Right now the Klipsch Custom 3's can be had on Amazon for $99.00.    IMHO a great deal on a set of phones with a warm sound signature and good bass response.  The weak point is the cable on these.  Fit can be a little tricky until you get use to them but once you get it figured out they are...

Just replaced my old WinMobile 6.1 phone with a new 3GS iPhone. Using it as a DAP was not real high on my priority list when making the purchase but I figured it couldn’t hurt. There have been a few times I’ve been without my DAP and wanted it but I am never without the cell phone. Anyway, after...

Just a note to thank Klipsch for top notch customer service . I had a warranty issue with my custom-3's. All email correspondence was answered promptly and professionally. Phone calls were handled in the same manner. After getting an RMA number and returning mine they immediately shipped...

I've got the clip your talking about and use it regularly. Here's a link to listen to the file. http://weblog.404creative.com/2007/06/03/auditory-illusions-holophonic-recordings/ not sure were to get the mp3 file. Thanks

Thanks for the informative post. With all due respect for the numbers I am at a loss as to why this does not seem to be the case during my listening tests. I just sat here again this morning listening to a couple tracks from John Scofield UberJam. Player to Custom-3's and Player to HF-1's. I...

Of the players I've listened to, iPod 1g Shuffle, Sansa Fuze, new iPod Nano and the VibeZ. The VibeZ easily bests all the others. Not just in a sense of wide but also deep and detailed. Darkness in the seperation between insturments. Also a few months ago I would have agreed with you that...

Best to worst:Rio Karma Trekstor VibeZ Sansa Fuze Ipod Shuffle 1G Ipod Nano (new one) Creative Zen V

Creative Zen V was the most disappointing player I ever had SQ wise.

Open Portable - Koss KSC75 lean to the forward or brighter side but still have good balance of bass midrange and high end detail. All around winner. Open Portable - Senn PX100 Deep Bass but you might consider it bloated. Highs can seem rolled off or recessed. Still makes a good Rock headphone...

Listening to some BucketHead through my Custom-3's right now. They have really become my go to headphone since I got them in December. Pros:Deep Bass Very Nice Soundstage and instrument separation for IEM Great detail for the amount of Bass getting pumped through them. Very Comfortable...

A great little player. I've got one and it still gets used often. IMO it has a warmer, richer sound than my wifes new Nano. The power output/volume is better and I never have to worry about damage when packing it around in my pocket. It could be the best sounding, out of the box, apple ever...

Not one mention of the VibeZ SQ. Fill in the blank with most in the list, __________ still hasn't made one that sounds as good Give me a break.

I'm in my 50's and stuck in the same rut. Cut my teeth on music from New Riders of the Purple Sage, Commander Cody and Asleep at the Wheel, to King Crimson, Zeplin, Pink Floyd, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer. It seemed the Talent was endless in all genre's. But here's some that I have found...

50's Male, Got to be a few more of us around???

Thanks for your thoughts on the IM716's. I agree with the others here that recommend an amp to get the most out of the IM716. My VibeZ will push the volume to very reasonable levels but they really open up and improve when amped so give it a shot. I have to say I've never experienced the...

Mine made it home today. Got about 3 hours in tonight with them. Initial thoughts are pretty positive but I'll spend some more time with them and do some comparisons while I'm out of town next week.

Is Bass overrated? No, and in speaker or live setting it can physically connect the listener to the music. Not only do we hear it but we also feel it. Is Bass that is poorly reproduced and/or out of balance with the rest of the composition overrated? IMHO it is.. To me, Bass and Treble...
