So far, I've decided on the X5 (go big or go home, after all), but I'm still looking for cans and in-ears. Probably gonna end up picking a cheap set of buds up from Skullcandy with the rebate, as my current in-ears are **** tier, so even Skullcandy should be an upgrade. Other than that...

Bumping for...reasons

Bumping for additional pylons

The biggest thing about Skullcandy's cans is that they run expensive, and they don't have true replacements for the Aviators I returned. They used to, but apparently they've done away with the ROCNATION ones. If I HAD to spend the $75 on anything, I'd generally prefer it be a set of In-Ears from...

The X5 is sounding better and better, to be honest, though the EQ does seem like a bit of an annoyance. That said, I'd probably go with the X5 right off the bat, unless someone suggests a completely different player within that price range. Now all I need are the in-ear recommends

Bumping for great justice

Bumping for views

It's entirely possible that I'll be using the cans when commuting as well, so closed might be better. That, or the buds will be pulling double duty. As for "slightly warm", I...suppose? As I mentioned: not really all that deep into sound quality lingo, thought that does sound about right (I...

EDIT: On the advice of jodgey, I have shortened this considerably. I am looking for a full audio kit. Specifically: In-Ear Buds for the gym (these will be used mostly for rock, electronica, and potentially hip-hop) Over-The-Ear Cans (these will be used for all genres, but again, mostly...

Still got a problem with Foobar that I'm hoping you folks could help me out with. So, this is what I've got in the folder From my understanding of how to have Foobar split up a .cue file, I'm supposed to drag the .cue file in this folder into a new playlist, select all the files, hit...

Hey guys! Got a little issue with Foobar   The story is such: I used to just drag and drop .cue files into Foobar and they would automatically split into separate tracks. However, when I then tried to drag these tracks into the folder of my MP3 player, they remained .cue files, instead of the...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I have a question about Foobar2000 and .cue files The story is such: I used to just drag and drop .cue files into Foobar and they would automatically split into separate tracks. However, when I then tried to drag these tracks into the folder of my MP3...

@BillyBob - Most of the reason why I want to get a pair of travel cans is because from what I've heard, they generally provide better sound @ Trunks - Mostly rock. Some electronic stuff that requires nice bass

Bump

After a few months on hiatus, I'm back, but still as clueless as ever. Mostly starting this thread as a way to try to consolidate the information from threads I've made in the past. I'll be updating the received recommendations section with any recommendations that I find interesting. Without...

So, after recently losing an iPod Classic 120gb and remembering that these forums are literally THE best for all things audio, I pose this question to you fine folks: What would you recommend for a new portable player? A friend of mine's got me looking at the old Zune. The downside: new...

Any other opinions?

Quote: Fair enough. I'll take another look at them, see if I can try them on somewhere and see how they feel

Quote: As mentioned above, my problem with those is that they're on-ear, not over-the-ear

Quote: YES! ALL OF MY YES! Freaking LOVE that tune!

Could still use a few more suggestions, if anyone else would care to chime in

Quote:   Quote: Thanks for the recommends, I'll take a look at them when I get a bit more time. For now, though, I came across this little gem

Quote: While we're on the subject of great anime soundtracks, let me throw out a bit of a no-brainer into the fray  

Quote: Thank you for reminding me that I need to finish the .Hack series of games and anime. I used to buy the anime DVDs and games like clockwork back when they first came out xD That said, I observed that no one's posted anything from this gem of a series:

I realize this thread is pretty much one giant recomendations list to begin with, but would anyone care to recommend some tunes to a relative newbie of the jazz genre? I know I love the classics (Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Dave Brubeck [R.I.P]), but beyond that, the most jazz I've listened...
