ehh, i still would like to see if applying heatshrink would work, just because i have some heatshrink lying around in the house right now. the adapter seems nice though.

earphones for me generally last me around 2-3 months, then one ear shorts out. ive been wondering if putting heatshrink over the jack (to provide some strain relief) would prolong the life of my earphones? because i cant afford to buy earphones every 2 months. thanks in advance. 

i have a perfectly fine ipod touch. i was looking for suggestions on earphones? 

its always in my pocket. thats why i aim for straight plugs, with the L-shaped plugs, the cable is bent when in my pocket, which i thinks gives it more stress. im also aiming for those cables with that clear heatshrink, like the ones meelec has.

SK inkd (i know, shame on me), elago e3, m9, and a whole bunch of other IEMs. i dont know whats up with me. should i stop using them when working out or shooting hoops?

every earphone i have, one side always goes silent after a few months, like two or three. i dont excercise too heavily in them, just lifting, a little cardio, and to shoot hoops alone. any way to fix this "curse"?

looks like i finally found my earphone of choice. The silicon tips that come with IEMs are too big, even the small ones are big, i cant get a good seal and it feels like they're going to fall off. i havent found a snug fit on any IEM. i listen to music while reading and playing games on my...

im looking for cheap, durable earphones i can use for working out at the gym. my previous set of headphones, the skullcandy inkd, shortened out on me (the left ear went out after about a month and a half). could you guys recommend some earphones that wont short out, last a while, and are good...

im an avid gamer, and my plantronics set just broke down on me after a year of use. i need a comfortable gaming headset with a mic that isnt too expensive, maybe around $30 or under, because i dont need the expensive sets. 

well, i only wore a beanie while boarding, but a week ago when i had nasty fall on a jump, most likely i will be wearing a helmet from now on. The Elago E3, Q:Electronics, and the Earjax Tonics really stand out to me because they all have been reviewed as a very cheap IEM with tons of bass. im...

ive done a litle bit more research on the multi IEM comparision thing on head-fi, and im also eying the elago e3. most reviews say they have a boomy, rich basss, with ok vocals, and somewhat decent build quality.

hows the bass on the air cushions?

ok so you would say the logics are the boomiest bass-heavy IEMs, right? im thinking about getting those over the tonics and another pair of one of my favorite budget IEMs, the radius atomic bass.

ok, so ive done a bit of "research" on head-fi, and it seems as if the two best options that fit my needs are the earjax tonic or the dB logic ep-100. i dont know which one, though...           BTW, sorry if im being a bit buggy by posting all these threads, im just a newcomer to...

i need a cheap, decent quality IEM for snowboarding, preferrably $35 or under. im by no means an audiophile, just looking for these things: comfortability, i wont have pain in my ears after a few hours a decent build quality, not some crappy wires and speakers that blow in a month a boomy...
