    Soundmagic PL-21 Discountined?

    I've been using the PL-21 for like 6 months now as my primary means of listening.  I've actually doubled them as running headphones, which has been a pleasant surprise, as I've been struggling with filling that niche forever.  I guess you could argue you shouldn't run with IEMs but whatever...

    How to replace my Shure e4c?

    It's gotta be at the plug.  I'd appreciate some help.  I'm willing to try and fix it myself, though I don't have any electronic experience. So if it's particularly difficult, I might seek out some local help.

    How to replace my Shure e4c?

    I'm also open to the idea of repairing my Shures.  I listened to them today for the first time in a while to see if I could nail down the issue.  They are actually still capable of original sound when I get the wiring held just right, but I'm pretty sure I have a wiring issue near the jack.  If...

    SoundMagic PL21 Foam Tips?

    There must be some miscommunication.  I ordered the T-400, and they do not fit at all.  The headphones just fall out of the tips.

    How to replace my Shure e4c?

    I definitely want the same sound.  I am not a bass junky and am quick to dismiss a lot of speaker/headphones as muddy.   I do not like these PL-21, does the PL-50 sound considerably different?

    How to replace my Shure e4c?

    It's hard to tell.  On the right bud, I think it's just cabling.  It crackles and fades in and out a lot, but I can get good sound if I hold it just right.   For the left though, the sound is really faded and quiet.  It doesn't crackle as much as the right bud, but one day while I was...

    How to replace my Shure e4c?

    I've been listening to these guys for I guess like 4 years now.  I sent one pair back within the 2yr warranty, and my second pair got me another year and a half... but now they are dying.   As a quick replacement to get something listenable, I ordered the SoundMagic PL-21... super cheap and...

    SoundMagic PL21 Foam Tips?

    I have looked everywhere to find some information on a compatible foam tip with the PL21.  They don't ship with them anymore, and I must have some!  They aren't listed on the Comply website, so I don't know if any of those will fit.  I have a bunch of tips for my old Shure e4c, but I don't know...

    I might need to upgrade...

    So I got some HD 280s for Xmas as my first plunge into higher quality audio. I know people say they aren't great, but given that I'm no audiophile, it seemed like a good first step, and I like them a lot. I'm slowly ripping my cd collection to lossless, and I think I'm starting to notice a...

    Amp for HD280s

    I mean... I like them too, but then again, I've never had any sort of quality sound system. I'm on my way up, full time jobs are sweet. I was trying to decide between an amp and a new sound card... maybe I'll go with the sound card... or a sound card with a built in amp! Currently ripping all...

    Amp for HD280s

    I really just got these as a gift, and am none to anxious to replace them. My budget is pretty low right now, in the $100-$150 range, which isn't enough really to buy pair of cans better enough to justify them. If an amplifier was going to help out with these, I would consider it, but it sounds...

    Amp for HD280s

    I just got a pair of HD280s for Xmas. I know a lot of people don't like them, but they're a heck of a lot better than my speakers. I have several questions, but primarily, what would you recommend to amplify these headphones, or do I need one? I've heard conflicting opinions as to whether it...
