Thanks for the links, I'll keep them bookmarked/saved till I have a chance to buy them :)

Thanks for the suggestions on the stores. Are these 2 sellers legit? http://www.amazon.com/Original-Xiaomi-Earphone-Headphone-Smartphone/dp/B00HUNUOJW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top (robert's superstore)...

Thanks for the suggestions, both look to be great earphones, however I don't know where exactly to buy it from, I see plenty of of upset customers with the Xiaomi Pistons from Amazon claiming to be fakes and some legit-sounding deals from eBay (though they ship from Hong Kong), is there a...

As of late I need to find some budget IEM earphones for outside use. I have a good pair of PortaPros which, while they were meant for outside use, storing them is not as efficient as some sources mentioned it was, at least with what I usually have on, plus I've had several close calls with my...

Recently been working on improving my portable audio setup. Managed to get some deluxe headphones but now I need a new music player that would be a bit better than the stock Google Music app. I read a lot of old threads about this but they were from years ago and many new players have come out...

I just got them shipped from Amazon yesterday morning. They sound really good and very comfortable. Doesn't squeeze my head hard like some previous headphones I had, only my glasses a tad but solved when I re-adjust them a bit. After a day I did have the hair tangle prob but that was only...

A long time ago (maybe 2 or so years), I bought some M-Audio Q40's after reading so many great reviews for it and unfortunately after some time the headband snapped, cans are still operational though. It seems from one of the sides the 2 strips of metal that attach themselves to the adjustable...

Thanks! I'm gonna try ordering from Adorama.com if Amazon doesn't work out.

After reading a lot of recommendations for the Koss PortaPro I've been wanting to buy one. I ordered one on Amazon about 2 weeks ago with Prime shipping and apparently a few days later after checking tracking, I found out the shipping company they used (Lasership) lost my package, I called the...

I bought an Alessandro MS-1 about 2 years ago, been working fine, and sound quality got better with age as I heard, but just today, the metal/leather headband detached from the L and R adjusters of the headband. Also lately the headphones have been giving me a bit of trouble in the left speaker...

Does anyone know the proper way to get rid of Grado rattle? I took care of it yesterday but the problem came back today, blowing isn't helping and I dont wanna damage it if I blow to hard.

Oh and I almost forgot, EFN, you mentioned you had a Yuin PK-1, how is that, Clarity-wise, and compared to the overall sound of the MS-1? I've always imagined that earbuds arent as clear and overall as good as full-sized headphones. Then again I am still new at advanced headphones/audio stuff...

Thanks for the fast response guys. I just blew into the screen and the problem went away, may or may not have been the best way but now music is back to normal, listening to NIB by Black Sabbath which was the track I first noticed this in and it plays like it should, no scratchyness/distortion...

I need some help. I've owned the MS-1's for like 2 1/2 weeks now, everything's going great but for some reason the left can is producing some scratchy/kinda distorty when it reaches a certain amount of bass in any music I listen to. I understand there is some time to burn in for a headphone to...
