Hi, does anyone know how the UM1 compares to the Sennheiser CX500 or IE6? I really liked those, and was wondering if i would like this. 

Hello, everyone. I looking for some on-ear headphones and was wondering how this headphones compared to others. I really like Sennheiser, so these seemed appealing.   Current Player: Sony Walkman Z- series    Music Type: Vocal, Pop, Rock, Soundtrack (instrumental)   Headphones I really...

"As of 1.2, ALAC/AAC have problems with their id3 tags showing up. Meaning all your .m4a songs will be stuffed into the Unknown Album and Unknown Artist folders. But this should get fixed in a release soon"   Thank you for your review, it was very informative. Does anyone know if this issue...

I highly recommend the Sony Walkman's. Their price point, design, UI, and sound quality is really great. The A series is just fantastic IMHO.

As far as I know, the big issue with the iPod Classic is the Hard Drive. The Hard Drive can fail if the iPod is extremely used or beaten down.  As a buyer, you are fairly protected by eBay and Paypal, so if you did get ripped off, you would get your money back. It would be a hassle though.  ...

Quote:   Thank you. I never really liked most Sony Headphones I tried, but after reading reviews, I expected the EX600/1000 to be different. I guess not. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) knows how the Klipsch X10 compare to the IE8s. I know that they are Klipsch's flagship and...

Just wanted to say thanks for all the replies. I'm probably going to pull the trigger on the IE8s then.

Hey Guys, thinking about getting this or MDR-EX600, and just had a few questions about them?   Do these IEM's have a similar sound signature compared to the HD598 or IE6? Also, how do they work for M/F vocals and classical music?   Value wise, would the MDR-EX600 be better?  ...

How do these IEM's work on Classical music + M/F vocals?

Hey Guys, time for new headphone / earbuds!.  Recommendations greatly appreciated.   Previous Favorite Headphone:  Sennheiser CX500, Sennheiser IE6 (my favorite so far, but lost them :(, and Koss Porta Pro. While I feel the porta pros don't sound as good as the Sennheisers, they are more...

Thank you, Ill post over there and look into your recommendations!

Thanks for all the replies. Its seems that e6 is cheap enough for me to take a gamble on. Ill report the results soon.

Recently, I purchased a Zune HD 16gb. While I love the UI and build of the zune, the volume feels far too weak. Previously, I was using a iPod Classic 5th generation + Koss Porta Pros, which, while sounding a bit muddy at times, were always loud enough using maybe less than a quarter of the...

Hey guys,                    I'm thinking about getting a Samsung Galaxy Player (SGP), but all of my music is in Apple Lossless (ALAC), MP3, WMA, and MPEG-4. Therefore, the stock SGP music app won't work. Does anyone know of any good Android Music Apps that will also support ALAC? All my music...

Does anyone know if the SGP can play Apple Lossless files with the stock music app?

Quote: All my Lossless files are in ALAC atm. Ill probably have to re-rip all my CDs, or convert all of them to FLAC. I tried using Freerip, but apparently it rips everything into 24bit flac which can't play on the J3.    

K Thanks You!

Thanks, that sucks.   Whats the easyist way to convert ALAC to FLAC

Thanks for all the response. I would definately go with the Cowon J3, but there is one thing standing in the way. I have heard people say that it plays .m4a files (aac) but does it play Apple Lossless files? If it did, it would be a no-brainer.

I wanted to convert from WAV to FLAC. If I did the original way though, i wouldn't lose any data, right?

I ripped all my CDs into Itunes using Apple lossless. If i change my import settings to WAV, make all the setting AUTO, itunes gives me the option to convert ALAC files into WAV files. If I do that, will I lose any quality + will the song still remain lossless. Do I have to change anything on...

Also, people claim the 4g itouch is analytical. Any truth to this?

It's not that I have anything against EQ and BBE, its just that I find myself constantly changing it on my old 3rd gen itouch (which just died) for every other song. Eventually, i just turned it off on my old itouch. Ive been reading alot of reviews on both the J3 and itouch, and some people are...

I know that everyone says that the Cowon J3 sounds really good, but I really don't want to use the BBE and all the tweaking and equalizer features. What would have the best sound, using Apple Lossless files, just straight out of the box and straight out the headphone jack. I'll be using...
