Can anyone tell me how good of an isolation are you able to get on the Sensaphonices 2x-s or the UE-10 earphones? Are you still able to hear people talk when you have them in? How would you describe the isolation? I want to know if I have mine inserted all the way in correctly (I believe I do)...

How can you tell if you have them inserted correclty and have a good seal? It seems that I have them in all the way and inserted correctly. How good of isolation can I expect? Will you be able to hear people talk to you? Thanks Allan

I received my Sensaphonics 2x-s eaphones yesterday!! Yahoooooo..... I used to have the etymotic ER-4P earphones until I lost them on the way back from Sturgis The 2x-s are so much better. They are fuller, more musical and has more bass. And most importantly, they are 1000 times more...

I find nothing wrong with someone not wanting to sell to someone with a zero feedback but he should have said it in his auction. He says in his auction "I also reserve the right to use my discretion as to weather or not I will allow bids from users with particularly low feedback." but IMO he...

Is this to be expected or are these HF-1 headphones damaged? Please see pictures. Thanks Allan

These may be stupid questions so I ask for forgiveness in advance. Does the sound really change much when the HF-1 headphones are woodied? Do people just woody their HF-1 to make it look nicer? I can understand if you woodied the HF-1 and did the work yourself since it would be cheap...

I will be getting my Sensaphonics 2x-s earphones next week to use with my 5th generation iPod. I was thinking about buying a portable amp to use while I am outside the home and also buying Grado headphones (HF-1 or RS-1) to use with the same amp when at home. Does this make sense? 1. Will a...

Do people use the portable amps to listen to music from their computer or mainly from a portable device like a iPOD? If it is for a portable device, then do they carry the amp all around with them? Also, I see GRADO having the RA1 amp. This seems big to be carrying around so how do most...

Do many people use a DAC and do you really notice a difference? Thanks Allan
