    Looking for Comfort -$50-60 max

    Well I want to know how comfortable the headphones mentioned in this thread are, but I was just making a comment about how my roommates cheap headphones are really comfortable... Although, I think the main thing that complicates the comfort level of headphones for me is the fact that I wear...

    Looking for Comfort -$50-60 max

    I guess I'm looking for at least two hours of comfort... I mean my roomate has a crappy pair of Sony MDR something from a few years back (I'm pretty sure they are 30 dollar Target or Kmart models) and they are more comfortable than the headphones mentioned here...

    Looking for Comfort -$50-60 max

    I don't have a big noggin... Tried on the Hp460's and I can imagine these things hurting after an hour or so. I had a pair of Sennheiser HD-202's and those things were painful. HD 280 is a little out of my price range. I'd like to hear more about the AT SJ5, they look impressive. Does...

Recently purchased a PX100 for my MP3 player mainly, and I have some Logitech Z230 (?) speakers hooked up to my Dell e1505 laptop.

    Replacement Cushions for PX100

    Hi, I've looked through some older posts about the PX100, but I cannot find any working links for some replacement cushions. The sennheiser direct store is down right now, and I've heard you can buy them from koss.com but I don't know which model is similar to the PX100's. Any other places I can...

    The successor to the PX200's... from Philips

    I've been waiting for the reviews on the SHL-9500, and I've been thinking about whether to buy the SHL-9500, PX100's or HP460's but I'm going to pull the trigger and get the SHL9500's. 16 dollars at buy.com, needed to get something else from there, and got 10 dollars off 30. Let's hope these are...

    Comfort of PX100's

    I'm wondering how comfortable PX100's are for an open ear headphone. I've narrowed it down to a PX100 or an HP460 for my portable situations. I have also heard good things about the SHL 9500, but no reviews yet? Any comments?

    Best Portable Headphones/Earphones

    Hi everyone. I just got a sweet new Sansa e270 mp3 player and I'm looking to upgrade to a better set of headphones/earphones. I know most people tend to use earphones with mp3 players, but I've heard the Sennhesier px100's are quite portable and can fold up. If it's practical to use the px100's...

    Best non-photo/video mp3 player

    I used to have a Rio Carbon 5gb before it was stolen, and I think I can settle for something around that capacity. Does anyone know much about the SanDisk Sansa e270? I'm pretty much digging everything about it, except the sound quality. Any other opinions?

    Best non-photo/video mp3 player

    The latter. As long as it has good battery life and a good layout I'd be okay with it. I probably want something bigger than 1 gb... probably more like a hard drive player like 20 gb. So far the players such as the Toshiba Gigabeat, the new Zen and the iPod all have crappy audio battery life...

    Websites with Zen Micro altoids case instructions?

    I have a Rio Carbon, and it's about a quarter of an inch too wide for an altoids box. Does anyone have any suggestions for other mint tin boxes? Are the Myntz ones the same size?
