Has anyone tried out the Beats Studio Buds? Reviews have been dripping here and there the past few days, was curious if anyone has anything positive to say as well? It seems reviews floating around mentioned it's actually pretty good.

I'm very interested! Does the cable mysterious coil itself like the iBasso ones?

I already coil it around my fingers before storing it in my pelican case, but I move around a lot, so the cables tend to loosen and it becomes a slightly twirly mess after that.     I don't doubt the cables are of high quality. But seriously the tangles are annoying as heck, which is...

Hi, does anyone have better replacement cables to recommend? The ones from iBasso are kinda garbage, they tend to "twirl" by itself rather easily.

    http://www.digitalinnovations.com/products/the-nest-earbud-case-earphone-protector-winder/   Is anyone using this? I tried searching around and there isn't many comments on this. This looks really useful as I don't like bulky cases, but how does this deal with the bigger IEMs?

    ******, I went to try out the IT03 out of curiousity from this thread at a local shop today, and was blown away. I ended up walking out of the store with it. It's been a long time since I was blown away by an IEM. Metal music sounded so ****** awesome that I could not stop nodding my head...

Does the A2 work well without an amp? Like a smartphone source eg LG V20?

Aww, why are none of them IEMs?

Damn. Have you tried their other 2 more expensive models before? HP-TWF41 or HP-TWF31? I'm not sure if I will have enough time to try all 3 of them. I would like to expand my options too, I want something that I can drive with my LG V20 and still boomy enough for metal music. My benchmark is...

Just checking, is the Radius suitable for metal music? Just easy stuff like Blind Guardian, Within Temptation, stuff like that.

Well, I read some Japanese comments on them roughly via Google Translate, it seems that the build quality of their removable cable versions are kinda lacking. Only read 2-3 comments that mentioned that so I don't know if it's the norm.

I can't seem to find this NHR-31 you speak of, where is the site for it? Checked their site but found nothing...

I've been poisoned deeply for some reason by the looks of the Radius HP-NHR21. I'm flying over to a country next week and there are retailers stocking them, so I'm taking the plunge. Found a store that had a demo unit for me to try out as well, wish me luck.

Bought a pair of the S1+ from my local distributor, one of the better Bluetooth headsets I've had the pleasure to listen to. I'll post more comments once I've gotten used to it, but right now I am really liking it.

Never for the life of me have I been able to get a good fit with the XBA series. It's kinda frustrating for me even after going through different eartips, but it always hurt after a while.

Quote: I've always had this unfortunate relation with physical buttons, so I prefer the whole less button driven interface. Works good enough for me.

I'm still hoping that one day, other DAP manufacturers will put some effort into their designs. I want my device to sound good, but I sure as hell do not want my device to look like a brick or have an interface from DOS days. Is it really that hard for Hifiman or other companies to create a...

Quote: The Z series was fortunately rather popular over here in Asia, but the F was even more popular thanks to its form factor.

Quote: It's unfortunate, but their Z series were not moving in sufficient volume. I don't blame them, people do not want a big player. Their F series is selling at a pretty good price point and the size is appealing.

Quote: The difference between ICS and GB is so significant. The addition of allowing the GPU to do more rendering is one of the best parts, and the new Sony CEO is doing things right by giving us an ICS update. If this was under the old management, we would be stuck with the inferior GB...

Quote: Listening to mostly metal music, ripped with -v0 myself from CDs. Power and symphonic metal, some folk metal. I can't hear the difference between flacs and MP3s so don't take my words too seriously. What I can tell you is that I am enjoying the music a lot more than with my old XBA-3...

I've been using the 3.Ai on my Z1070 for a few weeks now, absolutely love the synergy both items have with each other.

Quote: 1.7gb? That's all? Pshawww, you can fit that together with my entire 4 seasons of Adventure Time easily. That said, I hope Sony continues to release big screen media players. The F series is nice, but that's not what I am looking for, and Cowon isn't stepping up their game these days.

Quote: I'm using my Z as a video/music player despite already owning a 3G GTab 7.7. There are times you simply do not wish to lug a bigger device around. If only I can stick my 7.7 into my back pocket.
