Thanks for the reply. I'm back "home" for winter break so I'm away from my primary desktop, but yeah, I do believe these will perform better when I get back to school and play 'em EQ'd. Like I said I can tell they have the potential, I'm just disappointed because other reviews convinced me...

Can someone chime in on this? I've had my eyes on these headphones for a couple years now and finally pulled the plug on them for Christmas – to an enormous letdown. I was under the impression that these were headphones ruthlessly catered to bass, and I was quite surprised to find the supposedly...

I recently got a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-CKS70s (from the "Solid Bass" line) and they are fantastic (a little above your budget), however I also have a pair of MEElectronics M9s and they are definitely boomier at the cost of refinement, but considering their differing price points it's...

It's a fantastic little amp, but I hate the fact that it feels like I'm snapping/breaking the back plate off when I'm removing it.

Hell yeah. Hope these sound alright, was lookin' at the PRO700MK2s for a while but just couldn't get myself to shell out the dough for some reason.

Not sure if these headphones can be had for cheaper, but Walmart has the MEElectronics SP51s for $39.99 ($59.99 on the MEElectronics official site).   http://www.walmart.com/ip/MEElectronics-SP51-Sound-Preference-In-Ear-Headphones-with-Sound-Tuning/16563332   The cheapest shipping option...

... You should've made this thread AFTER it came out, people are just going to hold random conversations and bloat the thread if that's what you were trying to avoid from the other "main" ZO thread.

Awesome, thanks ClieOS.

  Picked up an E11 'cause I couldn't wait on the ZO2 and it seemed like it was gonna get a price bump. The E11 sounds fantastic, shoutout to Micca Store for the free extra battery and AC charger deal they're doin'. Do have a question, though, is it recommended to use the E11 all the way until...

V2 better drop soon, I put money aside for it but I regretfully must admit I've been looking into other things to spend the dough on. (EDIT) Any ZOwners have the JDS Labs cMoyBB or the FiiO E6 who can give a little comparison?

Quote: Sounds like you listen to Limewire-downloaded, DJ-tagged, 48kbps songs. In which case, no.   If you actually listen to high-quality recordings, why wouldn't you notice as many small details as the rockheads? You say that like hip hop is some inferior genre of music with no...

PDO TopSkin     This case with Grantwood Technology screen protectors.   I'm not a clumsy individual and never drop anything I deem important to me such as my iPod or my phone so I didn't go for a drop-proof hard case. What I did want, though, was a case that covered the scroll...

You tease...
