Using ‘The Regulator’ preset, my left earphone periodically buzzes or cracks a little bit… only the left.
Any suggestions (other than simply using a different preset =) would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks y’all!
(ps – I’m using low/mid-end Ultimate Ears in case that helps at all…)
Could be that you have the volume turned up too loud. Turn it down and see if that stops it. You might be over-driving the head set. The Regulator preset is a very hard driving preset. It’s much louder at default than any of the others, especially in the low end. I’m sure you found that out just by listening. 🙂
Reply if needed.
Sounds like blown headphones, mayasecret. If the transducers (whether headphones or speakers) have been played too loudly for too long, they will get damaged, and subsequently make a buzzing sound when fed a lot of bass. I’m sure you have heard this before in regular speakers 🙂.
There is no workaround other than either turning the bass down or turning the volume down. The best solution is to replace the headphones. Check head-fi.org for recommendations. 🙂

Hey, thanks for the replies!
However, they’re somewhat new… and it’s only a couple of songs that buzz…
Also, the scope maxes out top and bottom for these few tunes (looks like I’m throwing Breakaway off the wall when they play =), so I’m hoping that it’s just a problem with the song…
Thanks again y’all!

Are you looking at input or output?
If it’s the input, the distortion is in the song already.
If it’s output, turn Final Drive down 😉.

He’s in the Personal forum so he probably hasn’t got a final drive control!

Oops! My bad, nice catch, Stuart 🙂.
Then it’s definitely either the song or the headphones. Breakaway Personal does not add distortion, unless you turn the bass up way way too high.

oh yeah, it’s the song… I’m TOTALLY satisfied with Breakaway, which is still working perfectly…
