Hi everybody, am thinking of getting one of the above, but was just wondering if they would be any good plugged directly into an iPod (5th gen)? have done a search and the general consensus seems to be that the a500/700 are ok unamped, but haven't been able to find something directly on...

Hi everybody, just wondering what you guys think of the new crop of cellphones with mp3 capability, in particular the Sony Ericsson W850i and the Nokia 5300 (since they can take removable memory cards of 1 or 2 GB). am looking at getting one of those (current cellphone is on its last...

... will be going away for a short trip, and will be bringing along my iPod mini to kill time on the plane/bus rides. ... anybody know whether the baggage scanners/x-ray machines will damage such mp3 players if passed through? if so then i'll have to keep it in my pockets throughout hahaha...

... just got a pretty good deal on a friend's used iMac, and am thinking of getting a DAP for the convenience. the 2 burning questions right now are: 1) are there any DAPs other than the iPod that will be compatible with the damn thing? the software for other players seem to be only...

hello everyone, ... my brother is looking to get some headphones for use with his Yamaha digital piano. he tried out my SR80 and PX200 for the fun of it and thought that the Senns sounded/felt ok, except that the cord is a little too short for his purposes. he doesn't have any real...

... just got a pair of the above in an office gift-exchange. should i try it out or just leave it sealed in the package so that it can be offloaded to some unknowing sucker during christmas?

am thinking of getting one of the above for my portable CDP... for what's it's worth, i'm not anal about 'soundscape'/detailing and all that, given the type of music i'm into (death metal/punk/hardcore). will be using it with SR80s, although i am looking into maybe getting the AKG240S or the...

... hi everyone, am thinking of getting some new cans; would you guys recommend the AKG 240 for portable use in my case? - will be using it unamped with a portable CDP - will be used mainly for rock/metal, and some hip-hop - will be carried in a backpack (so unwieldy, Grado-like cords are...

... just outta curiousity, what kind of car is the band driving in the music video?

any opinions on the new Rancid album "Indestructible"? the video clip they had on the website doesn't make me feel too optimistic about it ...

just saw this Sabbath box set comprising of the first 8 albums, each in the original LP style sleeves - any opinions on this reissue? am very tempted to get it, as i only have Master Of Reality on disc, and hell, break down the price and it's only like 5 bux apiece...

seeing how Dark Angel's 'Darkest Desires' thread has become the 2-part monster it is today (hahaha), just had the idea to start what will hopefully be a companion thread, but focusing on death metal, grind and hardcore (among other things). sure, there might be some overlap between the bands...

what i'm roughly looking for: 1) emphasis on lyrics and flow. basically i'm looking for rappers who still utilize the mic rather than hide behind a 'dance' beat. 2) no dance tunes. especially those 'female-singer-with 2-rap-verses' so-called 'rap' songs. 3) and thus by default, nothing...

... am thinking of getting "Genius of Modern Music Vol 1 & 2" on Verve as well as "Straight No Chaser". what other records would you guys recommend?

just found out that Chuck Schuldiner from Death/Control Denied passed away on 13 Dec 2001. he will be greatly missed by metalheads everywhere...

... with december coming up and all, i guess this would be the time to get some xmas music. am looking for something jazzy, as a change from the usual trad style stuff. any recommendations? (anyone that mentions the NSync xmas album will be taken outside and shot. repeatedly.)

...does anyone know where i can find a pair of V6s in S'pore? I've tried the Sony dealers but they don't seem to have heard of it. should i be headed down to Sim Lim, perhaps?

am thinking about getting the Senn HD433 for rough use with a portable - what are your opinions? did a forum search but didn't find very much. can get them pretty cheap locally (S$30 - approx. US$16). but are they worth the price? seemed pretty ok when i used them at Borders...
