Hi, so I've got a pair of Vsonic GR07 plugged straight into computer/ipod now, and also a pair of M50 which i use for gaming. I'm looking into getting a proper desktop rig as I have no proper amplifier and source right now. I've heard my friends AD700 and I think the presentation of it is...

Consider the Vsonic GR07, they really are excellent iems. They do pop well as the bass is controlled yet it still can hit hard when told so. It is also very portable, being lightweight, compact and quite well built. Only cons are the cable can be stiff at first and sibilance, once burned in is...

Anyone tried putting the bi-flanges included with the BRAINWAVZ M1? These are the best tips for me. I've gone from genuine green sony hybrids to stock biflange to stock large to these. These give the best sound for me as they dont have harsh treble and give good bass like the hybrids, yet they...

Earbuds are a good solution, try looking at the YUIN OK or PK series. Another good recommendation is the Sennheiser MX980. However, the lack of isolation can also mean that the sound quality is not good in loud environments.   Whenever I need to hear everything around me I use my iBuds, and...

I own both the m50 and the gr07. the gr07 is better than the m50's in terms of isolation and is enough for the bus, provided you're not sitting at the back of it.   Sound quality wise, the gr07 destroys the M50s in the highs and mids, offering that lots of clarity and detail, and has better...

You should always have a multimeter on hand when you're doing soldering. The tip of the jack, is the left channel. Right is the ring. Sleeve is ground. From this you should be able to find which wire so which as the colours don't always match up. However, ideally your job would be made many...

I'm hardly gentle with my stuff, but I've found iPods to have quite nice build quality. I don't see how these can fail as they're just a simple flash player

Very nice rig, br777   Here's my very, very portable rig:       I've got an iPod Touch 4G as well but I tend not to use it because it doesnt sound quite as nice as this. I'll be pairing the touch with a mini^3 soon so that hopefully will be better than my current source.  

The bluetooth device will most definitely reduce the sound quality. Also, the bluetooth adapter will also not have a proper line out to connect the FiiO E5 with.   If I were, you, I'd simply use the money not spent on the E5 and the bluetooth adapter to buy better iems. As for what IEMs...
