th 2009 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/I was literally blown away the first time I heard her live...I was like, wow...this doesn't sound like the song at all. It sounds like your song that got run over by a rhino.
autotune doesn't even help, her live voice is...*blech* god-awful!]]>Apr 10th 2009 8:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/

Seriously, I want a speaker/headphone/earphone to have a flat frequency response curve. If the speaker is good, it will sound good. Unless the music has been produced badly.]]>Apr 10th 2009 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/

And those "high tech equalizers" you speak of are really rather terrible when it comes down to listening on quality equipment vs an actual eq.

This is a great article to learn about frequency response: http://forumDOTecousticsDOTcom/bbs/messages/34579/131062.html

(replace DOT with .)

@ Charles M: you're missing something too buddy. If ALL you listen to is Jazz, you certainly could have an improved timbre from your earphones if they are tuned nice. BUT you're not going to get nearly the improvement you would if you got a pair of, say, Sennheiser HD 595s.]]>Apr 10th 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/Apr 10th 2009 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/10/radiopaq-launches-custom-tuned-earphones-to-single-our-your-audi/
