It depends what you mean by "expensive." I worked out for my Shure E3s for a long time, but they're only worth around $100 or less now. I did have to get them replaced under warranty, but I don't think that was because of my working out with them. If I had been denied the warranty, no big...

I've been trying to get my M-Audio transit to allow Dolby/DTS Pass-Thru to my Panasonic SA-XR55 receiver, but every time I do it, I get no sound at all. The sound works just fine if I switch it to "0 in, 2 out" or any of the other options, so I don't know what the problem is. I'm using an...

I ended up going with the RH910 and the Shure Beta 58A, just in case anyone searches for this in the future. Should be a pretty decent sounding combination. Thanks for the help.

My girlfriend laughs at me because every so often, I'll put in the ER-4s and after about 5 or 10 seconds of listening when I hear a particularly fantastic sounding part of a song through them, I turn and say to her "these are the best earphones EVER!" I only get a chance to listen once a week or...

It's easy to find out...just do a double blind A/B test and see what the results are. Use 1 brand new iPod and 1 that has been used for over 200 hours, same exact music files at the same volume.

I would liken collecting headphones to collecting shoes, really (not that I collect shoes...haven't bought a new pair in over 5 years). A pair to suit each occasion. Cars would work too, but that's a different price range of course. It's a different headphone for each situation. I don't want...

I wouldn't really call mine robust...it's made of a lot of plastic and feels rather cheap. The form factor isn't that great by today's standards...the only reason I still have it is the fact that it has an FM radio on it. I got mine for $35 from Amazon, so hopefully you can find it cheaper...

Nobody?

I was searching the forums trying to find the current favorite MD recorder, but my search was somewhat inconclusive, as I only found a thread on the Sony MZ-RH910 as the only MD recorder still in production. It seems that MD recorders aren't so popular anymore. Anyhow, this will be for my...

Unfortunately I don't think I can make it. As tempting as it is, school is still the #1 priority. Unless you guys will still be there after 5...then I can come.
