The durability/form factor and UI are simply perfect for me.  I might add that my file organization is always peculiar and nothing like playlisting... Perhaps a modern touchscreen UI might benefit everyone else, but for the visually impaired or inconvenienced the pushbuttons are great!  The...

5 days a week, 3 hours per day when home... When I travel, sometimes I'm on 10+ hours at a stretch. Usually I leave my cute iPhone where it won't get broken, whereas Tera is more like "equipment", performing flawlessly while working hard and on the move!

I figured if I "marked" it, it would just be less desirable anyway.  The startup time, or lack thereof, makes this the only machine I care to deal with, besides the awesome sound quality.  Hopefully I won't leave mine, but few finders really want a simple yet excellent sound experience.  My...

I had my telephone number laser engraved just in case I ever lost it.  We get around a lot together...  You might surmise that resale value isn't a great concern for me, and I hope to still have this many years from now!

Hey musicday, sorry to take so long... wish I could join the next meet!  

My Tera goes everywhere with me except on small boats, and no doubt shows dramatic wear.  In addition to multiple drops and pocket abrasion, I accidently put a scratch on the button pad when it was in my chest pocket because I kept sliding my ball point pen next to it.  I then put a square of...

As far as matching goes, an amplifier eliminates impedence compatability issues, yet the spacial qualities of Tera continue to amaze me. PLEASE let me try dedicated music products, but I'll tell you now that my iPhone 6 and macbook are both silly standins for music listening. I get the impedence...

I found that by punching an extra hole and thereby shortening the leather strap, it fully cradles te cranium for a nicely suspended fit. I have a smaller head, apparently...

I use Tera as practically Military-spec equipment at work ( where minor dropping, static shock, and vibration are constant hazards), gym, skiing, yard work, skateboarding and really just a tough life in general. I have only one great fear. I honestly think Tera can take all the abuse I give it...

Which strangely enough poses an interesting dilemma: Tera is as reliable as a hammer. I bet if anyone out there has had a problem, it turned out to be an issue with the card... If only we could count on warranty work to spur our upgrades!!!

The solution seems difficult: audition lots of headphones. It helps that many people have left their impressions and recommendations. I am extremely happy with 1964ears Quads, and used both amped and unamped. Putting my Portaphile amp into the mix frees me to use various headphones without...

In regards to detail, my Samsung S4 and various iDevices do a far superior job drilling the details into the center of my head. In particular, those details such as rim shots are brightly tattooed onto the cranium so as to be much more noticable than the Tera's more natural approach. Without a...

Information available at tera-player.com This machine is not for everyone. Like cheese or wine it has its own flavor and unfortunately it also has its cost. My Galaxy S4 is cheaper and for some much more convenient. I try to listen to it for almost an hour per week and struggle. On the other...

We can thank 9/11 and the extra vigilance of crew and TSA for your close examination. I hope you still kept your shoes! The fact is, no device should ever smoke or catch on fire while in any vehicle especially an airplane. I also would propose that the USB charging port on an airplane has passed...
