JVC harx700 - a poor mans ath-a900!!
Can anyone comment on the RX700s compared to the e2c's? I'm trying to figure out if It'd be a step down from my recently broken Shure's. I'm assuming the isolation won't be as great just based on the fact that the JVCs are closed cans vs. the IEM Shures.- Athens

Can't decide what to get!
Hello, I'm shopping for a pair of headphones for my sister and I'm stuck. It would be for use with an iPod (main), computer (second) so it seems some portability. I was thinking closed cans that don't require an amp with a budget between $100-140 shipped. She's no audiophile; listens to...- Athens

$200 mp3 player (convince me otherwise?)

I'm still scared I may not notice a difference between the new phones and what I'm using now or something silly like that, but the more and more I read about these the less worried...- Athens

Closed headphones for under $140?
Just thought I'd post a thank you to you guys before I order the A500's I decided on. You all were very informative and helped my final decision a ton. One last thing, Is there anything I should know about ordering from audiocubes before I place my order? Like how long it usually takes...- Athens
