    Anyone heard of a 'Concerto of the East'?

    I heard a brief interlude on the local radio, WABE, here in Atlanta but did not catch the composer. And by East I believe they were referring to Japan since it was seemingly influenced in melody from my 5 second snippet I caught. Classical if it wasn't apparent.

    UM2 repair costs?

    Looking for any first hand experience on costs to repair these. Had them for several years and the left earpiece seems to be dead (due to a wire is my best guess). Already called for RMA# just want to know what I can expect. TIA.

    Ipod to Predator why no Dock to mini USB?

    Instead of using something like the Lineout dock to mini why not use one of those sleek Apple mini docks and splice on a mini USB plug on the end? Whats always bugged me about the amped portable rigs are all these extra large plugs and wires. Why not shrink it down? If you had a lineout...

    Upgrayedd my IEMs...

    Howdy! I'd like your opinions on what I should do. I currently use and like my UM2's. Shaddap you! Which I listen to daily for hours out of my Hornet (preM) from my Mac and now my iPhone. Well the iPhone with its screwy headphone slot has me needing new phones to work with them. I tried an...

    Sitar Concerto, Rhaga's etc.

    IEMs Haters...

    Do so from the lofty perch of 100+ years of product development by hundreds (if not thousands) of companies and governments. From the amateur inventor to the coporate lab rat. With speaker development in parallel to help and guide. IEMs have been around what? maybe 20 years with a half dozen...

    Cell Phones and Portable Amps...

    Can we discuss this? I have a hornet and a Nokia 6030. And am being driven batty with the interference when the phone rings or the random checks out for signal etc. Anyone have this problem? Anyone do anything about it? Do you have a cellphone that doesn't seem to cause this problem? 5G...

    Dear Westone,

    Whats the deal with the pleather strappy on the headphone case? Also could you please make the cable length from the earpieces to the Y a little longer for people with fat faces such as me? And make the overall length like 12" more. See I'm also tall so when wearing the phones using my...

    Ever since I threw my headphones against the wal...

    I've been craving new cans. Don't worry they were just Sony DJ v-700s that had come to their end of term. instead of using my E3Cs everywhere I'm thinking of getting the Beyer DT-880s and upgrading my E3Cs to UM2s. The Beyer will see life at home playing games and listening to itunes on my...

    Panasonic Earbuds from late 80's

    So I'm interested in finding out the model number and more info on some Panasonic EArbuds from the late 80's (1987-89). These were fantastical sounding and cost around $150 at the time. They were really high end for the time and some of the first earbuds out. They had gold ends caps and...

    A light bulb has come on in my ears.

    My mediocre upgrades to my primary listening 'rig' AKA my computer have made me really happy and not totally hate my E3Cs as I have and will let me live longer without the Headphones and IEMs I really want. Also as I've been I drinking can say I'm ghlad I dont have a golden ear and do have...

    Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D: Recommend a recording

    Recommend me some cans to replace my MDR-V700 and Shure E3C

    So I either have too much bass or not enough with these 2 sets. The E3C are mated to my iPod which I dont mind much but the real problem is the MDRv700s. I've had them for nigh on to 4-5 years now without a problem. The pads are seriously cracked and after some very frustrating games and tossing...
