Quote: ha! okay, you're right. i knew that as i typed my original response. yes, earplugs and earphones are completely different. this is always an ongoing discussion in the motorcycle forums. i typically do not listen to music, especially when commuting. BUT, taking a long trip requires...

Quote:   Quote: thanks for the help with the decision on the IEM's. So i guess putting earplugs in is a no-no too? And all those racing drivers with custom IEM's listening to their crew chiefs, oh the horror!   but then again, chances are you don't ride. or do you?

nobody has any helpful insight? those livewires posted above had some company issues from what i've read lately.

I've been wanting custom IEM's for some time now. specifically when I go for motorcycle rides (typical in ears fall out when putting helmet on and generally don't fit very well). My 325i's and DT770 Pro do just fine at home. So for my 30th birthday she said she's going to get me custom ones. ...

i have this issue myself. why is that? I've been a member for a while now and dont wanna be a noob (my small whine). What prompted all these changes?

when i tried to make a thread, it said something about me being new here. I havent been on since this new forum layout was introduced, (honestly, i dont like it) but why does my post have to go through an approval process?

Does anyone know who makes quality TRS Balanced cables? I've heard negative reviews on the Hosa brand, but dont know who to go with. These would be for my M Audio BX5's.   I also need the power cables, anyone know where I can find those as well?   Thanks!! -Henry     -ps, i like...

I've been jammin to my new 770 pros the past two weeks. literally sat down 10 mins ago and starting listening to ASOT with my 325i's.... and wow! i forgot how much they rock! the bass is so precise! i heart them soo much. get a pair, if you dont like them, they dont really lose value.

any tube amps that would mate well? (and possibly with grado 325i's as well)

notice they all say "no box". they just come in a bag straight from china. "NG" as my nissan engineers used to say

the creative zen aurvana sucks! it was my first iem purchase and it has me afraid to buy another pair! too bad they cant stuff my 325i's into iems

thank you thank you thank you!!!! I was going crazy w/out headfi. it also happens that my other fav sites are/were down as well; demonoid,tdiclub, and a special F1 torrent site.

speaking of consensus, what are the best amps to use with these? portable and desktop.

i though i heard most people talk crap about the RA-1 because of its crappy components.

mediamonkey is better for maintaining a large library and it supports flac

i think we should be caring more about cell phone radiation than headphone radiation

i'm having trouble keeping them on my head, they fall off very easily. is this common... or do i just have an abnormally small head

unless you are creating acoustic/vocal music... i didnt think the software was important.

i decided to get teh emu 0404usb. it's pretty good. now i gotta save for a nice tube amp. (i spend more time in front of the computer. but my pioneer elite dvd and yamaha htr5790 do a good job in the living room for now).

so... what sound cards, portable/desktop amps do you guys run with the 325i's?

i would like to hear some input on this as well. I just got my 325i's and i am about to go to fry's to peep some sound cards.

okay, so my ipod really sucks for these. is there a quality portable amp that is well matched to these cans?

WOW! i ordered my 325i's a week ago.... THEY'RE HERE. I own sr80's already. but wow! it's like my ears are having an orgasm. even holding them is nice! oh yeah, mine are #5695.
