you could get a mod-mic instead of the velcro to attach.   the mod-mic uses a magnetic clip + boom mic, should be right what you want there, as it's detachable, and the magnetic clip is discrete, also you can attach to multiple headphones and use the same boom mic.   Usually the issue with...

Pretty much. Just got mine this morning, all the way to Australia.   I did do some post-remorse thinking i should have bought the 4R's so i could have an in line mic, but i'm not too fussed at this point.

  for closed headsets, it becomes a bit more limiting, but that's OK.   Edit: thought about this a bit, as i was looking at getting a new phone for xmas, and earphones/IEM with a mic that will work with it.   the HD598 is a good choice too.   for portable use, you may enjoy a cheap IEM...

  the ATH-M50s are good, but they do have a limited soundstage for FPS games, they are better for music, but yeah, you could get more comfortable models. it is possible to stretch out the band if they clamp down too much, it makes them a lot more comfortable. it's tough to get a good sense for...

Quote: I also bought the ZEROs and reported that there were problems in the impressions RE-ZERO thread, and everyone who responded did make some pretty good observations which were great at the time. read through if you haven't already.    the thing i had to keep in mind is, i believe...

snufkin, who runs headphones.com.au, Headphonic, is fantastic with replies if you ask or present questions. the headphonic forums are typically better places to look though due to the catalogue being quite unique, i.e. i utterly and quickly recognised headphonic just from the selection of...

Quote: i can vouch for the RE-zero's on the train with an iphone. the isolation is fine. i listen to podcasts/audiobooks while heading to work/home on the train/ferry/bus, and with ~80% volume, it's easy to just listen, fall asleep and miss a stop, etc. not notice the stops, etc. its not...

  all of that turned out to be spot on. the provided medium flanges worked without much issue, and just wearing them around while on public transport, trains, buses, ferries, etc. the isolation has been great compared to the er6i's, without the intense discomfort or the trouble of using...

  tried these out yesterday after getting them in the mail on monday, and have been trying to see what they can do, etc. after about 20 hours on the 5G ipod, and a few more on the iphone while out and about, it seems to be improving in small degrees with the detail and response.   on my...

to be honest, i put my RE-ZERO order in before i saw anything of the TRRS balanced jack "debate", i think i just got caught in the 'NEW' / limited edition marquee rather than researching / reading for reviews.    at the minute, i want to actually see and listen to them, though after putting...
