    MEElectronics Thread!!!

    I got a pair of CC51's last week and I LOVE the way they sound. The bass is full and rich but well balance with the mids and highs. The clarity and resolution are surprisingly good for such an inexpensive headphone. My only complaint is the cord - it's absolute crap. The fit and finish of the...

    ATH-SJ5 Right channel gone

    I've had a pair of ATH-SJ5's for a couple months now and I love them. So much, in fact, that I've taken them pretty much everywhere and given 'em quite a beating. As a result of my carelessness, I believe, the right channel is now broken. I can remember numerous times where the cord was...

    USPS = The Devil (Help!)

    The thing is - there is no one single carrier that delivers to our home. We actually did start building report with one gentleman who seemed to be delivering our mail regularly - my roommate knows his name and they chatted from time to time. I don't see him very often anymore and I've seen...

    USPS = The Devil (Help!)

    Just filed a claim with USPS through the national HQ (1800USPS) and they told me that my local post office would contact me within 24 hours. I am now speaking to Amazon customer service (on hold) and they are putting in a request to ship a replacement for my missing item. My situation is...

    USPS = The Devil (Help!)

    Lately, I am having the entirely worst experiences with USPS. Our **** is always arriving late, being left out in the rain on our front porch (I live in an apartment in Chicago), and getting lost. The birthday card my mom sent me a few months ago (with a check in it) was lost. Over a period of...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now? [#6]

    Klaxons - The Bouncer Saw them on Monday - they opened with this song... and then played a too-short, disappointing set. It was still fun though.

    60+GB DAP's

    X5 looks pretty interesting. How exactly does it compare to the Zen V:M? One thing that I really like about my Zen Xtra is the "Selected Music" playlist feature - allowing you to "Add to list" any artist, album or song, then adjust it within the "Selected music" screen. On the Zune there is a...

    60+GB DAP's

    Well I bought a modded 80GB Zune from a gentleman here on Head-Fi and while I am enjoying it, I find the interface a little bit too simple (and lacking some features I enjoy on my Zen Xtra) and the battery life too short for my how I generally use a DAP. I really love my Zen Xtra 30GB and...

    Sennheiser CX 300 IEM (a personal review)

    Honestly, I'm a big fan of these IEM's. For the first couple days they sounded like crap, then I think they burned in and the sound evened out a lot. I had it on the "Vocal" eq preset on my DAP for awhile but now I don't even bother with that. They sound great - maybe not entirely "realistic"...

    KSC75 for $8.69 thru Amazon

    Perhaps not the most environmentally conscious business model... but goshdarn Americans just love excessive packaging and getting things fast fast fast! Quote: Originally Posted by Wmcmanus Why not? It's the total price that matters. If they want to play around (as a marketing...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now? [#6]

    Honestly, my only complaint with that song is the opening. The lyrics and strange sexuality are very intriguing, I agree. I listened to The Downward Spiral this morning and it always amazes me how blown away I feel by that album. "Hurt" is just sooo good! Right now I'm listening to Subtle...

    What's a good first Tool album?

    I started with Aenima, went to Lateralus, 10,000 Days, and finally Undertow. I think that's a good order. I think you should start with Aenima or Lateralus then work your way to Undertwo if you want some of the harder stuff or to 10,000 Days if you want some more "out-there" stuff. Really...
