Floyd Rose Hi-Fi Headphones
I found these babies at a local store here in Mexico City. They retail for around 200 dollars, but they go for around 130 bucks in the U.S. Fed by my Sony NWZ X1050 they sound nice and pretty clear. Good bass. I think they make a very good set of Rock cans. Anybody has opinions on these? And by...- Onix

Line out cable for walkman?
Hi guys, anybody knows who makes a good line out cable for walkman? I need to get one before I get my new amp. I would rather deal with someone in the US if possible, just to make things more expedite. Thanks.- Onix

So, which under $200 player would you buy right now?
I am considering a new player, or perhaps a DAC to use with my Windows tablet, but as you know options here in Mexico are somewhat limited. I am not going to mention any specific players that have caught my interest, since I would really like to know what would you guys get right now, if you had...- Onix

Guys, I just dropped my XBA-2 in a cup of chocolate
Yes. I suck. It's the first time something like this happens to me in maybe 40 years of can and buds usage. So I guess its not so bad a record. So, what do I do now. One of the buds went basically in the line between the foam and the chocolate. I realized it when it fell and took it out...- Onix

Got a cheap PCDP, and I like it very much
I got this Memorex PCDP yesterday, a refurb, at a price of around 3 dollars. The thing works pretty well and I am loving it. Somehow, I find it more enjoyable than the Colorfly C3, more tridimentional and spacious, with more bass (I am feeding my Sennheisser CX 300II through the line out, as...- Onix

So, what is the next step after the Colorfly C3?
I have had the Colorfly C3, probably the last official sale of one in Mexico, for almost a year. And I am currently using the Sennheiser CX300II with them and I have to say the bass and details are nothing less than amazing sometimes. The CX300II have the green Sony earplugs instead the normal...- Onix

Keep my Colorfly or get a Fiio X3?
I am either getting some new headphones for my Colorfly C3, probably some Sennheiser or Sony, but for the same price I can get a Fiio X3. I am a listener of metal, classic and jazz and like a bass heavy but balanced sound and was wondering if the Fiio X3 can give me that. I am currently using...- Onix

Frustrated with Rockboxed Sansa Clip +
Hi, most folks here probably don't remember me, but I've been a headfier for a long time, left for a while and came back. And boy, when I came back nobody was into PCDPs anymore and it's all DAPs now. I have a Sony Walkman NWZ S764, but I use most of the time my phone, a Motorola (Nextel) i867w...- Onix

AKG K-55, not so bad, really....
Specially after getting an almost new pair for about ten dollars. I have to agree with all the previous comments about how they lack bass a bit and are a brigth set of cans. I used them with my Home Vibe and my PC and found them to be just a bit above any cheap sealed can I could get new for the...- Onix
