heh, I'm thinking of buying these also, and as I was checking them out on BestBuy, I found what appears to be the OP's Best Buy review of the DJ100s there.  Nice!  ;) ...

Is anyone aware of a source to buy repair parts for ATH-ES7 headphones? One channel is not working - zero sound out of one side. I've checked the wiring - that's not the problem as the other side still works fine when I swap the wires. I've isolated the problem down to the driver & driver...

They're selling out on Cowon's Korean Website at about $30 USD. Some reports indicate they could be new low priced high SQ contenders. http://iaudiophile.net/ Given Cowon's reputation for building great sounding players and my experience with their products, I'm very interested in these IEs...

The female metal receptacle that the cables plug into came out of the housing. I'm thinking I might be able to salvage them if I use just the correct glue & place it just right. Normally I wouldn't consider doing this, but the alternative is to trash them. Has anyone repaired their Superfi's...

Yes, the 90 day return policy at Costco is unbeatable. I return 2 brokien pair of V-moda vibes there at the 2.5 month mark when Costco was selling them. Hmmm...I guess no one has tried the Lennteks yet

I've become so accustomed to UE's great customer service. But I just called them and it was a huge change, it was like they didn't want to talk to me about a legitimate issue now. Did I just get the wrong rep or have others experienced this?

I heard that Lenntek made a cheaper (discontinued) model awhile back that was one of those cheap but surprisingly good sq models, so the company has potential. But I can't seem to find any decent reviews at all on these on the web. Strange. Perhaps they are too new? Anyone experienced these or...

Does anyone else out there actually prefer to listen to certain music on low-end, and/or vintage equipment (and this "vintage" equipment may have been low end in 1970, for example). I just had a desire to hear some vintage Jimi Hendrix this morning. I don't have that desire very often...

Is the interaction of quality headphones/iems and the human body kind of like drugs, in that our body quickly develops a tolerance to it, and it keeps taking more and more to give us that "high?" Anyone else had the experience that: you used to feel so great listening to your low-end...

This mod does improve the comfort of the Superfi.5's in my ear, and perhaps gives a better seal. But is SERIOUSLY REDUCES SQ, imho. With my test tracks: (some rock/classical/electro/house/r&b/jazz) and source (Cowon D2); it fails. Reasons: - IEMs become muddy. Are not muddy when I...

At the meet, I listened to the Westone 3's, UM2s, Superfi.5Pros, Triplefi.s -- I told myself I'd buy the best sounding pair. I listened to each one about 10 minutes, with various adjustments on my source. Personally, I like the Superfi.5Pros the best. Go figure. But I got 'em, and am...

My Superfi.5Pro cables are starting to irritate me also. They work fine in warm weather, but when it gets colder, the suck! You can actually feel this strange characteristic happen all in one afternoon, on a warm day: I live in SF. I'll put them on, on a warm afternoon perhaps around 4 pm...

Sometimes a well-spent $6 can have as big an effect on the end-sound coming into your ear as a $200 investment in an amp, etc. Just reporting: In light of recommendations made by posters here, I ordered both the Super.fi 5 foam tips and the biflanges and tried them on my V-Modas. To my...

V-Moda Vibes can be had on the web for $80. I love mine, for that price - good sound and very strong build - I use them for the gym, am too rough on them, and they've held up well. I've heard CX300 and eps630 are virtually the same unit with just a different brand name, so if you're going to...

Okay, I'm ready to spend $200 on a good pair of portable headphones. After a lot of research, it looks like I'm set on Senn HD25-1. Are there any other cans you recommend I look at prior to making this purchase? Thank you!

Can people who have the Shure black foamies please list which IEM's they will fit? The new Shure black foam tips sound like a great solution - reusable foamies with more durability than the yellow ones or the Complys. I know there are probably people on here with these Shure tips and several...

Does anyone know where to buy Shure black foam tips in a multi-size pack? I'm not sure if I should order S, M, or L, and it seems crazy to spend $45+ to order 3 packs to find the correct size...I wish they offered a multi-size trial pack somewhere?

Where is the best place(s) to buy the new Shure black foam tips in the USA? Also, is anyone aware of a Shure "fit-kit" that might include several sizes and styles of tips, including the black foamies? Thank you!
