I TOTALLY get his reasoning. I change cables and now i'm in that position of having to have mine fixed since the cable won't stay in securely.:angry::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:

Here's the link to the Groupon deal for the IEMs I mentioned.  It doesn't say specifically enginereed for iPhone.  It says "smartphones".  I don't have an Android phone to test out for you.  Hope this helps! Chris   http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-iluv-fitactive-sports-earphones

I don't have the headphones with me today of all days BUT I am pretty sure they were marketed to work with iPhone and Android devices.  I have an iPhone so I can't attest to first hand knowledge that they do in fact work with Android phones.  Until I get home to see the package, I can't give you...

Wait now I'm confused as to what you are looking for.  There are a LOT of IEMs out there now that have inline controls for volume, fast forward, rewind, and pause.  So are you looking for IEMs that have those controls or ........  For example, I just got a set of IEMs off of Groupon for $10 that...

Quote: Yup Qusp.  I have several cables from him and all TOP notch quality and custom built to order, i.e. length, right angle, left angle, type of wire, type of plug.  Totally has my faith and recommendation for ANY needs that I have as far as LODs and cables.  Pics of mine coming soon.

PLEASE don't flame me for the dumb questions to follow.  LOL  I'm more well versed in the portable world than I am the home audio world.  So here's what I am looking for - a new receiver for my house.  Here is the equipment I have to hook up to the receiver:   SPEAKERS Pair of Orb...

Quote: In the US its used to put on shelves so glassware does not chip or break.  It's soft and slightly sticky so it stays in place as do glasses when placed upon it.  I just found a product that I am testing out this weekend which you pour onto the surface of your device.  It dries to a...

Here's a link to look at the pictures.  What I do is find a product that appeals to me and then take the make and model to amazon.com and search for it there.  On their site you can read all the reviews left by people who have purchased and used the item to see what their opinions are.  Helps to...

If you know what Bose speakers sound like, I think they make a portable bluetooth speaker under $200.  Logitech as well.  A good source to use to shop, ironically, is the Apple store.  They carry many portable speaker brands, most of good to high quality.

Quote: Research the DYI area.  There are plenty of tinkerers and tailors that could help you out.

Here FTFY with a Rockin set of headphones!   SEE.  I TOLD YOU THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.  NOW YOU HAVE EVERYONE JEALOUS OF WHAT YOU BUILT THAT THEY DON"T HAVE.

Quote: Don't worry.  They are just messing with you.  There is nothing wrong or illegal about your post.  The fact your rig was built on "on sale", "used" or "refubbed" items makes it qualify for "budget rig" worthiness.  Don't sweat it dude and don't take it personally!!!!!!!!!!!

If Jakarta is too far, then maybe Paul Graham will have the meet instead.  He's in the UK AND he's got hot rods to show off.  Drifting and Listening at Paul's place!!!!!!   Paul, you in????

Can I ask a dumb question - why the need for your setup to have NO amp.  There are some of the best sounding portable amps out on the market that are way smaller than the DAP you are considering.  Also, you can find many people here on head-fi that make custom cables and LODs to keep the...

Quote: Let me ask a boobish question but what are the round nubs on the backs of your amps?  Are those just for desktop mounting or.........  And also, please pm with what other types of talents your girlfriend has for customizing as I have an idea and project in mind that she may be most...

We should have a Head-Fi Meet and Swap at Rudi's house!!!!  Test out all the gear that none of us can afford and only dream of buying.   You in Rudi??!!!!!!!    

Groupon has UE 200 headphones with phone controls on the cord for $13 in 3 colors.

From my experience, and I have had plenty with JH customer service, I have not once had a rude or even delayed response from Brittany or anyone else there.  They are not a big company.  I think they are less than 20 employees.  My emails and questions have always been responded too within 24...

@buttuglyjeff and your electric bill to charge and run that balanced rig runs about what a month.  LOL  TSA would NEVER let you threw security carrying that rig without a LOT of explaining and demonstrating.  Otherwise, nice rig!!!

I'm going to agree with the Attorney.  More expensive does equal better but that doesn't mean "better" is what you will like.  All of this audiophile stuff is hugely dependent on personal tast and preference.  If it wasn't, this website would have put Apple out of business years ago for "poor...

Same chips used by Apple so every Apple product is on par with this but at a significantly lower price.

I can't imagine listening to any of my portable DAP's unamped for long periods of time, especially on the train commuting.  I listen to my Touch and occassionally my Nano 7 unamped in the office where I'm not really concerned so much about the best sound.  Usually I'm listening to satellie radio...

Nano (Any generation) and the RSA Shadow fits into my pocket everyday and has for the past 6 years.  I use a Nano gen 4 or 5 because I like the tactile buttons to fast forward from song to song.  Recently tried using the Nano 7 but with the need for the Apple adaptor, it doesn't make it to...

I have contacted a company that appears to have a product that fits what I have in mind of doing.  I will post their comments and product recommendations when I get their response to my inquiry.  By the product description, this sounds like it could be a fun thing to try out and even solve a...

This might be the wrong area to start this thread but here it goes any way.  I was thinking last night (bad idea usually) about finding a silicone putty/resin that could be used to apply a coat to a dap or an amp as protection.  Then having the ability to peel it off or change it at will without...
