Tried my friends briefly. I didnt like the ergonomics. It simply sits too low and it also has sharp edges

It isnt that flawless though. There is lag between any operations you do (like playing a song or skipping to the next) and when you actually start hearing the changes you made. It becomes very annoying when you are like me and you like to skip through songs alot. The lag on my system is about 2...

I once farted right in front of a womans face because I thought nobody could hear it. IEMs can really ruin your life. True story.

Buying a watch of any kind is shallow anyway you see it. A watch today is just not functional anymore when you got clocks everywhere you go. You got them on mobile phones, mp3 players, laptops, cars, just about everywhere. And buying a Rolex for reliability is a moot point too. Just about any...

I'd recommend the Apple in-ear. They are easily everything the ER4s are and more. They completely retain their sound quality no matter in what environment you are. Apple in-ears make mono recordings sound like binaural.

The soundstage on the Apple in-ears is unreal. Even better then full sized cans! Wether its the K1000 or any Stax headphone. You'd have to bring in ESL speakers the size of a whole wall to approach the airiness of the Apple in-ears. They are so detailed and the instrument seperation is out...

These are all FOTM IEMs. Apple in-ear is a keeper

Apple In-ear. The most comfortable IEM I have ever used.

4) Other suggestions. Apple In-ear. In fact I even think its better then the IE8

I dont think the apple iems are bass light at all. The best is perfect and smooth. Though this is coming from a guy who thinks the bass on the SA6 is perfectly fine too while I have read that others complained about the lack of it. It depends entirely on the recordings though. Not on the IEMs...

I recently downgraded from IE8 to Apple IEms and what can I say other then the fact that I am pleasantly surprised by them. Two gripes I had with the IE8 was that 1) they dont isolate at all and 2) their bass is way way too overwhelming. When listening to tunes in public I was just hearing the...

I actually saw a girl who bought the iBuds with remote for $39. It really blows my mind why people are buying such crap. For the same price you could get PK3s (I got mine for cheaper). I let her listen to my PK3s. At first she was listening to a piano play on some low quality youtube video and...

The ibuds arent as bad as people make them out to be. But you can get yuin PK3 for the same price. The PK3 is so much better. You'll be completely blown away by its SQ. People in my class actually keep asking me if they can listen to my PK3s.

I actually seen that one before. But for $300? Nice try. you might as well get a 256gb ssd for a bit more. I think they are around that price now. You might as well buy this one for the hdd only. Apricorn rolls out pocketable Aegis Mini 240GB 1.8-inch hard drive

Could anyone actually post a link where to get this 240gb 1.8" harddrive. I have seen alot of talk but havent actually saw it on sale anywere online. Wanted to get one for my laptop for a while now.

VLC player is really the worst player to play music files even if its the only app that allows you to play flac. No album art, ads, no extra functions for music playback, slow ui, ugly ui. Might as well take the extra time to convert to flac files into alac and then upload them with itunes.

Correct me if I am wrong but apple sells a single fm radio/remote already. You can plug that in and use it with your own headphones of choice with fm radio support to boot. I dont know if that works though

I am really wondering how they can make such graphs. Are they using microphones or something? And even then the seal and tips can cause huge changes in the sound. How can they emulate that

Moseboy have you tried making your own custom tips? You can buy these foam eartips from your local drugstore for like $2. The make a hole with a screwdriver and voila you got your own comply tips. I used them and it worked great but I recently reverted back to silicon tips because of the...
