Zune HD seems very mid heavy. The sound has a weight that I have not found in the new Fuse I have bought.

yea give her a pair of bassy phones. You probably were better suited posting this in portable headphones but I think if your looking at the IEMs, you should look at the dynamic driver ones if she listens to a lot of hip hop. I don't know the prices but maybe look at sennheiser, denons, or...

There is nothing "impure" about mp3s. MP3's are a lossy codec meaning they compress while you do lose some quality. It doesn't add anything. And you just have to check yourself honestly. Everyone's different, just like everyone's eye sight is different, everyone's ears are slightly different...

I think part of the reason why is that the aps have ads on them. Little bit annoying but I don't really use the aps much anyways until they come up with something like slacker.

I think what it means is that if the computer is in sleep mode, your x series is not going to charge the battery. Instead, the x series is going to run off its own battery (and therefore your not charging it, your draining it).

Does this work with mkvs?

I think the Zune is actually warm. I feel like what I don't like about the Zune's sound is that the treble doesn't sparkle and that detail wise it doesn't seem very transparent (maybe associated with lack of treble). Regardless, the Sony is probably the better sound quality wise. I don't even...

Well a lot of times EQ can lead to distortion which is why I don't like to use it. Like I used to like using the R and B EQ on my ipod before I got good headphones. I realized after that it creates a lot of distortion that can be heard through the phones. However, on my iRiver Clix I turn the...

That is true but they are already the largest 3rd party developer for OS X. You could make that same argument for developing software on the mac but they still do it.

They need to add Mac support cause I would totally buy it right now if they did. Ipods work on Windows, why limit yourself like that, I don't understand...

The Klipsch image series or the jay series.

Thanks for the responses. Anyone actually hear the M12? I did a search and found plenty of people who have heard the D1080 and the M200 and even the M10 but none who have heard the M12. I can't spend the money now to get a sub for the M200 but maybe later. Subs are expensive though aren't they...

I am stuck on choosing between the Swan M12, D1080, or the M200. I have not heard any of them and I don't think I'll be able to find a place where I can. I know theaudioinsider has a 30 day trial but it's an uneeded hassle to send it back so I want to make the best choice initially. I am...

x5's have a lot less bass than x10s. It's a little bit more than the er-6i imo. X5's have very forward mids. I'd recommend the sf5pros from your criteria but they're considerably more expensive and I was never the biggest fan.
