    Very considerate. Have a quick question : You consider the Rosemary as bassy in the general context of earbuds? (if you've heard that model of course)

    Earbuds Round-Up

    That will be in a while. Usually takes around 3 weeks from China. Definitely got that one after your rec. Not a big gamble to learn more on how things work for me compared to other’s impressions.

    That sure is something interesting. Passionate people are fun. Sweden is halfway around the world from me though. I’ll have a look

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Look at me… so gitty getting help from people that don’t know me from Eve that i’m missing my bed time… Here is what I think : i’ll wait on the rw2000, to give me time to figure out how to form a complete understanding from the two somewhat different ways it’s being described by JA and...

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Yep… seen it. Can’t help wondering if i’m a suptle enough of a listener… I’ll sleep on it I guess, I really don’t suffer from insomnia… Good night goog sir; I might harass you again if the uncertainty is unbearable.

    Earbuds Round-Up

    Thank’s a lot JA… That sure was prompt. Thought you were on tour… In Canada, the rw2000 would cost me the same as ff5… and I think you have those as well. What would be some differences between ff3-ff5 and Rosemary’s? Shozy’s are a bit more expensive, and I think a detachable cable would be...

    Hello group.. advice request disguised as a long stream of consciousness ahead. Me : long time lurker; 50’s. I read straight from about pp. 3000, so I could get a feel of the crowd (amazing one for sure), gather useful info and also so as to not ask irrelevant or already answered questions (...

    Review by 'Marteaux' on item 'Philips SHP9500'

    Here is my review of the Philips SHP 9500S, a now discontinued but still widely available over ear open headphone. It is my first review ever, so please bear with it’s quirks and limitations. I am approaching my 50’s. I have owned many ear phones / head phones over the years. I studied and...

    Philips SHP9500 Discussion Thread

    Thank,s. I kind of regret half of what I wrote... fearing it's not clear enough, or somewhat misleading. I'm a bit of a maniac for these things. I might just do like you, and use this post as a draft. I like these headphones enough for that.

    Philips SHP9500 Discussion Thread

    Well, could not help but chime in.   Got them a few days ago for US 60$ (Ca 80$).    This thread played a good part in my decision. Quite happy I did not over expect after reading masses of impressions, including a few and far apart fairly negative ones. I was ready to take advantage of...

    Fostex TE-05 Japanese Price, Release Date Announced

    Very happy you're enjoying them. It is still my favorite hear/head-phones, but then again I'm not that experienced and do not own that many head/ear phones. Got mine replaced because of faulty cable (intermitent sound in one ear). New one has somewhat better cable : same size and finish, but has...

    Fostex TE-05 Japanese Price, Release Date Announced

    Can not compare to those since I do not own them. IM-02 has good reviews.To me TE 05 has rather nice sub bass, there when needed, not too much, but I can "feel it" at times. Mid bass punchy, very nice mids and highs. They sound more complete sonically tham my other IEM's and over ears I own (RHA...

    Fostex TE-05 Japanese Price, Release Date Announced

    Been listening to mine for 7 month now. MMX connectors were a problem from the onset. If I move to much, sound jitters or cuts in one ear. Cable itself is fine so far: light, on the short side, but fine. As for the sound interruption, it never got worst. Situation gets much better after...

    Fostex TE-05 Japanese Price, Release Date Announced

    Got them from Headphone bar, at that discount. I did not get that it was a final sale on the site. Maybe it was, but i certainly don't intend to return them. I actually feel I got a good deal, I am really happy, but can not compare them to SE 215. I have RHA 750 though. I find the TE 05 better...
