While I agree that a lawsuit is an excessive action that probably benefits only the lawyers in the end, in this case it does serve the purpose of making more potential buyers aware of how bad the problem is. From the tone of some message here a number of people subscribe to the attitude that...

I have both and would recommend the UM2's if the price difference does not bother you. I found I tend to 'listen' to the music more with the UM2's and 'analyse' the music more with E4C's - in short the UM2's are more enjoyable, especially if you go more for non-classical stuff (IMHO with...

You might want to take a look at ATH's CM7 or EC7.

I went from E3C to ER6i to E4C to UM2. Have to agree that UM2 is much better in the low frequencies, but the E4C seems better in terms of clarity. Warning: I only had the UM2 a few days and have definitely not burn them in sufficiently.

I haven't used the E5C but owned both the E3C and E4C before purchasing the UM2 recently. The UM2 wins hands down in the low frequencies compared to both Shures, but the E4C seems to score higher on clarity, but this may be due to the fact that my UM2 has not burn-in yet. If you are using a...

1/2 or slightly lower on my iPod mini.

I second MrIriver's recommendations. I also go back-and-forth between E3C's and ER6i's. I love Shure's sound but they are not nearly as comfortable to wear - both because Etymotic's tri-flanges works better for me and Shure's rather stiff cable. With hindsight, if I have to choose between the 2...

An instruction manual (more like sheet) comes with the ER6i tells you how to put them on properly.

I have owned both the iPod mini & the Zen Micro. While I don't have the H10 I had used an iRiver Flash-RAM based MP3 for some time. IMPO they compare as follows: Sound quality: iRiver>Creative>iPod (on the high frequency end the iPod definitely loses out to the competition. However I can...

I have both and would recommend the EC7's everytime, unless price is a deciding factor - EC7's costs over twice the 888's.

Looking forward to your shoot-out between the CM7s and the EX-51s. I have EX-71s but they don't match up to the CM7's at all - although the EX-71's has much more or a kick in the bass section overall it sounds to muddy compared to the CM7's. I'm not a bass-head so I am not prepared to sacrifice...

How they fit in your ears are indeed an important factor with regards to the performance, bass or otherwise, of the CM7's. Personally I have odd-shaped ear holes and find it difficult to hold the bud in my left ear. For this reason I have turned to the ATH EC-7's which hangs on the ear, allowing...

Thanks for a very informative review. I wonder how long you've spent running those CM7s in before doing your review. In my experience they need around 100 hours before showing their true colours. Someone else mentioned the EC7s and I must say they are a notch up the CM7s. Personally I found...

Technically? Probably not - everyone that has compared the regular/Ti version says there is no appreciable difference. Vanity, however, may be a good enough reason for you... P.S. I own the Ti version so the above comments means no disrespect.

The same nomenclature was used in the early days of portable computing - the Osborne Transportable weighted something like 30 pounds and needs to run on AC!!

For me, it was none of the above. I used to use an iriver IFP-595T which has 512MB flash RAM. I have long considered something with a bigger capacity, and was looking forward to the soon-to-come iFP-999T with 1G. When I saw the mini I was immediately drawn by its looks, and it is one of...
