Are there any discounts to be had on the N90Q?  seems like the only place to order online is through Harmon at full MSRP.  I'm interested in Black, shipped to the US.   Thanks   Mark

Anyone have comments on the HA-2 compared to the other gear there?

Another newbie question, do people share IEMs?  I have middle of the line Westone and Etymotic, should I bring some sort of wipes in between "sharing".....

Look forward to it.  Have been wanting to get some better gear, but hesitant to jump without listening to some first.  Bought one of those bit-heads years ago and was completely underwhelmed.  Android 5 is supposed to support USB audio out, so should allow one to focus on the downstream bits.
