Bump? Thanks. :)    Btw, I'm talking about the 3rd generation Shuffle, not fourth.

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, but I figured there's no need for a new one, and people you'd probably redirect me to this thread.   What are your opinions on this versus? As on this thread, I've read people saying the Shuffle sounds better, others that the Clip + with Rockbox beats...

Thanks for the tips on comfort. However, comfort is not the ultimate goal. I am definetly looking for something more comfortable than the Alessandro's, but I can wear them from som time with no discomfort.

Maybe I should have posted this here. Can anyone give me some help on this thread, please? :)      http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/540662/something-different#post_7290961

Thanks for the input. Any other options I should consider?

Hey, everyone,   It was near the end of 2009 that, after some search and with the help of some people here, I got my first pair of decent headphones - Alessandro's MS1i. I liked them and I still do; they're great, especially for funk, groovy stuff and rock.   I am now thinking about...

M9 it is! Thanks. :) 

Good evening,   Finally ordered the M9. I e-mailed them and I got a 40% discount (it's a one time coupon, sorry). They were very nice and quick. For what I've read, they're great for the price.   Thank you very much for all the help, I hope I'll be as satisfied with these as I am with...

Thanks, that were the ones I saw, but they don't ship electronics outside of the UK.

Thank you very much. I haven't decided yet, but my options are now the M9 and the Hippo Pearl. There isn't much talk about the Hippo's around, so I'll probably get the M9. ;) 

The M9 are on 30$ again. The Metro.fi 170vi are slightly cheaper. Which one should I get?   Thank you. ;) 

Too bad, they don't ship outside of the UK.

Bump!   Has anyone else had experience with them?

If anyone ever finds this, I went for the Alessandro's MS1-i and I'm very satisfied. :) 

Update!   Now I stumbled with the Playaz N3. From what I've read, they're awsome for the price, and beat by far the M9 and the Hippo's.   I think I'm going for them, even with the horrible looks. Anyone?   Thanks a lot!
