The female portion of the jack (where the cable plugs into the earphone) came out of the housing of one side of the earphones. It looks like the female jack just needs to be glued or secured back into the earphone as well as ensuring the 2 conductors are connected from the jack to...

Does Left and Right Matter on Your Headphones? I've seen some posters on here claim it doesn't, even Sponsors (Vibes) posting that they can't tell a difference when L-R is reversed. I've always thought it DOES matter big time, and agree more with posts along the lines like the one I...

I have a D2, and I like it quite a bit. However, I'm still a *little* disappointed with its SQ. Don't get me wrong, it has very good SQ. However, to my ears, some of my older iRiver units sounded "better" in some respects. Please list what you think are the best flash memory mp3 players...

Are there any forums like Head-fi that specialize in portable sources? Yes, I know Head-fi has a source forum, but it usually has less than 1/8 of the number of visitors online as this headphone forum. Makes for much less interactive knowledge available overall. Does anyone know of a good...

http://cgi.ebay.com/Combo-Pack-Foam-...QQcmdZViewItem ?? Are these of a consistency more like Shure's new black foamies, or more like the yellow/orange Shure tips?

Please list your favorite great SQ workout/gym friendly IEM's (or could be earbuds) for under $200? Can these IEM's handle the gym environment?: Superfi 5's, E4, D-jays, Audio Technica ATH-CK7. Please let me know if I should remove any of these from consideration becaue they're not...

Does anyone else here listen to White Noise in order to help them sleep, study, block outside noise, etc? I just started doing this a month or so ago, it seems to help me focus a lot. I tried wearing headphones with this stuff, but I'd rather not wear anything when I'm in this mode. I was...

Is anyone aware of a way to mod PX100 headphones so they might approximate more of a sealed-cup headphone? (Like some replacement earpads from other headphones that fit and create a bit of a seal, etc?) I love the sound of these light little headphones. If only they didn't leak so much...

I'm trying to test a bunch of IEMs, but one thing I notice is almost zero stores have them on display to test out. You know, if I could just walk in 1 or 2 stores and test out like 6 IEMs with my portable setup and my favorite music, I could decide in a few hours which ones to buy. But as...

Dear iRiver, Please produce a flash-based mp3 player with a SDHD slot something just like Clix2 or X20 -- with an SDHD slot. I have been a faithful iRiver customer for years, but moved to Cowon because of one factor: they put an SDHD slot on their D2. But now, many are getting burned by...

I e-mailed Cowon's tech support a couple of questions yesterday. I wanted to make absolutely sure 4gb SD memory would work with the 2gb D2, since thats the only model I can get now in USA. I emailed their tech support 2 questions. I'll just put the Q & A verbatim below. Questions:1. What...

Sound quality is my main criteria. Flash-based - minimum 2gb. At this point, my 2 top contenders are Cowon's U3 and D2. D2 has slightly higher output to the headphones (74 mw vs 60 mw); but that doesn't necessarily mean it will have better sound. Any advice on which of these 2 have better...
