Canadian folks out there:   http://www.futureshop.ca/CATALOG/category.aspx?category=HeadphonesBOGO   great especially if you can pair with someone.

if you are on a budget, don't worry about the amp. Go to ClieOS' list (inearmatters) or joker's thread here. Set your budget, find the a couple of alternatives that has a good value rating in your budget. Then read about their sound signature and other details. then decide.    I would not go...

Just my two cents: I thought Brainwavz M2s sounded like CAL!s (D1001).

Try Joker's Multi-iem shootout. You can do quite well under 150, probably much better than ADDIEMs.  You also need what kinda sound signature you want.

gentle bump!

Hi,   I have recently picked RE0s after thinking about them the last two years :) I was expecting to be impressed but not this much! I had xcapes v1 and still have FA-003s and I thought I am used to upper mid-fi audio by now, but RE0s thoroughly impressed me. (If my memory serves me right, I...
