^ $100. Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm just getting back into the IEM game. My new phone won't have a 3.5mm jack, but I'd like to continue using my Future Sonics Atrio M5s and Fischer Audio DBA-02s. It seems like the USB type C to 3.5mm adapters are pretty bad, especially the included ones. I'm thinking that a...

I know that this is probably a stupid question, but I'm curious as to how bluetooth earphones work:   Does the sound run through the audio processor on the device and then simply transfer over to the earphone via bluetooth (like with wired earphones only wirelessly), or does the sound bypass...

Brainwavz M4 for $28.00 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0068Z8JBS http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0068Z9YUS/ref=mp_s_a_2?qid=1338343668&sr=8-2. - with headset.

Funny that you bring up the A151 and CC51. I just spent a good 1/2 hour trying to figure out which one I want to buy. I was looking for an inexpensive single balanced armature to round out my "collection", but the CC51s just sounded too good to ignore. I'm also curious how a small (6mm) driver...

I'm bringing this up because I'm pretty sure that very few people can understand how I feel.   Does anybody else feel like their interest in IEMs borders on a sickness? Like those people who hoard cats or something. I have some very good IEMs (Atrio m5, DBA-02, SP51), but I can't stop...

Now you guys are making me want to selling my V2 and get the new MG7 version. The price is very tempting, depending on how much I can get for the V2.

The band Russian Circles is good. They're more in the Post-metal Genre (like Isis and Neurosis), but don't have any vocals. I believe that they toured with Tool at one point, but I could be wrong. You also might want to try From Monuments to Masses. Again, they're more Post-Metal. They also...

I'm sure this poll has been done before, but I'm curious to see currently what type of tech people prefer.   I often read on this forum about how Balanced Armature and Dynamic Driver IEMs produce a different sound signature. Dynamic Drivers are generally described as warm, while Balanced...

Just as I suspected. I do love my Pre though.   Quote:

On my Pre, I use Ampache Mobile to connect to my home Ampache Music server. The files are all MP3, but I have the server set to transcode the music to a lower bitrate in order to limit bandwidth usage on 3G. They are at 192 after transcoding. This isn't ideal, because I certainly prefer the...

Bazirker, nice review.   I know that this is slightly off topic, but how would you compare the sound quality of the Palm Pre to something like the D2+ when using the Atrios? I have a Palm Pre currently, but I've always assumed that the quality isn't up to the Cowon standards. I just sold my...

I'm not sure why they went with non-replaceable cables, but then again one has to wonder why they haven't updated the design either. The design is one area of genuine criticism. Good thing poor design has nothing to do with poor audio quality. I actually like rocking the ugly phones - it seems...

While that is true, it plays into his notion that we are all gullible fools - since we are willing to pay the high cost for substandard products simply because a sizeable enough group of people are willing to do the same. How many times have you thought that women are fools for buying expensive...

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that ALL >$10 earphones (earbuds, in his words) are a ripoff. I didn't hear any exceptions (except maybe JVC - he bought 2 of their headphones). It's a pretty bold statement to make without providing any evidence. And no, the fact that dollar stores sell...
