    Recommendations On an Inexpensive $10-$40 IEM with Preferably Semi-Flat Frequency Response?

    Vsonic VSD2S. I love mine and go to them when I want something more neutral. 35 bones.

    Thinking about getting a new IEM (Under $100)

    Necro-threading... I just ordered another Narmoo S1 after mine took a trip through the laundry. If you hurry there's one set left on Amazon  btw, now that I have a zillion hours on my Shures I do love them in a way I never thought I would and am considering starting a harassment campaign to...

    Best cheap IEM?

    For sleeping I don't want anything with deep insertion or that sticks out too far, or that costs much because I will trash them tossing and turning. I want light, cheap, and low-profile earbuds so I sleep with Apple EarPods and my iPod nano every night. I replace them about every 3 months but...

    Bluetooth hands free adapter for wired headphones

    I think you'd be better off finding some clip-on earphones with mic/remote cable than using one of those adapters. I'm betting on frustrating battery life issues and possibly low volume.

    In-ears that sound like AKG K701 or Q701

    Sony MDR-7550, it is neutral and detailed and has poor isolation due to its ported design. I think some people tape over the ports. Cable is long but replaceable.

    How comfortable is to "change" from IE Headphones (Sennheiser IE80) to Over the Ear Headphones (Beyerdynamic T51i)? Need some advice!

    You can buy a remote/mic cable for the IE80, the cable is removeable. Some full size cans are very comfortable. AKG K7XX are like wearing next to nothing. As far as wearing them everywhere, no thanks. They're huge open headphones. IEMs for out and about.

    Recommend any IEMs?

    T10i is way too bass heavy for what you're looking for. Vsonic VC1000 is another one to look at.

    Looking for a headphone and a portable amp

    If you're keen on the D1 take advantage of the audition. Bear in mind that the output impedance is high and will be undesirable if in the future you decide to pick up some more sensitive cans/IEMs, D1 outputs 12mw at 300 ohms. Magni 2 puts out 260mw at 300 ohms and has output impedance of less...

    Nothing easy without cost: network powerline adapters

    I would try something like this. http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-LC1200-Conditioner-Outlet/dp/B0000512LA/  Plug your PC into it but the powerline adapter will have to go straight into the wall or it will not work. What kind of throughput are you getting with your adapters? Western Digital...

    Looking for new ear buds...budget of $400

    Westone W30, Sony MDR-EX1000/7550/800st, maybe FIDUE A83. All can be had for under $300 a the moment with the exception of the EX1000.

    One is better than two? RE-400/GR07 All-Rounder? OR 2 Cheaper pairs

    RE-400 does not have a great reputation for durability I'm afraid. People who buy overlook that in light of its reputation for sounding great. I have seen people recommend those concerned with breaking them to just go ahead and buy two. I realize that would bust your budget but from your post I...

    Looking for a headphone and a portable amp

    D1 is a DAC and amp. I don't see published power output specs so I can't comment on if it can power the DT990's 250ohm load. I have heard praise for it but I never did any research on it because I never considered buying one. I'm sure you can find that info here or on youtube...

    Looking for a headphone and a portable amp

    DT990's are nice cans. I don't think you will regret it if you blow your budget on a desktop DAC and amp for them now. You can get a closeout Schiit Modi DAC for $79, Magni 2 for $99, usb and rca cables on Amazon or Monoprice for a tenner. I'm happy with my usb Modi and don't feel the need to...
