Oh. I might try this out, as I know someone who lives in the US. Although it probably will be a review about the PX100, as I can't find any ATH-ES7. Oh well. I'll put all my strength and power into this review I also have a question: When does this contest end?

I was wondering when this would finally show up. Judging from looks only: it's impressive. Especially that 4-pin XLR-plug, looks quite nice. (It's not the first balanced portable amp, though : tried OJI portable balanced amp but .. - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio)

So yesterday I received my HF5. I wanted to listen for a day, so I could adjust to the sound signature (mental burn-in ). When I received them, it looked nice. But because I've paid €170 to get them, I definitely was having buyers remorse. I kept thinking: it might have been a better idea to...

So the HF5's arrived at my door. €115+15 shipping costs. but they asked €40 import tax. I didn't have any cash money, so they'll deliver on another day. Etymotic won't refund it, right?

I remember there was someone who has used the Sennheiser HD280 pads. Wait, I'll look up the thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/akg...padded-342493/

Nice, this is a very impressive impression of the iQube v2. It definitely made me consider the iQube, although the price is very steep. I agree with the 'add an optical input to the iQube DAC'-comment. It would make the iQube more versatile and unleash its full potential, idd.

Well, I was thinking of buying the UM3X or ER4P, but I ended up buying a HF5. I bought one, 1 hour ago.

Oh, if you didn't know, there will be a revised version of the PFE, very soon. So you could reconsider the PFE, indeed.

I had the same problem. But I just solved it by buying the HF5. I've bought the HF5 5 minutes ago.

I was just wondering: the ER4P would need an amp to shine, right? So, as I'm trying to decide between the UM3X and the ER4P, I was thinking: The ER4P + iBasso T3/T4 + bass boost on T3/T4 activated, how would it compare to the UM3X? They are about the same price, so I was wondering.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but Westone will release a limited-edition of the W3 on the 3rd of November: Westone 3 Limited Edition - Westone There are only 333 W3's, so get them while you can

Oh, there's this too: FOR ETYMOTIC ER4 IN-EARPHONE CABLE ADAPTOR - P - eBay (item 300345589603 end time Nov-05-09 19:07:59 PST)

Thank you very much for this comparison, it definitely has helped me Edit: Well, it didn't really help me, but now, I feel like I know a bit more than before I've read your comparison.
