I would correct that as far better designed, not always engineered. Quote: Originally Posted by Tus-Chan    Apple products are usually far better engineered, rather than being the strongest technical...

They improve only a little, it's really not a big difference from an iPod or Sansa. Quote: Originally Posted by trentrosa  Thanks for the wonderful replies soundstige :) I think I will purchase the ba200, however I...

You do realize that Japan isn't the only one who has measured radiation levels in Japan, right? It's a worldwide concern that has been investigated by multiple nations... this lady is very foolish.   Quote: Originally...

I tried adding one headphone to my cart and it put a second completely unrelated headphone in my cart also. Looks like a total scam website. You even have to call them to talk about paying with PayPal. What a...
