Hi guys,
first of all i must apologise for my english, it is not my native language, but hopefuly you will understand what i'm saying. Second of all, this may not be a very big deal for some of you, but it is for me and i'm very sure for others too.
The actual problem is a noise/rustle that i hear whenever i plug in my headphones into the iphone. It is like when you listen to the ocean through a sea shell . It really bothers me and i don't think this is an acceptable flaw. The courious thing is that this doesn't happen if i use the "line out" connector from behind the dock (maybe the mic connector and the amplifier are by-passed). Does enyone has the same problem or know the answer to this one? If you don't know how to test this, please follow these instructions:
1. open iPod aplication on your iPhone and start playing any song;
2. pause the song;
3. move the volume knoob at minimum
(At this point) Did you noticed a small pinch? I'm guessing that is the amplifier switch off (so maybe is it ok?)
4. move the volume knoob to the right (the pinch noise kicks again but with that also comes the noise i described upper in this post - sea shell noise)
i've checked this with some of my friends and only one of them reported a similar result. what could be the problem?
i was also thinking this is because of low impedance and high sensitivity of the headphones.
Thanks in advance,
aveul
