Now, this might be an odd request as the Iphone 4 are around for some time, but they make good DAPs and are fairly repairable.
BUT: I replaced my Iphone 4 with an 4s - and the 4s sounds dull and lacks clarity. It is not like those "uhmm, I think the 4s lacks some... depth?Maybe?" impressions. It is audible almost from the first note,
especially with orchestra.
I even bought a second 4s and it sounds dull as well. Can't tell both 4s from each other but always from the clearer Iphone 4. Checked all settings, Eqs bypassed, checked with Music, File Explorer, VLC, Neutron. I am using Koss Porta Pros.
I would say, treble is missing around 6 kHz. VLC gave me even some strange Compressor / Limiter like "Radio Sound" that could not be defeated. But not the main issue here. Really strange.
I mean the 4s was sold to the Zillions? And no one ever noticed that the 4s misses treble?
So, does anyone still have both Iphones and could check frequency response of the 3,5mm jack?
All the best and thanks, Herbert
