Hi,
I have Beyerdynamic Byron, which is an in-ear monitor with built-in mic (3.5mm TRRS jack). I want to use it with my JDS Labs Atom amp. The thing is, when ever I plug it into Atom, the sound is like I'm under water (echoey) for some reason. However, if I use it with Fiio e10k, as well as my other mobile devices, it sounds normal. Just from a quick Google search, it seems like the 3.5mm to 6.3mm adapter causes this issue due to the difference in pin out. Is it true?
If so, how can I know if my Byron uses CTIA or OMTP configuration? And what is the solution for this problem (buying different adapter I guess)? The adapters that I tried are what comes with (in the box) DT 990 premium 600 ohm, HE4xx, AD700x (probably I can infer my Byron uses OMTP from these tries). One thing to note here, it seems like Fiio e10k can work with either configuration without any issue(It doesn't care the ground?), so why does this matter if using adapter?
