Alright, I'm sitting here working on an old pair of Medusa 5.1 gaming headphones (they're used for gaming, dammit -- I know their sound quality isn't great, but the positioning allows me to pick the angle of a hunter from across the map) which has lost the front right speaker. Here's my problem...

OK, let me get this straight. Suggestions so far, with prices, are: ER6i -- $70 RE-2 (Whose? What is this?) with FiiO e5 amp -- $50 (I guess phones are $35?) Shure E4c/SLC4W -- $150, not a likely purchase NuForce NE-8 -- $70 NuForce NE-7M -- $50 AL UHP336 -- $35 Vsonic RO2 Pro II -- $70...

Haha, I haven't forgotten about this thread, but I don't sleep much as is right now. Next weekend I'll hopefully have some time... Also, you might consider the ending cheesy, but it was the contrasting resolution which perhaps embodied the political element of movie. It was also necessary to...
