I sms him about my Baby Stax and he sometimes reply to me, but there's no indication that he's going to return it to me anytime soon. He's been saying that he's having a hard time in real life, but I don't think that's a good excuse to turn your back completely to the people and community...

@JDUBS: Same here. He's hung on to mine for more than 6 months now. My emails and phone calls haven't been returned for sometime. I do have his personal information and ways to leverage them if necessary. I've just got 'back' myself and have sort of ignored the issue for quite sometime and will...

Did you try sending a message to the seller also?

Um.. video please

Seriously, you're driving an HD-650 with an iPhone? I'll have to try that one of these days. I thought it sounded quite ridiculous when I tried my HD-650 on iPhone 3G months ago before I upgraded to 3GS.

Quite a reach to assume driver change would result in SQ difference though. It looks to me they just made some changes to the interface (whatever exposed to the programmers to pipe the sound to). More likely it tweaks the performance, which doesn't affect the SQ directly.

Admit it! Y'all are drinkin the PLACEBO JUICE

Heya Jiggly, how's your switch so far? What's good, what's bad... and what's ugly

I have also found ER4P, ER4S and HF5 all have microphonics. HF5 is slightly better than the ER4 series, but still ranks pretty high compared to other IEMs I've tried (Senn IE8, IE7, UM3x, W3..etc). Running them over the ears would 'fix' microphonics for the most part, but it may be harder to do...

Hmm... I prefer pier 1.

I've purchased an IE8 for a friend of mine from the mentioned seller (sx297_10). It was genuine and came sealed with the sennheiser ribbon. I don't think you've any reason to worry.

I just want to chime in that Phonak's customer service is nothing short of astounding! I bought a couple of phonaks (for me and my friend), got the infamous november batch PFE112s, and one of them cracked. It didn't take long for Bill to send replacement units for me, all the way on the other...

@Duncan: Here's my FX500's box

@Duncan: I'll take a pic of my FX500's box tomorrow. But from looking at that page on Apple store, I can tell you that you got a cooler pouch =P The FX500's pouch is square with rounded corners.
