Hi guys, just got the Sennheiser IE8! Best I've ever listened to (coming from UM2). Listened to it for hours on my iPhone and the music was just so engrossing. I love these IEM. But one thing I've noticed is that in my lunch hour I go to the park and catch up on news podcasts. I've been using...

Advise please folks... I totally stuffed my old UM2's in a case with my 2 first gen iPod Shuffles one two many times. Now the left side IEM isn't working... big sigh! What do you think i should do? Take advantage of the 5% + discount from our sponsor and get another one (this time in...

Hey, can anyone help me get my head around this site? http://www.musicgiants.com It doesn't work on my mac (doesn't seem to support Safari). Is it a lossless download site? What format? Thanks. ZT

Seems like a cool idea, anyone have experience as to the pitfalls of listening to music underwater? Could be fun down the pool... http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/14/s...de-that-count/

OMG! Well, for all those that said it'll never happen.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5294842.stm Bet this'll annoy the Russians (wink!)

I love my Westone UM2's. Warm, bass-rich, accurate and comfortable. Walk around with them every day. BUT. The only thing that I don't like is the colour. Why oh why are they frosted clear plastic? Everyone looks at me as though I'm deaf with hearing aids in. Anyone else find this? I...

I almost hit the "Buy" button on this: http://www.amphonicdesigns.com/viewtunes/index.html But I thought I better ask you guys if any of you have used it. Is it buggy or annoying? I'm using a Mac and have all my tunes "Artworked". Please, if you have experience with this or any other...

Does anyone know which players support Album Art? I have a iPod Nano and all my files have album art. What I find annoying is that the image is so small. I know you can scroll to a bigger size image but in a second it snaps back to the mini one again. Just out of interest are there any...

Sorry guys, Had to do it. Seems there's a growing number of us who have discovered that this wee guy improves the iPod's sound quality. Please post your thoughts, is it merely a placebo? I'm convinced it's a major improvement with my trusty Nano. See thread below...

I saw this: http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/14/p...igital-tuners/ it has an 800GB! HD. Could this be adapted for music I wonder? Wow! It could hold my entire CD collection and still have a massive amount of room left. Anyone know if this will work for music? ZT

Just a rumour but it seems likely according to this: http://www.thinksecret.com/news/0602videoipod.html ZT

Apparently there are rumours that the Nokia N91 has been released. Still no sign of it down here tho. Does anyone have it yet? Why I find it tempting: 1. mixer, 5-band equalizer, loudness, music DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) 2. Answer calls while listening to music and music pauses...

I've bought the ER6, the E4, SuperFi Pro 5's and now the UM2's. It's been a long process. But one thing I still don't know anything about is "impediance" - range of frequencies and whatever. Can anyone out there explain to me what to look out for and what these terms mean. Sorry if this is...

Is anyone else playing Apple Lossless files on their Nano? With the Ipod Mini it was a nightmare at the gym. Kept stopping due to the HD buffer. But now with a flash player I guess there's no problem? I've found the battery still lasts a decent amout of time (for a few workouts anyway)...

Hi, I took advantage of Earphone's 20% off deal to get myself a pair of the new UM2's. They are fab sounding (IMO). But just one thing. From the iPod they are fine, from the headphone socket of my home mini system they are fine but from my computer at work and my powerbook at home there is...

Hi there, I just stumbled on someone's "iCatalog" while looking for album artwork. (see below) http://homepage.mac.com/john_kruper/music/b.html I downloaded a trial version and it looks promising. But I'm having trouble automatically finding album artwork. It's very comprehensive I...

Hey, Looks like Futuresonics have updated their beige beauties. There's a new stylish kid on the block the FS.1 http://www.futuresonics.com/ ZT

Hi there, Perhaps I should post this in another area (computers as source?) Anyway does anyone know if there is a way to get my Mac to turn on internet radio at a certain time then close the connection when the show is finished? I'm hoping that I'll be able to record shows I like while...

Hi there, I'm thinking of getting a cabinet maker to build me a shelving system for all my Hi-fi gadgets. Please can you take a look at the attached .jpg (hope this works) and let me know what you think. I'm particularly interested in getting opinions from people who have got custom...

After reading posts here over the last few months I'm feeling like I'm missing out. I'm feeling way jealous of those X5 owners out there. What tempts me about the X5 is its supposed better headphone output. I have an iPod coupled with SuperFi Pro's and sometimes the E4. When I use the pod...

I'm sure a lot of you have checked out "Headroom's" website but I stumbled upon the section "The Mobile Audiophile" today... http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-ap...le-audiophile/ It's confused me. They go on and on about the use of a portable DVD player as the best option for audiophile sq...

Headphone advice please.... My brother-in-law wants to buy an iPod for when he travels (proffessional soccer) he was gonna just use the ones that come with it but I want him to get something better. I'll even pay (he's a nice guy). So what I'd like to know from you guys what you'd...

Just ordered mine - but I don't think I suit yellow (shudder!).... http://www.threadless.com/product/265/My_Pet_Human ZT

"Oh if only I knew then what I know now".... I've just spent the entire weekend converting lossless files to MP3 and AAC then MP3/AAC Gaining them, my poor laptop has crashed twice, my three external HD's are running hot and my files are everywhere. If I was starting out fresh I'd: 1. Buy...

Hi, Over the last few months I've seen a lot of threads mentioning MP3 Gain as a way to make the iPods equaliser more useable. I'm really intrigued to try this as with my ER6's and E4c's whenever I increase the bass on the eq I get terrible distortion and I hear this will fix it...
