    Cheap headphones: Coby CV185 or Koss UR20? Anything else?

    Hi, I am looking to get a cheap pair of headphones and am considering the Coby CV185 or Koss UR20.  Does anyone know anything about those?  Any other cheap recommendations?  The only thing is they have to be from newegg as I have a small gift certificate left and have to use in the next week.  ...

    Koss Portapro Thread

    Hi, does anyone know if the Sportapro has the same drivers as the Portapro?  I thought they did but are they the exact same size too?  I ask because I have the KSC75 and did the headband mod with the Parts Express headband and may want to do the same with the Sportapro drivers.  The KSC75 was...

    Want to upgrade from Yuin PK3, but don't want to use an amp!

    Hi,  I had read that Yuin has about the smallest sized earbuds, can anyone confirm that?  By way of comparison I recently got the Senn MX271 and I think those are fairly small, are the Yuin's the same or even smaller?  How about the PK3's size in relation to Senn MX580?  Is the PK3 much smaller...

    Philips SHE3580 IEM review--how can something sound so good for $10???

    I got a pair of these based on this and Dsnuts reviews but so far I just cannot seem to get a good seal.  I assume that is what it is as I have seen many comments about the great bass and so far no matter what I have done the cheap buds that come with a walkman have more for me.  So I figure it...

    Are Sportapro drivers same as Portapro?

    Hi, does anyone know if the Sportapro has the exact same drivers and size as the Portapro?  I thought they were and if they are I assume that means that Sportapro drivers can be snapped out from the band and clicked in to the clips for the Koss KSC75 or also be clicked into the Parts Express...

    The ATH-CKM50. The CKM family impressions..(First look at the NEW CKM500)..Pg 86

    Dsnuts, sorry if I may have asked you this before but have you posted and recommended any "value" budget finds in the earbud style(not iem)?  I have seen many of your recommendations and enjoy reading them but all have been either iem or over ear(Pansonic) but I was not sure if I missed any...

    Backup Earbuds for <$30?

    Thanks for the replies as that is what I figured most likely as I rarely see any mention of JVC, Koss, or Panasonic earbuds but I see those brands mentioned frequently for other headphone types.   As far as the Sennheiser's are the MX271 & MX370 also good or at least decent for earbuds?  I...

    Backup Earbuds for <$30?

    I was wondering if brands like JVC, KOSS, or Panasonic make decent budget earbud style headphones?  Does anyone know?  Even if not as good as Yuin or MX580 but maybe something that it is good value for a low price?  I have not heard any of those brands earbuds but I see they get many mentions on...

    Earbuds (yes, not iems) with biggest soundstage, airy and balanced sound like k701?

    Well I was all set to order the MX580 but newegg now seems to be out of stock.  This must have just happened as I saw them listed there a couple of days ago.  I know I can get them elsewhere like amazon and I may but I have a gift card for newegg.  The only Sennheiser earbud style newegg seems...

    Earbuds (yes, not iems) with biggest soundstage, airy and balanced sound like k701?

      Quote: Thanks for this info as I did not know the Yuin's were so small as one of the earbuds I was considering instead of(or addition to) MX580 was the PK3.  The Yuin's seem to get great reviews for sound quality too from what I have read. Quote: Thanks JK1.  I know...

    Earbuds (yes, not iems) with biggest soundstage, airy and balanced sound like k701?

    Quote: Just by way of comparison are the MX580 considered very small?  I was considering getting those but the pictures I saw made them seem big.  How would they compare size wise to the Sony buds that come with a walkman or the Sony MDR-E10 or E9?  Also the Sony's are all that I have...

    Earbud size - Senn MX580 & Yuin PK3?

    Hi, I am considering getting a better pair of earbuds as iem/canal style is just too uncomfortable for me.  The main two I am considering are the Sennheiser MX580 & Yuin Pk3.  But are both of those roughly the same size?  From the pictures they both look big especially the MX580.  The only...

    Choosing between Senn HD448, Sony XB500, ZX500, & MDR-V6-any advice or recommendations?

      Quote:   Quote: Thanks for the replies.  Would you consider the V6 to be very comfortable as that is super important to me?  And do you know if they have stopped making them?  As they seem to be out at both newegg & Amazon.  I've seen that before with newegg but then...

    Choosing between Senn HD448, Sony XB500, ZX500, & MDR-V6-any advice or recommendations?

    Hi, I am mainly considering those 4 headphones as what to get next, the Senn HD448 and the 3 Sony's and wanted some recommendations and advice.  This is strictly for home listening either directly from DAP or using the headphone of my Onkyo receiver.  I listen to a wide variety of music but...

    $3.99 Best headphones I've ever owned....

    Quote:   Thanks for comments and advice and also about the Sportapro/Portapro.  I may look into the HAS650 you mention but I did try the HAS600 but had to return it as I found it way too firm with the clamping so for me very uncomfortable.  I have read that the MDR-V6 besides sounding...
