I've had my Panasonic HJE900s for about nine months now and really love the drivers, but I'm having a hell of a time with their cables. Stock cable lasted about six months before I started losing sound in one side. I would have purchased another stock cable, but, as we all know, they're nowhere...

Ordered a pair of PL-50s last week; they came yesterday and I'm enjoying them so far (although they're a little bass-lite, I feel). I was messing around with the tips that came with the 'phones and decided to try the black foam ones. I just took them out and realized the tips are emitting this...

I'm always finding my way back to head-fi to whine about IEMs or my lack thereof. So my Shures predictably broke for the 80th time a few months back, a couple months out of warranty. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time or cash to invest in a new pair of quality IEMs. However, tomorrow...

Wow, been AGES since I've been here. I actually haven't bought a pair of phones for the longest, but the bug's biting-- for quasi-practical reasons, though! (Honest... >>) I purchased my first pair of Shures (e3cs) in 2005. I've had several pair of Shures since, mostly warranty...

This is not my week. First my 5g ipod broke, now my e3cs broke... For the third time in 2 years. Unfortunately, my 2 year warranty expired last year, so no free replacement this time. Suggestions for a new IEM? I liked the sound of the e3cs, but I'm not married too it. Other features I...

I'd die if I won.

My 4g ipod's screen cracked and I've ordered a black 5g as a replacement. BSE + corecase aluminum case effective enough protection? Or should I spring from the IS + podsplus case?

Inquiring minds want to know: what do the 600s have that the 580s don't? In your opinion, of course.

Get it outtttttt...! Return those things and get yourself a pair of Sennheiser 595s... That was sort of knee-jerk. :P As has been touched on, do you need noise-cancelling? Sound isolation? Do you care about portability?

They referred you to Apple Australia? That's bizarre. Did you buy them new from ebay or what?
