I measured the impedances of the S3 and S4 stock earbuds at 1 kHz. They are both very similar and roughly 32 - 35 ohm.
I did come careful listening tests using my S4 (no EQ ... default settings) and there is a huge difference in sound quality between these buds. The S3 buds sound much better to me and the S4 buds sound tinny with not nearly enough bass. Has anyone else noticed this? I know from a review that they are in fact different but should they sound THAT different? or do I have a bad set of S4 buds?
