I'm going to give the ATH-CKM500i a try and will purchase from ebay.  Is there much danger of this model being a fake like some of the other IEM's out there?  Are there any particular things I should look out for in the ebay listings?   I would love to have tried the newer ath-ckn50 or...

I have been to 3 or 4 different Staples and I don't think they carry the JBL 220's in-store near me. They have the 210 and the AKG K24p (or is it 26) clones. I did bring the coupon to a store and ordered it there at the Kiosk for home delivery and the in-store only coupon did work. I was a...

I prefer the PX100 over the PortaPros, both for sound and comfort. For my head, the small metal hook on the PortaPros would hit part of my ear at times and I didn't like that feeling. Also, the PortaPros seem to be tighter than the PX100. Maybe my head and ears are too big. I love the...

I've had wires at the headphone jack fray at from use before, but this is a problem at the individual earphone connection. Certainly not what I'd want from a $250 pair of phones upon initial use. I'll probably call UE today and see what they have to say.

I read in the other thread that someone had a dead earphone on their set and returned it for a good pair. Mine was out on 1 side right out of the package, too, but I squeezed the hard plastic flange area where the cable comes out of the headphone and it came on. I've since noticed either side...
