    MEElectronics "M What?" Promotion

    Hey guys, haven't posted in a long time, but my Shure SE310s crapped out and I needed to order something quick. This promotion was super cool so I committed for 2 pairs, I got:   M6p-Black M9-silver   I'm actually glad I got at least one M6 pair, in fact I would have preferred it to...

    Decent quality and comfortable in-ear headphones for my gf

    Thanks guys I'll check them out. I talked to her and she said that she'd prefer the IEMs for the isolation they provide.

    Decent quality and comfortable in-ear headphones for my gf

    Hey guys. She's got a first-gen nano. I told her to buy a decent pair of headphones right from the get go but to this day she is still sporting the stock buds. Every time I see them I have a strong urge to smash them in with a hammer. I recently rockboxed it, so I figure I'd improve her...

    Flash player: Flac and battery life

    Uh yeah, I just got home now... so... But thanks folks, I'll keep it flac and then think about transcoding when I run out of space.

    Flash player: Flac and battery life

    Hey guys. Just recently got an iAudio 7 16g and ideally I'd like to use the Flac format until the space becomes the limiting factor. My only concern is the battery life. Would it reduce it? If yes, will the difference be significant (compared to VBR V0 mp3s)? Thanks in advance.

    iAudio 5 went kaboom, in the market for a new player though I've narrowed the list, help me out

    I had an h120 waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day, I really loved it. I need a flash player though. I ended up ordering the 16g iAudio 7 , should be here on monday at the latest. Dunno, now I'm getting regrets on not getting D2. Not sure how useful video capability is to me.

    iAudio 5 went kaboom, in the market for a new player though I've narrowed the list, help me out

    Hey guys. I've happily been using my iAudio 5 for a number of years but it's pretty much become a paperweight. Slight shocks turn the player off completely and so it's clearly unsuited for me and my life as a computer programmer. Well not really, but I do jog bi-annually so it tends to get...

    Pictures of your portable rig part VIII

    I know this is a nub question, but: How come many of you use a mini-amp to power IEMs? I have Shure E3s and they would make me deaf at full volume on my iAudio 5.

    My E3s died, please recommend some canal phones

    Just an update: I sent it in for replacement. And now I got a new pair of E3s for 70 bucks.

    My E3s died, please recommend some canal phones

    Thanks guys. I'm very much interested in what Dura mentioned. If it's possible to replace the E3s for a minimal price, that would be ideal. I'm going to look on Shure Canada's website. If someone can offer a direct link to the appropriate contact number or email I would appreciate it. If...

    My E3s died, please recommend some canal phones

    By good bass, I meant something that sounds rich and booming, but not overpowering, I suppose. "Uh-oh ... some people on Head-Fi would think you were regressing." Oh for sure I'm regressing, no doubt about it, the E3s were quality phones. But back then I was into listening to my mp3 player...

    My E3s died, please recommend some canal phones

    Hey guys. I had a great run with my Shures E3s, but they've gone kaboom unfortunately. The sound output has been decreased significantly and it's like I'm playing my mp3 player at 20% volume when it's maxed out. I had a site ready to ship me the E4s for 190$ bucks like a year ago, should have...

    Upgrading from Sony Ex71 - Westone UM2

    How long did you have to wait for the back order?

    earphonesolutions 20% off promotion?

    It has expired anyway, I just tried.

    How cheap could I get the UM2s for?

    I took the plunge too, I went for the E4s for 195. My reasoning was that since I really loved my Shure E3s, I couldn't go wrong with the E4s, considering that they are just better overall. The UM2s would have been almost a 100 bucks CAD more. But really, who cares about money anyway... mostly...
