Haven't seen Susan Tedeschi mentioned yet. Her stuff from her band is great, but her vocals with summertime band/project (with husband Derek Trucks) Soul Stew Revival are incredible. I think the style of music fits her voice even better then her music with her band. In addition, my...

I have a question concerning the warranty for the W3's. I purchased my pair from FC, and I have been receiving followup emails concerning extending the warranty by purchase a Square Trade warranty(?). I am not one to usually purchase extended warranty's, but I am wondering if there are...

Hope you don't mind if I jump in here. I have just recently purchased the W3's and have spent some hours this weekend doing an extensive/comparative listening. Since I only have one other iem for comparison (Atrios M5 v1.0), they became the "other" iem for my comparison/evaluations versus the...

Mailman delivered my W3's Friday afternoon, but I had too many errands to run after work to sit down and enjoy them. Sometime today, I will sit and do an extended listening to them with the X5L. Hopefully, I will be as blown away as "most" everyone else who has tried them. More to come later...

Still waiting for my delivery from Mike at FreqCity. Hoping to have a great surprise when I get home from work. Then I will spend the whole weekend with them. I only have the Olives and the tips supplied with the W3's to work with. I will be interested to hear what others have found to work best...

Well, I haven't been around much since my last purchases of the Atrios and Cowon X5L. Then a week ago, I stopped by and immediately got caught up in the W3 hysteria. Now, I am the proud owner of a "soon to be received" set of W3's. Got the 10% Ebay coupon coupled with 30% MCashback, so I...

Eagles - Hell Freezes Over soon to be followed by The Outlaws debut album.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged. Lonely Stranger, and the strings and key are phenomenal.

Can you tell me what you think the durability will be of the Ety foamies, versus the FS foamies? While I was ok with the FS foamies, they certainly did not have the lifespan that I am experiencing with Shure olives. If the Ety foamies have similar lifespan, then I would certainly like to try...

I also had a Creative Zen V+ that sounded very good. Then I purchased a used Cowon X5L, and the difference in sound IMO was significant. The X5L is really a fantastic player, with lots of power. But the sound signature is a bit bright, so it benefits from EQ'ing. The player comes with a number...

My vote is for the Atrio M5. Very warm sounding phone, with decent mid and highs. The sound signature changes after some pink noise break in period (for me about 70+ hours). Found them online through an authorized dealer (roaddogonline) for 139 delivered. Add in some Shure olives, and you are...

Still trying to decide if I should Rockbox. Watch a thread started here by LordEarl on this exact topic. I do have a question that someone might know the answer to. If I only use FLAC files onthe X5L, will the battery life be lessened because of the processing that needs to take place on...

Quote: Originally Posted by grommal It's the tips that make the difference. On my Atrios, I've used the Atrio foamies, Shure black olive foamies, and the Atrio silicone bi-flanges. The flanges are the easiest to insert and remove, hands down. I just pop them in, with no adjusting, no...
