I answered my own question. They are different, in some kind of way: http://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/headphones/t/headband-headphones

Is the B1 different than the BT somehow? They look the same. http://www.sony.ca/en/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-xb950bt

Hola, hello, nei ho. What do you guys think has a similar sound signature to the Portapro, but in a different form factor? I'm curious and interested in any other form factor or price range. The obvious answer is KSC-75/35; I'm sure there's others out there too. Searching brings up old threads...

Just tried the e2c foamy tips, since my tips fell off / broke from the chilly Canadian weather / my abuse. All I can say is welcome back to mids and his, and the bass I think actually gets... I'm trying to think of a audiophile word, but the best words I can think of is that the bass gets...

Very very initial impression: Just picked these up from Future Shop-- Canada's Best Buy. On my 5G iPod... these are easily better than the EP-630, EX51, and HJE50. As great as the bass is, they are somewhat veiled in the mids and highs, hopefully that'll ease with burn-in. Currently...

Are the Vibes worth if I'm going to end up doing a lot of my listening in noisy environments-- for example, public transit? Or would I be better off picking up a more isolating IEM?

There seems to be a lot of confusion and wondering going on about these two phones recently, and how the compare with one another (it seems to be generally clearer that both at least bang for buck outperform the EP-630/CX300). V-Moda Vibe: edit:~90 USD. missed the earphonesolutions.com deal...

If I think talking about the difference between gold and silver cables is ridiculous, do I still get to be an audiophile?

**edited to fix my poor terminology XD, mods please fix title is that, from what I understand (never having had the pleasure of owning a pair of IEMs) is that with IEMs you can't "just pull the things out". On-the-go, which is when I'd be using in-ear buds or canalphones, I'll be on transit...

Being another Canadian headfier, thought I'd reiterate: whatever headphones you end up choosing, buy them online.

Am I wrong in thinking these are the OEM versions by Foster's?
