Odd pairing of issues, I know. I have a pair of A161Ps (which I am really enjoying - burn-in made a HUGE difference). I am about to go on a trans-Atlantic flight, and from previous experiences would low impedance headphones, I know that the lowest volume setting on an in-flight entertainment...

I'm looking for a new set of IEMs to use with my phone, laptop, and occassionally, my Sansa Clip. Here are the priorities: Comfort - I'm envisioning something like the Westone UM1, which is the most comfortable set I've owned (I used the tri-flanges modded to bi-flanges). Bullet style always...

Hi all,   I first came here about 10 years ago, been through the KSC-35s, 2 pairs of Westone UM1s, the NuForce NE-7ms, and most recently, Munitio Nines. The Nines won't stay in my ears anymore, which totally infuriates me. They weren't the greatest anyway, so reason to upgrade! I need...

Every time I think I'm done here, I come crawling back...   My NE-7M's came apart two days ago. I thought I was going to get something cheaper (<$100) because I lose or break all my phones (KSC-35, 2x UM1s, NE-7M), but obviously I still have the bug.   I primarily listen to all manner of...

I've had my IEM's for a few weeks, and they sound great. Enter the problem: At work, I have a rolling chair on a plastic mat. When I plug my headphones into my desktop speakers, if I lift my feet off the mat, it generates static noise in my headphones. At least I thought it was noise, until I...

Hey all. I'm looking for a new set of IEM's, but it seems like there are a ton of new entrants since I last looked. I listen to all forms of music, with near equal frequency. I need something for portable use to drown out the horrors that are conversations on public transit. I keep seeing...

Hi all, This year, I have lost a Cowon X5L and D2 (and two pairs of UM1s). Yay for me. Anyways, after taking the middle ground with the D2, I've decided I should get separate players for the gym and everyday life. Both players need to have good codec support (I have a poor, mishmashed...

Hey all, I had a X5L, which I loved, until I dropped it so many times the battery stopped working, the left channel on the headphone jack stopped working, and it was stolen (or I just plain lost it). Now, I would like to get a flash based player. I have a pair of UM1s that will be the...

Hey all, I haven't been to this forum in a long time. That's because I had bought the UM1's and loved them. Unfortunately, I lost them (along with my iAudio X5L) and need some new ones STAT. I'm looking to spend ~$100, and I definitely want IEMs again. I'll be using them primarily for...

I just got the iAudio X5L, which is freakin' awesome, btw. I use it for commuting and in the gym (I'm a total gym rat). However, the included earbuds constantly fall out, and aren't that great to begin with. I was planning on getting some IEMs (UM-1, Super.fi 3, ES2), but I realized other phones...

Obviously not similar, but I have yet to decide if I want open or closed. It'll partly depend on how well the DT231 performs comparitively. This is my first step from the KSC35's, but I've read about tons of headphones. Mostly portable use to go with potentially a Creative Zen Touch, and my...

Just wanted to thank anyone who wasted time helping me choose the KSC-35. I finally got them from Headroom, and they are awesome! Only problem is, soon I won't be able to settle for less... On my way to becoming a full fledged audiophile

Finally, my trashy sony headphones broke so I have a reason to buy new phones. I mostly just my headphones for portable use, a little for the computer and stationary use, but not nearly as much as travel. Being as I don't use my headphones all that much anyway, I don't want anything expensive...

Are there any good radio shack 'phones for 30 bucks or less? I saw the old post about the pro 35. I was thinking of getting the ksc 35, but I would rather get them at a local store, and local stores don't carry them. I heard something from neruda, I believe, that they carry a model called the...
