Quote: $ 40 is a steal and hard to beat. The S4 runs to about $75 I think. I'll research about the Nuforce 700. Thanks for posting your thoughts and suggestions.

Quote: Strange. I just saw a gray one at our local Winner's, albeit in an opened box. It was the last one on clearance for 29.99. Yeah, the cable is as thin as the Zoro.

Quote: Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Btw, how much did you pay for it? 

Quote: You mean the Rio's? I cannot fathom why it commands a higher price than the Zoro's. Perhaps it does sound great but seem to have difficulty looking for reviews on these.

Quote: so that is CAD 20, all in right? did you order the one button?

Quote: I think more bass is a good thing since I find the Zoros lacking a bit in that department. I am surprised though that the Rios cost more than the Zoros. I own the Philips Underground and they sound great for the price I paid CAD 15. Only gripe is comfort as you need to fit the...

Interesting. I also got my Noontec the other day and I experienced some discomfort on my right ear. The pads are soft but it seems to press on my ear the wrong way. 

Quote: Thanks for the link, Aaron94.

Quote: By the way, where did you get your Vmoda cable and how much did it cost including tariffs/taxes and shipping? Thanks

Quote: Finally got my Zoro . I find the Zoro's lacking in isolation compared to the Downtowns. However, I prefer the Zoro's clarity and balance. It has a very neutral sound, which I love. The downtown has better bass though. That said, the Downtown offers a good value at CAD 40. If you can...

Sure thing. I reckon that it should arrive Tues next. Admittedly, I am excited to compare the two as well.
