just loaded my iPod with all my alt-preset-standard mp3's and I am little disappointed. They sound pretty good but do not get that loud on my V6's (I expected to be drowned in sound with these). On my EX70's they sound decent but distort at high volumes. I also have the iRiver IMP-550, and mp3's...

just got a 10GB iPOD from a friend. Installed itunes for Windows (latest version from Apple). Connected iPOD to my computer thru firewire connection--formatted the drive and now for the past 24 hours a circle with a line through it keep sflashing saying "Disk Mode--Do Not Disconnect." I have...

I just listened to the iriver imp-550 and was blown away by the sound and output power--man that is the loudest output power I have ever heard from an mp3-cd player--incredible sound-i turned it all the way up with absolutely no distortion. Here's the catch though, I do not like not having...

I have never listened to an iPOD and I was wondering what the ouput power and volume levels are like like. Basically will it be loud enough for me? I find tha a lot of MP3 players and PCDP's do not have adequete volume levels.

I want to buy an iPOD, but I really want an AM/FM tuner in the same unit. Does the iPOD have any accesory that will enable me to have AM/FM capability? Does Apple ever plan to release an integrated radio tuner into an iPOD. Any suggestions or alternatives?

I just noticed that audiocubes has the new Sony EX71's. Has anyone compared them to the EX70. I personally love the EX70's for the gym (great isolation). Are the EX71's worth the upgrade?

just got my ETY 4P's, and I do not see any markings on the box or the phones. How do I know I definitely have the 4P's as oppesed to the 4S? Also which is right and left? I am assuming RED is right but let me know if I am wrong.

do the Ety ER-4P's have any soundstage?

Here is what I set out to do: buy the best closed cans for under $100. I found the V6's at a local store (Fry's) for $79. When I put them on I was astonished at how much I loved them. They were driven easily from a portable, sounded even better through my home system, and had great bass...

I just got these today--$27 total with shipping and tax (if you're outisde CA there is no tax). I have had a very hard time finding these and just wanted to let you know. They had 8 left two days ago when I purchased mine. I have a pair of EX70's which I use at the gym, so I am curious to compare.

OK I have a stereo mini out in my computer'a sound card (Yamaha AC-XG). I have hooked that up (via a min to RCA cord) to my Yamaha Natural Sound Stereo Receiver. This is what I use when I play mp3's through my stereo. I realized that when nothing is playing, but I have it have the headphones...

I just bought the UR-40's. I took the foam pads out as MacDef suggested and I like them. I was wondering how they compare to the Sporta/Porta line. I know they use the same drivers, but each fits differently so I was wondering how they all compare. I also have the 35's which I love. I would say...

I am looking for sub $100 closed cans that sound as good as the KSC-35's. Just got my 35's today and I can't believe how great they sound. Looking for a closed can that sounds good and is under 100 bucks.

Just got my ksc-35's and they are incredible. I am shocked at how great they sound. I own the UR-40's and the ksc-50's and the 35's are much better. My only problem is that the ear pad on the left can is mis-shapen and doesn't "hug" the can they way, for instance, the pads on the 50's hug the...

I was wondering what are some good albums to use to burn in headphones.

What's the difference between the Aiwa HP-VX100 and Aiwa HP-V600? Heard good things about both--what is the difference--they look the same--also where can I buy them? I think there might be a difference in the cord: the VX100 has a 2foot cord with a 2 foot extension. I think the US version...

Judging on sound alone--not comfort--which has better sound. Also since the 55's have a "vise grip" and fit snugly, do they even come close to the KSC-35's in sound? Last, is there anyone who has found the 55's comfortable?

what is clipping--is it distortion or something else?

I got a pair of the 6's a week and a half ago. I still haven't gotten used to them with respect to comfort. I looked at a picture of the ETY 4P's and they look a little different. I was wondering if they were more comfortable, less, or the same. Just as a side note: I have a pair of the Sony...

OK, so I was so excited to get my ETY 6's and they arrived today. I have been using the Sony EX-70's (unmodded) the past couple of weeks and I have loved them. Great power, incredible isolation, good bass; granted not the truest cans around but I really like them. They are also very comfy. They...

I know these are totally different cans but I just took the plunge and ordered the ETY ER-6's. I can't afford the 4's so please don't even mention them. I will primarily use them as a portable can, but I was wondering if they will be good as a home can to hook up to my stereo. Or should I get a...

I purchased a Philips PCDP AX 5111 at Target, and I really like it. Has a nice hearty output to my Sony EX-70's; I have all the volume I need. I was thinking of stepping up to the Expanium mp3/CD player (301 or303). I was wondering how the volume output in those units are. Will it be less than I...

I just bought a pair of EX70's, and I have to say, I really like them. I love the isolation. Only drawback is music that is intentionally distorted (e.g. hard alternative rock) can be painful (oh, and no case????). Yes I know the ETY 6's are a million times better, but for my first time...

I have been scouring this board the past couple of days, and came very close to purchasing the ETY ER-6's. Then I read on this board that they are not driven easily from a pcdp. This confused me because I thought that's what the were made for. Anyway, my question is if they will be loud enough...

these are the behind the neck closed phones. They look pretty cool. I tried a bunch of Sennies (HD-202, 212)but I hate the way they look on me; very bulky. That's why I didn't even try the HD-497. I take them to the gym so I want a good cros between looks and performance. I tried the Koss UR-40...
