I used to use the PX200, but the fit was too fiddley to get a consistent decent bass. Then I tried using IEMS, but nobody could tell I was wearing phones, so they would talk away and assume I was ignoring them, and on top of it, they were too isolating - I would miss the phone ringing...

Good Guys out by the airport/205 has a fair amount, mostly Sennheiser, Sony and a couple of Phillips, but you can test with your own player. Stereotypes on NE Broadway & 26th(www.stereotypesaudio.com) carries Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser, and also has a number of headphone amps. Fred's Sound of...

My E3's live in a "Lucy's Predic-a-mints" tin. (Like an altoid tin - but a little larger.) I don't use the wind-up Shure case.

Ecost is currently showing them as in-stock (13 remaining). "Shipping" is free, but handling is 5.95, per usual E-cost methods. I have AT a-900's for home. I already have Sharp MD-33's - are the e3c's a big step up from the Md-33's? (I'm using a Jukebox 3 and a Rio Nitrus as my portable...

The NJB3 can be controlled at home with a Harmony or Pronto remote (and maybe others, too). Even though they no longer sell the IR remote, the codes are available. I just got my NJB3, and the menu system, while not as 'simplistic' as the IPOD, was no problem to use at all. Carol

I 'popped' them out of my 900's last night - and they're exactly as described above. (and the went right back in) Personally, I'd put a little Dawn (cause it's so good at cutting grease, and is otherwise non-damaging) in a small bowl of warm water, put the pads in, squeeze them a few times to...

From the looks of them, you could buy the larger 'foamies' - the kind that would fit portapros, and slip them over the wings to make a cover. Then you could wash, or throw away the foamies when they got dirty. I'll check to see if that would work when I get home tonight. Carol

Quote: Originally posted by Erik F Sounds like a solid deal. One piece of advice, though: get an extended warranty . As I bought it directly from Creative, there wasn't any way to get an extended warranty that I could see. Do you know of a reputible company that offers...

Well, I bought it, and there's still 3 left at Ebay, in case anyone else wants one at this price. There are also some that are NIB on Auction from Creative, and they've gone for as low as $251 in recent weeks. So I guess I might have been able to save a little bit more if I'd been willing...

After way too much research here, I've finally decided that out of all of the various portable options out there, I'm buying the Nomad Jukebox 3 as our roadtrip car player. I picked it over the Zen Xtra because of it's ability to record in a portable situation, and the easy upgrade to a 80gb...
