Has anybody heard of SKECH headphones?
They are bluetooth and I found them at a kiosk at the Mall. They sounded pretty good at the mall, but I can return them if necessary. Brad.- mrbrad

Earjax Lyrics
I recently had a chance to listen to the Lyrics. My first impression is that there is plenty of bass, but it is bloated and not very distinct. Will burn-in help this? I have read here that some types of earphones benefit from burn-in and others don't. Does anyone know about these? Thanks...- mrbrad

Why amp needed for low impedance and high sensativity
I was reading a review of the Simple.fi 5 on anythingbutipod.com and the reviewer stated that with the combination of low impedance (13 Ohm) and high sensitivity (115db/mW), the earphones would function much better with an amp. Can someone explain why this is?- mrbrad

Help removing Olive tips from UM2
I have a pair of Sure Olive tips on my UM2s, which work great for me. When I went to remove them, I found them to be "stuck". I tried twisting them to loosen them up and even with quite a bit of turning force, they won't come off. I am afraid I will break the stem if I turn too hard. Any...- mrbrad

Step up from PX-100
I have been using PX-100s at work for some time now. I like them, but want to move up to something better. However, it needs to be open so I can hear what goes on around me and I would like it to be small, like the PC-100. I would also like to keep it close to $100.

Connecting Clip/Fuze to Auto aux in
I guess the main way to connect a Clip or Fuze to a car stereo is via headphone out. How much loss of SQ do you get by using headphone out rather than LOD? I have only found one LOD for a Fuze and it is pretty pricey.- mrbrad
