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...- Gizmotoy

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...- Gizmotoy

EarPods - Apples newest entry into IEM
I know I'm in the minority here, but I loved the old Apple Earbuds. Not because the sound was all that great, because it wasn't, but because I found them extremely comfortable and could wear them for hours on end without noticing. The new EarPods are another story.

Need help finding a suitable headphone
Hmm, thanks. I'll check those out. While they don't have iPod controls, it does have a removable cord with what appears to be a standard headphone port. With that I could substitute a remote cord from, for example, the Beats Solo. They are pretty pricey, though. I was hoping to keep it in the...- Gizmotoy

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...- Gizmotoy
