just got some e4's yesterday and they are great! I agree that they are very balanced, and smooth. Now to get a line out for my mini and a portable amp.

could anyone post a pic of the E4's in their ear? Also has anyone listened to the E4's through the line out of a ipod via pocketdock and so on?

The idea behind a "source" is...sub-par source = sub-par sound, good source = good sound. So basically you can have the greatest headphones in the world, but when paired up with a sub-par source, the sound quality is just not going to be at its full potential. While you don't have to go blowing...

Sorry to hear about your grandmother...As for your headphone choice, the 580's are indeed a great choice, and I have owned this pair for about 2 years now. They are terrific especially to the high ends...very spacious sounding as well to me. I primarily listen to Hip-Hop/Rap, Classical, and...

I don't see the harm in waiting, seeing as how the future is sounding very nice according to Jude's review of the E4C's...the new Ultimate Ears should be good contenders as well. I see no reason to take the plunge yet. Just wait, a little bit longer. *EDIT* Oh, I forgot to welcome you to the...

indeed! The cans are not even released at this moment so no need to hurry, its not like they are going to run out

All in all, I support Jude's concerns and reasoning for this upcoming draft. As someone above stated, one of these days, if a group buy were to go awry, there would be alot of fingers being pointed at Head-fi and so on. Better safe then sorry. I've been burned by trolls and it is not a pleasant...

from looking at pics of a person wearing the e2c's, i think they look like hearing aids when inserted if you look at a profile shot. A bit bigger then I thought. As for recommendations, how about the Sony ex71's?

I think the size of the e2c's are a bit daunting to me. They look a bit awkward compared to say the e3c's, which don't seem that much smaller as well, or the EX71's. After reading this review I am more inclined towards the E3c's then before. Good review, once again.

After reading the original post and looking at the pics, the e2c's are definately not for me...thanks for the info, this was like a review, and a good one at that. Many thanks.

Just received them from RMA, I think they sent me a whole new set of cans, and will have to burn them in, but they sound great right out of the box on my ipod mini compared to the stocks...Miles hasn't sounded this good in a long while to me

those clip things for earbuds, do they have some universal clips that can go with any bud? Im considering the e2cs, but they looks rather large for me ears!

I like to go run and am looking at some earbuds specifically the shure e2c, Sony EX71's, Sharp MD33's and Sony EX81's. If anyone goes out running and have any of these earbuds it would be appreciated how well they fair. My source while running will by my Ipod mini by the way. Thanks in advance.

YIkes, hope you feel better!

I was on ipodlounge just surfing around and found a review of some can from Yahba called the Opus as stated in the title, and apparently for the money they give the EX71's a good run if not surpassing them. Yahba Opus Review from ipodlounge.com
