SAmsung galaxy note 2
I'm using a RSA Predator (old, I know, but still good right?) with my Note 2 via USB OTG, and I'm still hearing HISS with my Westone 3's. Of course, when the music plays, the hiss is less noticeable, but during quieter pieces, I can tell it's still here. Is there some setting in Android that I...- robojack

Need a player with LO capabilities to use with my Predator amp
I don't think I need a true LO, just one that's more genuine than my psuedo-LO HP D2 output. That being said, I will probably consider the iPod Touch. Question now is, which generation should I be looking for, 2nd or 3rd gen?- robojack

Need a player with LO capabilities to use with my Predator amp
Looks like I've got slim pickings at this point, judging from the lack of other suggestions. Or should I just get a ipod Touch, and use a line-out cable with that?- robojack

But the battery life is really lousy, which is a bit of deal-breaker for me :(- robojack

Need a player with LO capabilities to use with my Predator amp
Been out of the audiophile scene for awhile, and I've been using my Cowon D2 in conjunction with a RSA Predator amp and Westone 3's. Love the combination, but I'm thinking of getting a new player that has actual line-out capabilities (to use with my RSA Predator), as well as SD/microSD card...- robojack

Westone UM3X Thread
I'm hearing some buzz about the UM3X's having a better a fit than the W3s. If this is the case, what is it that creates a better fit in the UM3X? Don't the two use the same audio tube design?- robojack

Headphone Sightings 2
Saw a pair of Westone 3's today, and...oh wait, turns out I was looking at myself from a reflective surface! Seriously, I've seen another pair of Westone 3's on the bus on the way to work, but as usual, in the mornings, I'm too tired to strike up conversations with people (not a morning...- robojack

Static Electricity
I don't think so. Static electricity is a usually pretty weak, so I doubt it'll anything other than deafen you with the occasional loud snaps.- robojack

UM56 Customs - Should I get now, or after wisdom tooth removal surgery?
Thanks, everyone. I'll check with Westone, and see what they say about this. Perhaps they already have policies in place for this sort of situation.- robojack

UM56 Customs - Should I get now, or after wisdom tooth removal surgery?
Got an audio-related question, that also relates to wisdoms: Has anyone had their ear canals change shape after wisdom surgery (see how close the wisdoms are to the ears)? My wisdom removal surgery is in 2 months, would there be a difference if I get the UM56 ear tips made right now, or should I...- robojack

URGENT: Questions about pulling wisdom teeth
Got an audio-related question, that also relates to wisdoms: My wisdom removal surgery is in 2 months, is it a good idea to get custom IEM ear molds made right now, or should I wait until after the surgery?
