WOOT! One of my 5EBs got destroyed awhile back and I've been pining for them - I saw a pair on ebay ending Christmas Day and I decided to make them mine! I'll have them in a week.

I like my SF5EBs from a Zune 30. Isn't that great? You give a nice list of 4 and no one picks from the list.

Yeah, once you think of it from Microsoft's perspective, then how it works makes sense: the mobile hardware is something you do when you aren't chained to your computer like you should be so you just take a piece of it with you.

I just got my 5 EBs and I am loving them. They can boom and they play clear. I need to listen more. The jump from stock buds to these makes me think that it can't happen twice. Can the music change that much by spending another $400?

I have a Sony EJ 1000. There are a number of nice things with that model - the EL remote, the charging stand, and optical out (via an optical cable put into the headphone jack). I got a pretty banged up one on ebay and I've filled in the scratches with automotive putty and now I am going to...

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. It was jarring and almost disturbing to have a (new) voice inside my head. I understand it is a bit harder with IEMs to get it out since there isn't the interaction with the rest of the external parts of the ear. So do people do that with crossfeeds or do other IEMs...

I was shuffling my music and suddenly Jack Johnson is singing INSIDE MY HEAD. If you got his latest, it was the track "All At Once". At first it starts out with guitar in one ear and it makes you think that you've busted one earbud. Then he is suddenly singing "All at once..." directly between...

Yes, follow the OP's links. My local stores still have them for p/u.

What would be the impact of using all surface mount components? I've had a hard time finding if the audiophiles here think they are good or bad for the sound.

Earlier in the posts, I think that they said that the EB couldn't be flipped because of the different shape for the dynamic driver. That said, it won't be the same shape as the 3s and 5pro so it seems to be its own case - either it fits or not unrelated to how the 3s and 5pro fit. Has there...

I wonder how the Sony A818 would compare to the Meizu M3 MusicCard in SQ? I mostly just want a small player that sounds great. I was using SizeEasy.com to check their sizes and they seem close.

If you are looking for Senn cx300, I'd stay away from ebay. I have no idea how you'd know if you have real ones. There are so many different packages and it seems like some sellers aren't even sending what they picture so you can't even go by that. I gave up.
