So just making sure I understand this correctly - there are no playlists, only folders in which you dump files. So if you wanted to make a workout playlist that happens to have the same song as a dance playlist, you'd have to make two folders (appropriately named) and put the file in each...

  Hugely useful. Thank you and previous poster who pointed out the things to consider thread. 

  Can't speak to the first part because I just don't know (but good thinking - I know who to ask). As for the kids thing - I don't get it? Forgive me for being obtuse, too young to have kids (well, too immature anyway).   --Dan

Hey SF/LA folks - I see two names come up (only one of which I knew about before, Lisa Tannenbaum), the other being Nancy Taitz. Only thing is I didn't really see any impressions of either for product after the fact. It's encouraging that Lisa has recommendations from JHA and Sensaphonics (I...

Great thread - like so many before me, helped answer a ton of questions and clarify some more. The thing is, I'm with Mython on the "additional" questions he poses. Anyone have thoughts?   --Dan

So I'm curious - I didn't see anything about it but does a portable tube amp with a DAC exist? I totally agree with your premise that it would be perfect for plane trips - adding in a DAC means the iPod gets to do its thing too.    --Dan

  Totally spot on and I can't believe that I'm suffering from the same complex I dislike in others: not reading far enough into the material.    Although I have no experience with CIEMs (yet) and I don't have a background in material science - the idea that foam (which is naturally pretty...

Wait you don't wear your Shures over the ear? I know they're different but I assume the shells are the same from the 215 to the 535 - I feel like the only way to wear those is over. Heck even on my old EC2s I'd wear them over.    Also - where does Shure come up with the "37db" isolation...

I just want to bestow a HUGE thank you for making this thread. Working my way through it but wow - just unbelievably enlightening. Thank you for helping this luddite up his game dramatically.    --Dan

I just want to say thank you for putting this thread together. Holy mackerel. I got pointed here by a kind poster in the Roxanne thread and while I'm still working through it, I'm learning tremendous stuff. Seriously awesome job!   --Dan

Sweet but I've never signed up for FB and 15% off of these isn't going to make me start. Oh well. That said, pretty cool of JH to do it.   --Dan

I know you say it's counter intuitive and maybe a bit over-thinking but honestly that makes a ton of sense. Thanks a bunch for the comprehensive explanation. Plus, it was pretty silly of me to think a) my question was unique and b) they wouldn't have considered that already. Now I just have to...

Thanks guys, much appreciated. Yeah I know they haven't come in yet, saw Jude's vid and the pics on this thread which made me think the case wasn't. Then again, my eyesight is probably as bad as my singing voice.... Best, --Dan

I'm in SF and tried to find a rec'd audiologist to do the fitting - there's a lady who's primarily in LA but makes trips up here. Anyone done business with her before? Lisa Tannenbaum, her shop is called Musician's Hearing. Terrible website but plenty of 'name' customers so I presume she's...

True, the PHA-1 has a disappointing battery life, though. I assume the 2 will be similar.
