Audio Technica MSR7b or Shure 1540?
I really like the technicas, just wondering if doubling up in cash would make a big difference? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.- Bruin9999

Looking for a closed back
Hi all, haven't been on head fi in years, but I need advice from the vast knowledge here. Like the title says, I'm looking for a closed back wired headphone that sounds similar to the sony XBA-A3 iem. I love the sound, but I do get tired of having things in my ear for a prolonged period of...- Bruin9999

Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread
I've been walking the dogs with these for a mile a day and they never move. I have not had any wind issues at all and I live in Chicago where it's always breezy. The right tips are a must. I first complained about the thinness of the cord, but the stock cord has given me zero microphonics. They...- Bruin9999

Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread
As far as the cable supplied, it's better than you think. Yes, it's thin, but I'm getting like zero microphonics. I use these with an ipod classic and jds labs c5 amp and am totally blown away by the clarity. I couldn't imagine them sounding any better. I listen to all types of music and I was...- Bruin9999

Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread
Finally had a decent day here in chicago and I took down all the christmas decorations listening to these the entire time. They never fell out once and the sound and comfort are top notch. By far one of the best purchases ever. I love these.- Bruin9999

dunu 2000J vs. rha t20, which to buy?
Thanks for the input, tried them both, the 2000j's I felt were a little harsh on the high's for me and the t20's were uncomfortable. I ended up with the sony xba a3 and comfort and sound were spot on for my ears.- Bruin9999

Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread
Thanks for the info guys, think I'm going to give these a shot. Just one more question, are these made of metal or plastic? One thing I really liked about the rha's was build quality, they were like tiny stainless steel tanks.- Bruin9999

Sony XBA-A3 - Impressions Thread
It's not like I plan to run a marathon with these, but I do use iem's on bike rides, walking the dogs, shoveling snow, cutting grass and so on. I just wanted to see if these would stay put or constantly become dislodged from ears. I had a set of yamaha eph 100's and I forgot to not wear them in...- Bruin9999

So, are you guys stating that you really can't move around at all with these? Is fit really that tedious? Thanks for any replies- Bruin9999

Thanks for the info, just tried the rha t20i's at the apple store and I think I'm going that way, really liked the sound. Shame they only come in black from apple. I'll be getting the silver just headphone version. Saw the zn's and that volume controller is in a bad spot, too bad they don't make...- Bruin9999

How would these stack up against the rha t20 or dunu 2000j? I had a set of yamaha eph 100's go bust on me and I'm looking for new iem's. I have the m-100's and like them just fine, but I don't know if I want an iem with the same sound. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks- Bruin9999
