I have Sennheiser IE4s for onstage use. Will these work? Will they distort the sound or lower the volume? Thanks.

I just use them with a pair of head phones and they work great. As electrical engineer with a masters degree, I would say that wires don't distort sound as long as you use them in low signal applications.

These are very small extensions that I bought for my television headphones. They would not be strong enough for any onstage music programs.

I've been useing them with my computer and tv and have found they work really well without messing with the sound or volume. Hope this helps.

On most computer sound systems there is now a software mixer control panel you could use to boost the middle and upper midrange frequencies to accentuate speech. That will work with any headphones. If the volume is not high enough you may need to also buy a headphone amplifier which will boost the volume more than the computer alone can. Typically headphones with a larger diameter driver will handle more volume before distorting and those with larger, especially around-ear cushtions and "closed" type will provide more isolation from external sounds and not disturb others as much with less sound leakage. Near this price point you might prefer Koss UR-10, but if you spend closer to $30 you will get better sound from Sennheiser HD201 (around $18 on sale) or better still their HD419 (around $27 on sale but doesn't go on sale as often, $30 regular/sale price).

You should be able to hear something no doubt. But these type of headphones and up usually benefit from an external amp or interface. I currently use an old alesis usb2.0 interface (100$new) and its perfect for these as an external driver. You can find something like that (usb2.0 external audio interfaces) all over amazon for $20+ maybe even less.

They will work but will not be very loud. you buy an amp with higher power for better sound quality.

No, I never heard of those. I really can't answer about the bass. I know that when you first use these you should have the volume turned down a little.

We'll hopefully you have sound settings like I do on my iPad, but regardless they are not distorting. I use mine primarily for home theater movies after hours. These are exceptional headphones and built very well. Bye

Depends on your tv. Mine a samsung allows you to turn up the tv volume as well as control the headset volume. Only issue with these headphones is they work in line of site. You have to be directly across from the transmitter. I prefer the more expensive Sennheiser models for better reception.

They will only get as loud as the device you are listening to. I can plug them in my laptop, turn volume way up and hear clear without them in my head. The sound quality is fairly decent also.

it depends...I don't think so, If you like very loud music it will, but if you can keep it normal it's fine...the cushions on these headphones will reduce (a lot) the surrounding sounds, so you don't have to listen to the music that loud.

The other people who answered obviously know nothing about the product. It says on the Sennheiser website they have "up to 26 dB noise suppression". (http://en-us.sennheiser.com/earphones-high-end-hifi-stereo-passive-noise-reduction-ie-80)They have very, very good noise reduction. I can hardly hear anything other than whatever music I'm listening to or whatever game I'm playing with these in.

To be honest I dont know because I didnt try them with glass.They are not the most confortable thing, but they are OKSound is pretty clear, but not very loud.I think they are great in design, and the cord is ok, not too long and I like that.Noise cancelling is OK but not great, compared with any Sennheiser,

Not certain but I'm pretty sure it won't do anything. You'd be better off asking in a Sennheiser forum or shooting them an email. I see it like this. You could use it but it wouldn't make the senns louder. You'd have to plug the fiio into whatever transmits to your senns. It won't transmit that extra power to the sens cause it can only transmit what it normal does.

They work well non the less, If you where to use Realtek HD audio then i suppose they would sound better. Basically if you get anything that would make your audio sound great without the RIG the audio will sound excellent with them.

Absolutely. These headphones will block almost everything. For my ears, the *only* thing they don't block are thundering bass notes from stadium concerts. But thunder itself, as well as planes, trains, highway traffic, sirens, TVs, loud voices, air-conditioners---gone. Stay away from stadium concerts and you're good. And, yes, as someone else here says, the Etymotic Research ER-4PT/S will block noise without you needing to destroy your eardrums. ... Superb sound quality, too.

Should be fine. It has a customizable volume limiter as well as an equalizer that filters. Loudest is on lossless files with the EQ off. I run mine through various from so-so JVC buds to MOR Sonys to Sennheiser 650's. Each needs its own adjustment, but never had distortion.Buy it. You'll love it once you get used to the quirks.

I can't confirm it but they are standard headphones so I don't suppose that they won't work. Hope this is helpful.

Yes, you may notice some change to the sound beyond the reduction in volume. In comparison to normal earplugs the distortion of the sound is virtually non-existent. If you normally expose yourself to loud music without earplugs, or if you are used to using regular earplugs, I think you will be happy with these. Of course they don't compare to some of the custom molded, high-dollar products available. Assuming you don't want to spend that much, these are a must-have.
