This reply might be too late, but I got a pair of these as a Christmas gift (along with a pair of Noontec Zoro HDs, which makes for some interesting listening comparisons). What I've noticed so far:   -Comfort-wise, they're fine and I don't think they'll be hurting my ears much (if any at...

I've been to three different Ross stores in my area (Boise, ID and surrounding cities), and I think I've gotten pretty lucky overall. One store didn't have anything, but between the other two, I picked up 3 EB950s (2 for $20 each and the last one for about $10 because of an odd price match) and...

Quote: Some random Amazon seller has them new for $88. Not much feedback, but all positive except for one random neg that just says "N/A." As someone who's sold on Amazon before, I'd disregard that feedback because it doesn't actually give any info.

Quote: All of their phones have been pretty well reviewed. It's a shame that Woot doesn't have the new Zoro HDs though... doesn't seem like a "Noontec day" without Noontec's newest flagship product.

I recently got my own pair of Tracks and I haven't noticed any harshness. They have really nice highs, but never harsh or painful to listen to. Maybe it's a problem with your source?

Can anyone recommend some good IEMs for exercising under $50? Comfort and fit are more important than sound (although sound quality is still important), and bright colors would be nice as well. I'm buying them for my girlfriend, so sound signature is less important.

edit: I received an email back from Caloby tonight saying that they sold out of all the Zoro HDs they had, but they're hoping to get more in soon. I still didn't get a picture, but at least it's something.

edit: meant to post this in the deals thread because there are a lot of one deal a day-ish sites having good deals on the Zoro HDs right now

Nomorerack.com is also having a similar deal for the Zoro HDs, but both sites have really horrible reviews, sadly.

Has anyone taken the jump on the Zoro HDs from Caloby? I'm really interested but the site just makes me uneasy... Especially because the phones aren't listed anywhere on the front page of the website.

Any new impressions on these? I ordered a different pair but I might go with these instead if they're a good step up over the original Zoros.

is this site legit? There's seriously no reviews online anywhere.

edit: sorry for double post. Smartphone not so smart sometimes

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I find it really interesting that most early posters in this thread said that the Beats they auditioned were perfectly competent cans, but most likely not worth $350. That's in direct contradiction to the opinion on Beats here now. It'd be...

http://ughh.com/aiaiai-tracks-w-mic/AIAIAI5337HP   AIAIAI Tracks in Petrol Blue for $43.98. Shipped free with the free ship coupon on the checkout page. These have been extremely well reviewed, and they're some of the trendiest phones out there.

Does anyone know how the 70s and 80s compare to the Sony XBA-3? Refurbished XBA-3's can be had for $75 shipped right now, so they're all in a similar price range.

These are $35 new and shipped by a reputable seller on eBay right now. Worth it?

Bumping this. Does anyone else have input on these vs the HA-S500 or other budget cans (Philips CitiScape Downtown, Noontec Zoro, etc)?

Are these a good deal for $80 shipped? I'm looking for slick-looking headphones and these seem to fit the bill really well.

One more question. Does anyone here have experience with the Philips CitiScape Metro (or Shibuya) headphones? They're the little brother of the Downtowns. I like the look more, but I can't find hardly any reviews on them.

Quote: In that case, have you tried the JVC HA-S400? I want to know how it compares to the HA-S500 directly, and if it's worth twice the money. The S500 should be objectively better because it's the next step up, but that doesn't always end up being the case and I haven't been able to...

Quote:   I know sound is a very subjective thing. The reason I posted here is because I'm heavily considering the HA-S500 and I'm looking for people who've done head to head comparisons with the other cans on my list. Most of the phones on my list are well known as "giant killers" for...

Can anyone please give me reliable comparisons between the following phones:   JVC HA-S500 JVC HA-S400 (oddly enough, direct comparisons seem hard to find even though they're in the same line) Philips CitiScape Downtown Philips CitiScape Uptown Noontec Zoro Incipio F38/Fischer...

Can anyone shed some light onto the AKG 518 vs these? It's been asked a few times but I didn't see anyone answer it.
