AKG K3003 High End 3 Way System Headphone
So, does anyone know of any retailers currently carrying the non-mic version for the akg k3003 (basically non i version) in North American and if possible Canada?- 88records

Senn ie800 vs Klipsch x11i
The ie800s are what I would suggest as well... It provides an above average bass while providing clear detail (most of the time at least) fitting your sonic preferences. Also I'm pretty sure the klipsch x11s probably won't come close to the performance of an ie800. I'm also not entirely sure...- 88records

AKG K3003 High End 3 Way System Headphone
Not sure if you've purchased your iems but I thought I'd chime in as a fellow Canadian, if you can get the shipper to use USPS you can avoid paying for duty or any taxes when they hand it over to Canada Post. I've purchased numerous things from computer parts to iems to headphones and if you use...- 88records

IEM for riding
Sorry to derail but isn't it extremely dangerous to use IEMs while riding a motorcycle...? I mean while using your IEM's you can't hear your surroundings and to me it just seems incredibly dangerous.- 88records

Parrot zik wireless alternative
I've previously owned both the Bose QC15 and the AE2 which is basically what the AE2W is based off of and really like the AE2. It's very light and the leather (or fake leather not sure) they use are very comfortable allowing you to use it for extended periods of time which would be great for you...- 88records

Parrot zik wireless alternative
The only pair of bluetooth headphones like the zik that I can think of are the Bose ae2w, but those don't have an active noise cancellation like the zik. If your willing to put up with wired solutions I'm sure you know of the bose qc15 and there are also on ear solutions such as the akg k495. ...- 88records

Sennheiser IE800 vs. Shure SE846: Which one is superior in terms of price?
I honestly can't recall too much simply because I demoed them at a store and its been a long time however I noticed that the soundstage on the IE800's were significantly larger. The SE846 also has a more forward presentation while I feel that the IE800's are more laid back and in addition the...- 88records

Sennheiser IE800 vs. Shure SE846: Which one is superior in terms of price?
I've heard both and own the IE800 and I personally enjoy the IE800's significantly more compared to the SE846. The bass and the subwoofer on the SE846 just adds bass whereas to me it feels like the IE800 incorporates its added bass into a fun dynamic sound signature. In certain songs it feels...- 88records

[Recommendations] Is there such a thing as hiss less portable amp?
That's interesting because I read through the Pico Slim thread as I was also very interested in the slim but alot of people are reporting hiss noise, some were reporting even louder hiss then the glacier in the thread. I was considering getting the O2 + ODac but compared to other amps/dac...- 88records

[Recommendations] Is there such a thing as hiss less portable amp?
I was dead set on apex glacier until I noticed some users were getting a bit of hiss noise some louder then others and for someone who sometimes listens to songs at lower volumes or have moments when nothings playing it really bothers me to have hiss noise. So are there any portable amps that...- 88records

IE 800 distortion issue
I haven't heard any distortions from my ie800s, even with tracks that aren't of the best of quality and despite the volume. But as mentioned above you could list the tracks and I'd be glad to give them a listen to see if I hear the same sort of distortion.- 88records
