    Phonak Audeo?

    Martin, Thanks for the great tip - that's a really good price for a decent cable that will work well with a midrange phone! I just think that many of the high-end manufacturers had a racket going when it came to cables - I just fail to comprehend how an outrageously priced pair of...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Well, that would be no good at all, unless you've a pair of headphones lying around that you're just itching to dissect! What would one do with the previously functioning headphones once stripped of their wires? Surely there must be companies out there that sell some type of replacement...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Martin, Thanks for sharing the fact that the cables for the Phonak are easily replaceable. Believe it or not, I've somehow managed to ruin at least 2 earphones when the cables came apart at the Y-point (where they split into 2 individual wires) in one instance, and in the other the cabling...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Martin, Thanks for answering my questions even though we started veering dangerously off-topic... It's funny how a discussion about something can devolve into something totally different, doesn't it? I promise this is the last time I'll go off-topic, so here goes... 1) Can you confirm...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Martin, Thanks for the information regarding the chips used in the Sansa players. I see that apparently there is a Clip V2 out, does that use the AMS chip as well? I hope Sandisk sticks with this setup for the foreseeable future, as I'm extremely happy with the Clip I have now, and I may want...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Martin, I had no idea that the Clip was (potentially) capable of well over 100mW output at 16 ohms, that should make it capable of driving just about any earphones to ear-splitting levels quite easily. I've always liked Sandisk's offerings and have owned a couple of their Sansa MP3 players...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Martin, I posted something earlier regarding the pairing of the Clip with the Phonaks. I'm reproducing it below, hope you can offer some input about it. Dfkt, It's so ironic that you mentioned 'basshead' in your comments, because one of the headphones that I own which many would...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Martin, I came across your comment about sleeping with the Phonaks. I'm just curious, and I hope you don't mind me asking this, under what circumstances do you sleep with your headphones on and what is your purpose in sleeping with them? I have accidentally fallen asleep with my...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Centerfold, If you've never tried the Clip before you're in for a pleasant surprise. I bought it pretty much on Martin's (from abi) recommendation, and I've never regretted my decision even once. It is very musical, and the soundstage is unlike anything I've heard from any other mp3 player...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Dfkt, It's so ironic that you mentioned 'basshead' in your comments, because one of the headphones that I own which many would consider bass heavy is the JBL reference 220. I'm looking for an everyday pair of headphones that are reasonably priced (and the Phonaks certainly fit the bill, as...

    Phonak Audeo?

    Dfkt, Just wondering, the display on your Sansa Clip looks a little different from mine. Have you hacked it or put different 3rd party firmware on it? Also, do the Phonaks partner pretty well with the Sansa, ie in terms of volume level, hiss, general musicality? Thanks, Paul

    a new budget IEM: Maximo iM-390

    Thanks so much for the feedback! I have already ordered my Maximos, and am waiting for them to arrive!! I'm excited at the prospect of hearing them, especially when some people are mentioning them in the same breath as the much vaunted Etymotic ER-6s! I'm under no illusions here, but if it...

    a new budget IEM: Maximo iM-390

    Hi, I was reading this thread with much interest. buy.com currently has a good special on the maximo im-390s, but I want to be sure that they're currently carrying the latest model, and not the older one. Andrew, do you have any idea which im-390 buy.com is currently shipping? The picture on...
