Fairly uninteresting, since there is fakes of pretty much every single low end IEM/earphone on ebay. :P

Anyone else saw this topic and thought "Qualia and R10"? Anyways, I guess they won't have them at best buy..

Before even considering any of those phones I would for sure get a new source. Using a soundcard (even a decent one such as what you have) as a source for phones such as Omega 2 and HP1000 would imo be completely ridiculous.

Guys, I checked under "package content" in the auction details, and it's pretty clear that he will get a pair of genuine AKG K324P and NOT a pair of fakes. What gives? ps. Don't tell me you seriously doubted if these were authentic. If you did, you should always check with someone else...

I can without any exaggeration say that I would rather not listen to music than listen with the ibuds. I think they are absolutely dreadful in every single way. It's hard for me to believe that people use the word "good" in relation to these fart cannons, but from what I quickly spotted reading...

Maybe the topic should be "Which cans ARE made in China?" instead. To add to lmilhan's list, Stax is made in Japan.

XENOPHOS, If you have like the Grado signature, then I would for sure go for the RS-1 and either a singlepower or a mapletree amp. Can be done for $1000-1300 used depending on how lucky you are. As for Fitz and the other, I don't see how my posts can be misinterpreted but this is what I...

That's all fine and dandy that you feel that way, but still I'd like to point out that he requested suggestions for a rig, not several repetitions of the tiresome "music first" cliché. Also don't twist my words, I never said buying music is sick, but that suggesting to spend nearly the...
