Hi Folks, I know the SE210 owners haven't been so vocal yet (you must be out there), but I was wondering if anyone could help with a few comparisons. I recently went from a pair of E3c's (slightly defective) to im716's (too big for my canals) to UM1's, and now I'm finding that the UM1's don't...

The im716 tubes are a bit wider, especially at the tip. I was able to fit Shure gray soft flex-sleeves over them, but it was definitely a tighter fit than normal. Foamies with harder plastic tubing on the inside might be tougher still, but I didn't actually try it, so I couldn't say for sure...

The im716s are *great* if you don't have small ears, and if you can deal with the volume pod, which makes them heavier than they ought to be. For the former, using different tips helps some, and for the latter, you can mod the cable, or do what I do, and just loop them over my ears to better...

I once owned a Nomad Jukebox 2, but sold it last year, and can't do a direct comparison for you. I will say however that I have no complaints about the sound from the unit. I actually just played one of my favorite songs on the thing to confirm this statement for myself, and I heard a little...

I've been playing with mine for about a week. Overall, I'm satisfied considering what I paid, but I'm not blown away. Impressions: The battery life seems to be more than adequate, and frees up a lot of concern over charging every day, etc. The screen is beautiful, but less than useful...

Damn and drat, more money... Thanks for the advice!

I was going to ask that exact same question. I'd be upgrading from a MINT, and was wondering if it was worth the cost.

Everything makes sense now. Thanks for all of the help, folks!

What does it mean if there is a "+" and a "-" like so: Also, how can I find out what the wall wart is spitting out? The only place I saw +/- signs were on the side of the adaptaplug.

Thanks for the replies! Just one stupid question - how do I tell whether the polarities match or not?

I recently purchased a Panasonic SX500 from a fellow head-fi'er, and it came with a UK power adaptor. This is a problem, because I live in the US, and I don't have endless funds for batteries. I *do* however, have one of those nifty Radioshack universal adaptors. This one is rated for 3-12...

Great start on the FAQ. Just make sure it's very very sticky. One thing worth considering is a similar amp FAQ, unless you've already done it.

As the subject may imply, this is just a message of thanks to everyone who advised me in my headphone search. I successfully attached the beyer pads to my new (exchanged) V6s, and the comfort is incredible. Though they've only been burning in for a few hours, the sound is still great, and a...

I don't think there's a Sony store in the twin cities. Otherwise, I probably would take them there. I've already packaged up the phones, and addressed the box. I'm probably just going to take them to the post office on monday and cross my fingers. I appreciate the advice though.

I suppose I might be stuck exchanging them. I've recently found that there's a slight echo to the sound. I'm not sure if this is related to the cord issue or not, but it's fairly noticable in songs with distinct vocals. I don't suppose this is a flaw in the V6 design, is it?

I e-mailed etronics. This was their (abridged) response: "We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with your merchandise! ... All returns must be packed in the manufacturer's box and then placed in another shipping box (you can use the one you received with your order). We will...

Hi folks. I received my V6s from etronics.com a couple days ago. They sound wonderful, so my thanks to my advisors. I have a problem, though. Every time I jiggle the connector at the end of the cord a slight bit, I get a lot of static, with sound fuzzing in and out of each phone. Also, even when...

I appreciate the advice, Audio&Me. I would have gone with a better soundcard, but I don't expect to be upgrading my V6s for a fair while. (I plan to keep them for about 3 years before considering an upgrade, assuming they sound like I expect them to) Given that, I'd be wasting my money on a...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I just ordered an OEM card from newegg.com I pity my wallet...

I'm back with another ignorant question. As you might have guessed from the message header, I currently have a Creative Labs Live Value soundcard. I'm considering buying the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Opinions seem to be pretty conclusive that the Santa Cruz is a better card, but would it be worth...

Indeed it is. They appear to have shipped today.

I appreciate the warnings. With my present 495s (very open) I tend to listen at volumes where I can still clearly hear the outside world. Considering this is my usual comfort level, is it especially easy to misjudge the volume the v6s put out, or is this just a warning to not try to blast the...

Ha, tell me about it. This morning the windchill put temperatures below zero. Tons of fun walking to class. Etronics will supposedly have the phones here within a week, so the long wait begins. Does anyone happen to know if the V6s take long to burn in?
