Sony X Series Walkman, COWON S9, Apple iPod touch 2G, SanDisk Sansa Fuze Impressions with the Shure E500 / SE530
i just went to a sonystyle store to play with X -- It sounded really really REALLY good. but what were they thinking when they are forcing to enter text (for entering URL or searching keywords on Youtube) thru T9 as if it was a cellphone? it was an infuriating experience... and the browser...- d_o_n

Victor HP-FX500 Review: World's first Wood Canalphones
ordering from seyo set a new record for me. 4 working days since i ordered + the weekends where it was stuck at canadian customs (where i assume no one would be working over the weekend). I think they put "gift" on the package and lowered the value of the good. I was not asked to pay taxes.- d_o_n

Victor HP-FX500 Review: World's first Wood Canalphones
update: i like my FX500 amped with Fiio E5. Sounds richer, more body all around. Now I'm happy with my FX500 It adds a bit of hiss but a little hiss is a trade off i'm willing to take. bass becomes very very sweet. very pleasurable to listen to. yummy stuff! Head-Direct RE2 had very small...- d_o_n

Victor HP-FX500 Review: World's first Wood Canalphones
I got mine yesterday I'm shocked Seyo shipped it so fast. I ordered late last tuesday and got it next monday evening. Getting something ordered on internet in less than a week is some kind of record for me. I listened to it for 3 mins and went for a game of tennis for 3 hours. I don't believe...- d_o_n

Victor HP-FX500 Review: World's first Wood Canalphones
ouch! my condolences to YOUR wallet! in fact, i was so disappointed with lack of bass with RE02, I read the Bass Ahoy thread with much interest. but the original poster wouldn't update his reviews! agh! As impatient as I am, i just ordered a pair of FX500. It must be the wood thing. wood...- d_o_n

Victor HP-FX500 Review: World's first Wood Canalphones
Greeting, my first post here after reading this thread i put a order on a pair of FX500 from seyo. like it's said numerous times in this site, reading these posts isn't very good to my wallet. I dont think i have sensitive ears. I've been happily using my Sansa clip with FX66 and was...- d_o_n
