Thanks!

I thought I would ask this question here because there are so many knowledgeable people. My little brother recently purchased an archos 604 and was hoping to use itunes to sync his music. Supposedly, BadApple resleased a plug-in that would allow this to happen. Unfortunately, the link on there...

You're only locked into iTunes as long as your AAC files have DRM on them. As soon as you remove the DRM (using a program or, in the way you have suggested, burning a ripping) they could play on any player that supports AAC. If you converted them to another file type, you could play them on any...

Thanks for all of the information. Could someone point me int he direction of the beyer pads that creyc mentioned?

Also, would anyone recommend the Sony MDR-D66SL Eggo Headphones? Or are these out of their league when compared to headphones such as the ATH 900 of dt-770 (when price is taken into account)?

Thanks for the information. Are there any main differences in the sound signatures of these 2 headphones?

Does anyone have any comments on the dt-770-80 vs. the audio technica ath 900?

First, thanks for all the feedback. One question: are the k 81 dj circum-aural and has anyone experienced any comfort issues with them? I have found that my ears are fairly sensitive and having something resting on them starts to bother me after an hour or so. Also, where did you see the...

I have been at college for about a month now and am already thinking about getting a new pair of headphones. I have been using my westone um1 from my laptop and ipod nano (with rockbox of course) with very satisfactory results. The problem I am having is that I sleep with earplugs, and that...

Another headphone that is often highly recommended on this site is the westone UM1. If you are new to the world of IEMs (in ear moniters), they might be a good place to start because of their excellent comfort. I have owned them and the shure e3c; both sound wonderful, but I enjoyed the Westones...

westone um1-I use them when the pilot tells the cabin to turn off their portable electronics and no one notices them

If this is your first venture into IEMs I would look at comfort as a priority. It can be wierd to have something jammed in your ear and may be uncomfortable. I bought and sold the shure e3c just for this reason. I would recommend the Westone Um1. It is a bit above your budget ($10), but from...

One thing that you should also consider before buying IEMs is how they feel once they are in your ears. I am a snior in high school (17 years old) and bought a pair of shure e3c last year. I couldn't stand the feel of them in my ears and sold them. Since then, I have been wanting some sort of...

I just received my pair of Westone um1s today and all I can say is wow. In the past I have owned the shure e3c, but found them very uncomfortable. The um1 are actually very comforatble (amazingly so) and sound great for rock and other similar genres. At $110, I would highly recommend them...

I have heard neither so I can't comment on sound quality (I have previously owned the shoure e3c). I can say that one thing you should cosider is comfort. I really was suprised that I didn't like the feel of the sures in my ears. More recently I have tried the triflanges and prefer them quite a...

I honestly don't know why the shure e3cs bothered me. I often found that putting them in and getting a decent seal was irritating. I usually used the small or medium grey tips. After I have sold them I have tried other IEMs with triflange tips and liked them much better. I have also tried the...

Any suggestions?

First of all, I just wanted to thank everyone on this forum. Over the summer, when I was looking for headphones, everyone was a great help. I settled on the hd 595 and have been happy with them ever since, but I can't help but think about the AKG 701. Anyway, my senior year of high school is...

I'd check out a company called power support. http://www.powersupportusa.com/ I run cross country in high school and bring my ipod mini to all my meets. I have a square type silicone case, but from what I've read all their cases are quite good. Mine offers a great deal of protection, is...

Quote: Good old Neuros, makers of such products as the 442 PMP and MPEG-4 recorder, are getting all gushy with open source again. The Register is reporting that in a private demo at CES, Neuros revealed that its upcoming Video Recorder (the Recorder III, pictured, for those of you keeping...

Quote: Highlight of the day: a video-interview with Hugo Fiennes at Sigmatel, the main guy behind the Rio Karma, Chroma, Avalon, Cubic, and Opel (the last 4 of which never made it to market). We got a product demonstation of Sigmatel's reference design for a player that's just like the Rio...

"Sennheiser has just introduced a slew of new headphones and headsets, including the company's first consumer ear-canal headphones, the CX 300 (seen at right). Sennheiser's aiming these squarly at the iPod and other portable media player market, hoping to find users a little dissatisfied with...

another vote for the AKG 240. I almost prefer the sound of them to my sennheiser hd 595 ($290 retail)
