Based in the reviews I read here I purchased the SR80i last July 2012.
I thought they were way to bright, or as someone else said "ice picks" in the ears.
I thought perhaps I needed an amp - and...
One channel of my Denon 250 pre-amp/amp set failed several times per listening session. So I bought the SMSL SA-98 in Hong Kong for a mere € 98,99 including transport. The trip from Hong Kong to...
Introduction
First, I’d like to thank the folks at HiSoundAudio for sending me a sample of the Wooduo 2 in ear monitors for review.
HiSoundAudio is a Chinese based headphone and earphone...
I ordered these when my Astrotec AM-90s finally bit the bullet. Liking them so far, however the Left side is cutting out possibly due to a short on the plug.
Messaged HiFiMan and hope I get...
Why another iem?
The Creative EP630 was my 'beater' pair of iems- ie, a pair I used for casual and rough use. It was no SQ king, but it served me very well- it was more than 5 years old...

to be honest i don't follow this thread until recently, and i don't think this thread deserves to be where Vanessa Carlton and Laura Marling music are shared. That is what I think, i don't think a popular place is where good music to be shared. But if you are to assume that it is the people that like certain music, not music that draws to people, then you are wrong. These music are made by special people, where as yes, music of a certain style does draws to certain people, and then somepoeple will never like it.
but just in case anyone likjes whatw i like, i have to say Vanessa cArlton
's heroes and thieve is hands down my favorite album of ALL UNIVERSE. and MY MANIC AND I is favorite song of all existence.
Delilah & Liam Bailey - Breathe // Live at Union Chapel
She's a capable singer, but I dislike her overly-stylized attempts to forcibly 'demonstrate' vocal dexterity. It just sounds extremely contrived. I consider it a 'disease' of modern Rn'B singers. Such a waste of underlying talent :-(
Thanks for the heads-up, though. This time it was a 'miss' for me, but there are plenty of other suggestions of yours in this thread which I do really like. It's all good; each to their own, etc.
I'm not necessarily a Heart fan but I do enjoy some of their stuff. If you're of my generation, this will harken back to days gone by and put a huge smile on your face. Note the dignitaries in the audience including Robert Plant nearly brought to tears of joy, Jimmie Page lovin' what he heard, The Prez & First Lady, Yo-Yo Ma groovin', and more...

I have to say, those Kennedy tribute concerts make me cringe - not on account of the performers, but on account of the 'hero worship' aspect of them (much like the 'Musicares' concerts).
However, it's a good performance by Heart, and on the subject of them, let's not forget that they've also performed with a favourite of this thread, by the name of Alison Krauss (and,of course, Alison has performed with Robert Plant, though I've disliked that particular collaboration ever since I bought the 'Raising Sand' album. It's actually the only Krauss album I won't listen to. Oh well...):
i know, i am not trying to make it that way... i just want to be chilled and laid back yet make a point, but not to force it even if it does not.
and i just checked what i said, i made 100% sense to those that are meant to read it and understand it
I found the point you made to be clear at-first-glance. However, conveniently sharing your beloved Vanessa in the very place you feel isn't deserving of, took away whatever you gained in making that point. Credibility, perhaps?
But, this is my view...and I welcome the conversation.

I went to go see Kaki King play, and she had Lady Lamb the Bee Keeper opening for her, someone that I had never heard before. I was jaw-dropped shocked that she was able to silence a room of chatting half drunk people by opening with acapella. I had never seen an opening act do that, and from someone relatively new and unknown, I have to say that i'm now a fan, and I'm going to her next show as well.
Live at Blues Alley is tremendous.
