Best In-Ear Monitor Recommendation for Athletes?
Hello, What are the best in-ear monitors for athletes? I'm looking to buy the best in-ear monitors for my nephew's 18th birthday. He races mountain bikes and marathons so I need something that will stand up to athletic rigor. I also want the best sounding headphones and I have a budget under...- davidhunternyc

Terrible experience with Sennheiser, do NOT buy from them
If you paid with a credit card, call the credit card company and cancel the transaction.- davidhunternyc

Can you share with us your comparative thoughts? Just reading this thread it seems as if the B&W PX has too many connection problems.- davidhunternyc

Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears
I thank all of you for your help. In the end I took a totally different direction. I inquired into the habits of my nephew. He is athletic and he races motorcycles, bicycles and races triathlons. In his down time he tinkers in the garage. Sound quality in a headphone is not his priority and he...- davidhunternyc

Sunglass-Fi, The Optics Info Thread
Thank you so much for your incite. Your comments are very helpful. I've been searching all over for answers and so far yours is the best yet. Perhaps you can write a detailed review comparing the hinge designs of Mykita, ic! berlin, and Lindberg and then post your review on Amazon and other...- davidhunternyc

Sunglass-Fi, The Optics Info Thread
Hello, I have been researching Mykita and ic! berlin glasses, specifically who has a better hinge design between these two companies. If you need tools to repair Mykita hinges isn't this overly complicated? Conversely, doesn't the simplicity of ic! berlin's hinges make them superior? I've been...- davidhunternyc

The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
I love your sober review. I live in NYC and I should go listen to them but I'm still on the fence like, nah, it's just another headphone. Well, it isn't and it is. Maybe I'm just jaded. Audio equipment never seems to jump through hoops. (Perhaps the Devialet Gold loudspeakers do, especially for...- davidhunternyc

Cowon Plenue P1
Call me crazy but many years ago I lost my iPod and Sennheiser IE8's in a taxi cab, never to be seen again. I have not replaced my portable music system since. Day after day I ride the subway to work. Clutched in my hands is the New York Times which has been my only source of distraction from my...- davidhunternyc

The Sennheiser Orpheus 2? A First Look At The Sennheiser HE-1 (The New Orpheus)
Whew. Thank you for your reassurance. Yes, there is a role in the world for plastics, for example, an artificial heart. High-End headphones? I doubt it. No matter what anyone says. Sure, there are different kinds of plastics. Sure, I hope someone proves me wrong. The Sennheiser HD800 doesn't...- davidhunternyc
