hey guys, i was wondering if any one else has had issues moving from etymotic er-6's to anything else with a three flange tip? i just cant seem to get a good seal with the three flange tips... in fact, i've been listening to my brothers er-6i's for about 24 hours now and my initial...

i just moved to chicago from pittsburgh and id be really cool to meet people. if this thing is still on, im very very in. =D

hey head-fi'ers. Many of you may have gotten this notice already or even seen it in the news. A class action lawsuit against apple regarding the performance of the battery in the first, second and third gen iPods has been settled. The outcome? Free batteries for all! No, just kidding. Third gen...

hey guys, im on the hunt for a threaded male to female or male (i dont care) mini jack. it can come on a cable (preferably less than 6") or just be a terminal for me to make my own cables. it can even be on an adapter (male to male, male to female). the key is that i have somethng (cable...

my initial thought was to go with ety's i have a pair myself and i love them but then... they go IN your ear. to use them with a large number of people id have to either clean them or replace the tips for every subject which costs money, is a pain, and frankly, could be potentially GROSS. so...
