    AKG new headphone K545?

    Does anyone know where I might be able to buy the Apple version of the K545 cable?  Harman's support seemed to indicate they don't sell replacements separately from the headphones.  I see a bunch of cheap replacements around on places like eBay, but they get bad reviews.  I'd prefer to grab an...

    EarPods - Apples newest entry into IEM

    Quote: This is great information, thanks for the suggestions.  My preference would have been for at least an in-cord play/pause button if possible, since winters here in Chicago make working with the phone itself pretty cumbersome.  Unfortunately, I know options that include such a thing...

    Need help finding a suitable headphone

    Hello, I'm new here and this is my first post. I've been reading through the forum and was hoping I could solicit your help. There are so many headphones on the market, it's hard to find one that's suitable, and with limited demo options in town, I'm probably stuck doing a blind buy. I listen...
