Does the Yuin PK3 come with the buds that goes into the ear as well or just the 'foam/padding' around the ear piece?

They are the same form factor as the iPod earbuds.

Re: Are we SURE the N900 has good sound quality?

I read that there is some problem with sound its lowering by itself on media player. And i have same issue sometime on my phone. This what i have found that the volumes level are different. Player volume doesn't even move when im using volume button (yellow bar). Isn't it supposed to move simultaneously.

Sound quality on the FM transmitter didnt seem to bad either. Many people had complained about it so I expected it to be quite bad but it was just as clear if not clearer than any radio station. I only tried it with the car stationary outside my house though. Don't know what it would be like when I am driving around. Was just happy to hear it work because it did not work on my N97.

Well the FM transmitter is quite weak.. Which causing the sound to be bad and hissy. Some car, FM transmitter doesn't reach out at all due to the sealed reception or it being too weak to reach the radio. You'll have to put it next to the radio to hear something but not very clear. I have to opened up my car and set a wire connected from the aerial to loop around the middle of the car and cover it back up under the carpet to make my radio works with my N900.

The only way to get the volume to work again is to closed the app and reopen.

The volume key doesn't works anymore with Flash contents when full screen. Used to work with PR1.1 but PR1.1.1 broke it lol.

Solution to fix this is to minimize the flash video and then turn the volume down to "0" then maximize the flash video back and the volume should now work!

Are people using some of the higher end buds that are 35ohms?

N900 sounds great! Still needs hardware access to EQ, but generally sounds great.

Wonder when we will see an EQ? 3430 has the function built in. Can not remember if five or ten band.

Has anyone worked up the EQ access to the audio chip? Something that allows a preset to be configured or a GUI for on-the-fly adjustments would be handy. Nice to see it added to the CSSU or the replacement Media Player.

Re: Are we SURE the N900 has good sound quality?

The Symfonie player incorporates EQ access.
