    Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread

    Hey fellas, haven't posted on here for a while. Recent work changes have me trading in a 2.1 desktop audio setup back to some IEMs. Very intrigued with the N3s based upon the extensive research I've done on them. A buddy at work was swearing by the Tin Audio T2s, so I picked up a pair of T3s...

    gym & workout worthy bluetooth iems...

    Just replied to your PM and sticking with the Sony NWZ-WS615 until they die!  Been over a year with them now.  One other thought I had was the overall functionality of the interface.  It's really an intuitive design between skipping songs, volume, playlists, taking calls, etc.  Used them to do...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    My Sony NWZ-WS615 BT workout headphones are still going strong a year later.  No, not as good sounding as the RBH, but more reliable.  I use them everyday to workout in, run, and cut the yard and have sweated buckets into them.  For me, I'll take reliability for a gym headphone over SQ any day...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    Official swamp ***** alert today in STL.  Just finished the yard and sweated buckets.  615s held up well.  Threw an hour of gym time in before the yard and they continue to impress.  Stayed locked and loaded during cutting grass.  Few times I got sweat lock when looking down, but only lasted a...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    EP-SB is great for the gym and working out.  The specific problem I had with them was when running.  I sweat quite a bit when running and that's when they would act up on me.  After a run, they wouldn't turn on for a day or 2.  I think the problem was sweat getting into the microphone hole...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    Hey, to each their own.  The killer feature for me with the 615s is the waterproof feature.  If I can have waterproof and good sound quality, which is where I would rank these, then I'll be ecstatic.  Here's a list of "sport" earbuds I've burned through over the past 3 years:   4 Monster...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    The Sony NWZ-WS615s came in today, but a little too late for a work 5K event we had this afternoon.  So, haven't "field-tested" these yet.  However, I've spent the past couple of hours getting them up and running.  Paired with my HTC M8 without an issue and tried streaming some Pandora via the...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    I think olear and I are after the same bogey. Looking for a good sounding BT sports bud. I've been trying all sorts of wired / wireless combinations for the past 3 years. The BlueAnt I referenced in an earlier post went belly up 2 days ago as I was finishing up a run and it started pouring...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    Haven't tried the JLabs yet or the Jaybirds Bluebuds.  Have read mixed reviews on both.  My current exercise / running setup is a BlueAnt Ribbon BT transmitter that I wear on my waistband and paired to my Adidas watch and then some Audio Technica CPK 500s off of the Blue Ant.  They're rated as...

    Sony SBH80: Wireless to the Next Level: Review

    I had the RBH EP-SB for about a month, but ultimately returned them.  I will say that they sounded dang good.  They've been on sale off and on recently, but I bought them at list and expected them to sound pretty good.  And, they did.  Sounded extraordinary.  I was completely blown away by the...

    Atlas Earbuddy - Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones - Any owners reading this?

    Hi Felix, I don't make it around her to post too often anymore, but in doing some Google searches on this headphone model, your Head-Fi post popped up.  I've chewed through more than my fair share of wired and wireless workout / running in-ears.  I recently sent back the RBH EP-SB wireless...

    IEM for intense workouts?

    I just did a write-up on another thread about the isports:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/594856/how-is-monster-isport   Bottom line:  If you have a $150 budget, but them.  Like you I work out everyday and sometimes multiple times / day.  I put them through the paces today with an 8 mile run...

    How is Monster iSport?

    I guess I'm digging up an old thread here, but I scored a pair of these for $69 on ebay from Monster's ebay store.  They were marketed as refurbished, but I couldn't tell the difference when they arrived in full retail packaging with all accessories.  Initially, I thought now way would I pay the...

    need recommendation ....westone3 or shure 530 or trf 10 or ie8

    Refigured cable or not with the Shures, they're not getting any more of my money. My E4cs had cable issues twice. The first time they were replaced under warranty, but the second time they were not covered. I bought these things back when they close to 3 bills. 2 friends at work have also had...

    REVIEW: WESTONE 3, the ULTIMATE UNIVERSAL IEM vs everything else

    I've been chiming in every couple of days about my W3s, and thought I'd post a few more thoughts. I tried the Shure black medium olives again yesterday for giggles and was ready to return them (the W3s). I just could not get a good sound out of them. I would try the Acoustic setting and it was...
