I've been poking around, I know Shure's new line-up of headphones should be debuting this month but I can't find any info about an actual date. Anyone care to enlighten?

See now this is where I've always felt active noise-cancellation shined. While I wouldn't recommend a Bose QC2 or QC3 in general, I always felt that if you were looking for something to activily cancel the loud plane noise around you that those two, or any of the other options from Logitech, or...

bah, I wouldn't have been worried that's what earwax is for. Your body would have eventually pushed it out, albeit covered in cerumen.

I just bought some Shure e2cs and they are super awesome. Very "decent" which is what you're looking for. They're at the top of your budget, you can shop around I think TTVJ has them for 70.00. They are worth it, and come with a 2 year warantee!

Hey guys, I just picked up a pair of e2c's which I'm enjoying. Actually, I don't want to sound like a jerk here, but I bought this pair to hold me over until the new Shure line-up launches at the end of the month. I got these from Best Buy and they aSHUREd me (pun intended) that they will take...

Every PC gaming magazine always seems to recommend the Razer Barracuda HP1 if you want a mic, or they'll recommend Sennheiser HD580s if you don't need the microphone. Either way, I use a pair of big Sony MDR-XD200s to play, I picked them up for 15 dollars at the Sony Factory Store and the...

I needed to thank you guys for the JVC Marshmallow suggestions. I was sitting in my Networking class during break browsing the forums and stumbled upon the topic about them being 9 dollars and change at Circuit City. I drove by after class and picked them up (had to speak with a manager to honor...

I've got a pair of XD200s I picked up at the Sony Outlet refurbished. Spectacular deal at only 5 bucks.

You know, gwoan, don't shoot me here... I always sleep in my iBuds, the standard iPod earbuds tend to be lightweight and stay in place and usually fall out conveniently just when you've dosed off.

Yea, this intrigues me, I live in the Providence area, awfully close to Boston as well and I was wondering how/where I could find a good HiFi store.

Hi, I'm really sorry to waste anyones time. Anyways, I'm definetly not an audiophile but I apparently love spending money. Anyways, I've gone through a few pairs of headphones now and rather then make any more impromptu decisions and purchases I was looking for some help. I've been reading these...
