So for the second time the cables have failed, so I am looking for a replacement cable. I messaged the place where I bought them,who are Sennheiser's importers, and they said it'd cost 50€-60€ for the official cable. Nope. For that price I might as well get better ones that don't fail so often...

I'm a total newbie so help me out. I would be buying XB1000s and I was thinking getting the FiiO E11 with it (315€ all together, say if overpriced). I would be using them from my iPhone and desktop. But I've heard that they (1000) don't really need amping but then again I've heard that they do...

Hi everyone. I'm new to here and the whole "HiFi" stuff so be gentle with me.    I have at the moment iPhone 4 and Sony MDR-XB20EX IEMs. I started wanting more bass for the times I listen to music at home. But when I went to store to listen how the 700s would sound (I can't test 1000 model due...
