    Has anyone bought these?

    Sorry did not mean to dampen your mood... but I saw the description stated 16mm in diameter, which would seem to me to be those for earbuds. But I do hope it turn out to be what you hope for. Fingers crossed. Did you try to ask the seller before you bought? further check showed they do...

    Finally got the KM-92 from a local bookshop, my first woody! (Note: I did not buy online but from my local shop, the links below are for the physical description of the in-ear models only.) Answering my own queries in my earlier posts, it is different from the KM-928 which I did not see at...

    ANNOUNCEMENT: Emmeline "The Black Bird" SR-71A

    I've paid, and got my email reply. Thanks Ray, for your prompt service. Sure am looking forward to seeing mine. I wonder how many hours of burn in the SR-71A needs, and what is the battery life of it using alkalines/rechargeables? Cheers.

    Any buds other than yuins worth buying?

    I dunno about you, but I am really looking forward to the availability of Mylarone Petite and Crossroads HR-1 after I went to Uncle Wilson's Jaben store yesterday after work and tried out various ear buds and IEMs (eg. Bauxar M, Teac, Shures, ...etc) Mylarone Petite is a mini canal phones...

    most comfortable headphones

    The Sennheiser HD495 Silver is the most comfortable cans I use. I have been using mine for years... these days mostly for listening to television, DVD movies and casual music when I just want to relax. It feels weightless... just so light and no problems even when wearing glasses. Its...

    Revenge of the buds... New Crossroads earbuds.

    I just noticed this thread from Jaben's forum to share with y'all. The Revenge of the Buds... I believe these 2 HR-1 and HR-2 (as mentioned from a separate thread under the headphones and IEMsfrom the forum) are the end products of the prototype earbuds I tried during my last visit to...

    Quote: Originally Posted by pp312 I own both Cute Beyond and LD Mk V, but I doubt my opinion will be very helpful as I use HD650s. For what it's worth, I actually prefer the Cute Beyond. The LD is almost too neutral for the 650, making a rather bland, too-laid back combination. With...

    Sansa Clip? Opinions

    Yeah the Clip's great sounding and I am loving it with my Alessandro MS-1 amped with C&C XO. It beats the Apples, creatives and the other sansas IMHO. Nice that its price's rather affordable and so very portable with the useful clip. SQ good to amp with too!

    RSA **Predator** A review in stages ** With some "NEW" images on 1st and page 64 . . .

    Hi John, Lovely pics of the 2 amps. Great color combos there. So, in which color is yours? both of those? Lol. Btw, El Cheapo me is saving for one as I preferred the Predator sound as compared to a Pico and a few of the other amps I heard. Should've one soon enough... Cheers, Tris

    Review of Little Dot MKV Dual Mono Solid State Headphone Amplifier

    I am currently using a simple Home Rig of Denon CDP > Firestone's Cute Beyond > Beyer DT990 (250ohms, 2005ed). Though the Cute Beyond has got power aplenty, I do believe there are other budget amps which can offer better sound. Which led me to read all I could find about the MK V in head...

    Creative MuVo V100 or SanDisk Sansa Clip

    Clip beats the Muvo flat... here's why: I got a Sansa Clip 2 GB in black recently to replace my (RIP) Creative Muvo Vidz 1 GB and it turned out to be a wonderful choice. The SQ of the Clip was way better, even better than my Zen Vision M I feel. Most important is to update the sansa clip...

    REVIEW: GoVibe MAGNUM USB DAC/AMP

    Great review as expected, and I'm sure eager to hear how the final product will sound when it's out. When I heard a prototype of it quite a while ago, what struck me most was the very clear sounding treble, and the fun surprise is the ability to customise bass. Nice to know from your review...

    New amp prototype with bass adjustment control from Jaben.

    I sure look forward to reading your reviews, and to listen to the actual retail unit when it is out. By the way, to all who's interested, I've updated a valid link to the pics in the first post as they do not seem to show from the thread at Jaben forum now. Cheers.

    good headphones for glasses wearers?

    The most comfortable headphones used with glasses is my good old Sennheiser HD495 Silver. It is so comfortable and light that I sometimes forget I am wearing it. Mine's on its 2nd pair of ear pads and used mainly with my room television and dvd player.
