Interested.

What if HQ Player won't even launch on the desktop?

Just bought the Hd485's myself. I agree with others that they are bass heavy. This may not be a bad thing for some. If you can EQ down the bass, it'll save power for the mids and top end as bass is always the most power hungry of the spectrum.

It's my understanding that the X5 has the better S/N (signal to noise) ratio.

Do they exist? Basically what I am asking is what/which (if any) IEM's sound like a decent pair of over-the-ears like HD-580's? To make things more difficult: If they do exist, which IEM's sound like which over-the-ears? For example an E3c sounds like SR3251's etc......

This can is bigger in style than one would expect from a Sennheisser. A bit oaky with some heat on the nose and palate, somewhat in the style of a California AKG. A clear and deep golden-yellow tone. The nose is full with stone fruit, pineapple, and oaky aromas. Medium to full bodied, and dry...

But! As long as we are at it. I am interested in IEM's that work well without amping (just straight out of my DAP, that sounds as good as an HD580, or at least an HD535). Any suggestions. $200-250 range. Likes Rock, Jazz, real hi-fidelity esoteric stuff,

treu. But Geepondy was asking about a 2.1 or 2.0 system. Not a 5.1 So that's moot. BTW, it's also true that "friends don't let friends buy Bose." They are overpriced. For the same money you can find much better sounding speakers.
