I have discussed it with her and she doesn’t want expensive 200$ ear buds. If I knew that the headphones I get for her will last a long time (like hd25-1's etc) then I would spend that kind of cash, but she listens to everything on the go and doesn't like in-ear's or large headphones. And...

Thanks, anyone else? I am steal leaning toward getting the 880's as I read to many posts with stories of pk2 having poor build quality and early failure. 

  Hi. My gf needs a new set of headphones, she prefers earbuds and listens to wide range of music so a balanced sound sig is preferred. Her source is Cowon J3, and she has been using the stock earbuds which she loved but the cable is failing. I want to get her a decent set of earbuds for about...

Quote:  I hated my HD25-1 for the first 2-3 month becouse if sibilance, and even today they sound slightly (or alot) sibilant on some songs...I heared it can take almost a year to get them to warm up and for the sibilance to go away...but Im amazed but how they can sound when you EQ them...

Got my J3 recently (yesterday) and been playing with it, I dont use IEM's but HD25-1's so hopefully I wont get flamed for posting my set up at the moment that Im enjoying. Anyone else can share their presets for HD25-1's?   80Hz -Wide-5 220Hz-Wide-2  780Hz-Wide-1   BBE-8...

Zune HD does FM quiet well, the clip has the FM option as well but no AM. Zune HD will do podcasts too. I suggest you read these reviews   Zune HD http://anythingbutipod.com/2009/10/zune-hd-review/#more-1026 Clip +...

Look at clip+ they are cheap and fairly durable as well as small, the screen is bright and easy to read and it has good SQ and EQ to boot (If you like rockbox you can mess with that too) but doesn't have any apps of flash media (I assume you want apps) The next option how ever much I hate it...

Hi. So my Zune HD got its jack damaged by my friend, so now it sounds all muffled ( i think the ground is messed up on it...) im debating spending money and trying to fix it, or just pick up a new player since I want more space for storage since 16gb is not cutting it any longer...I will...

never seen any IEM's like that, you might want to consider to look for IEM's that are closed (dont have any ports on the shell) The first one that comes to mind is the new Shure SE215's look quiet intersting as they have great build quality as well completetly sealed body. If the body is sealed...

Hmm. Sounds intresting, I need an IEM for use when Im tired of my HD25-1's and when working out.   @Flavio T how do these hold up to sweat and work out? I tend to do 30-40 minuet runs and need headphoens that can stay in as well as resist sweat fairly well. And do these have standard tips or...

Hopefully it will acept SDXC...I need a larger capacity player that can play FLAC...and hopefully last 20hrs doing so...

  Quote: HD25-1 as mentioned before sound balanced and dont over emphasize bass, as such alot of hip hop might sound bright or harsh as well as might not be boomy but the vocals will be extremely clear as well as u will hear alot of other details put into the songs normaly consumed by...

Hi. So im looking to start a new project soon and would like to build a small DAC, I would like it to be USB powerd, and decently small. I was looking at grubDAC and this kit ...
