Explosions in the Sky

Fiio X3. Just when I planned on settling with my gear and saving up for a home setup.   But will it scrobble?   *subscribed*

You seem to be very picky about your player. I just happen to have an iPod cable back from 2007 - still functional, though it looks all yellow and beaten. And I had a USB cable that became loose after 2 months. But hey, who gives a damn.   Quote:   It's not a true line out - it's an...

You might like the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini, it's should begin shipping in November. I'm actually fed up looking for a descent 4" android myself.

  The day Muse pushed their new album took an unexpected turn.   Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! May HOPE be with you…  

Looks like I've almost worn out my current foam tips that came with my etys, which is unfortunate, because I'm residing in a place with the slowest postal service ever - Russia. Surprisingly I got my hands on some tips for the ER4 in a local store. Actually they are supposed to be Etymotics...

Some people here will tell you, that the Wolfson chip quality is a myth. Apple now puts hi-grade Cirrus chips in their devices. All my expensive professional (not audiophile) soundcards that I used had Cirrus chips. Wolfson sounds more warm and has a bass roll off some might not like, so it's...

Just blows me… Is it like some kind of marketing experiment? Does Dre want to prove that you can sell things for twice the price if you just put "Dis iz gud" on the box? 

Quote: Maybe the Mixr or the Pros can cut it, but other Beats won't. Even most modern hip-hop uses more advanced full melodic range sounds that Tours/Solos/Studios IMHO fail to deliver without giving a headache. The bass might be OK, but anything above 1000Hz will sound like a needle in the...

Ah, Sony. I just wonder how people call Apple overpriced when there is Sony. You can get a Cowon Z2 for that money. With microSD. And the infamous SQ.

Very interesting, I'll sign up to this thread…  Ups for doing such a brave move, though you could end up in sh!t.    I kinda think about the beats as my bad shameful past: I was just tangled by the look, my friends had them, and I poured out money on them, without thinking. First I had Solo...
