Hi,

I've run into a curious issue with my KX3 and Etymotic ER3SE earphones.

It seems that the ER3SEs are sensitive enough that I end up only using the
lowest handful of volume levels on the KX3, and that, at those low levels,
the sidetone (and presumably other sound) ends up distorted (presumably
because the DAC's dynamic range got too small).

My instinct is to get an inline attenuator for the earphones -- something
like this:

I'm specifically looking for something with fixed attenuation, because many
of the variable ones have stereo balance issues.

Does this seem like a reasonable course of action? Does anyone know of
cheaper and/or better options? I'm not really set up for building my own
right now.

73,

Julie
