Hi Justin, I loved your Pico DACéAmp so much that I want this as well! Please include me in your first batch at $299. Color: Black USB Cable: 6 ft Shipping to: Toronto, Canada

I have the v5 Atoms for my desktop and they sound fantastic. Some people worry that bookshelf speakers don't perform very well up close at the typical desktop range, but I found that with the right positioning (angled to point a bit behind you, placed fairly close to either side of the monitor...

Jamming along with MS2

I have loved these IEMs for quite some time (luckily with no cable issues!) and I personally found them to improve slightly with an amp (Pico). I think it's just a testament to how great and efficient they are at what they do: delivering engaging, accurate sound with amazing isolation...

Unfortunately, I don't believe that any IEM in that price range will be able to really compete with the SR225 in terms of presenting guitars in rock/metal. Fortunately, the SF5 pro is a good IEM for all kinds of music, and if you can stretch your budget a little, they should be able to keep you...

I too use the KSC75 for running, and they are more than adequate in terms of sound and comfort. I find that I can loop the clips entirely over my ears, right down to my earlobe, and then they are nice and snug.

As a heads up to others in Canada, I just received my pico (#257) in Toronto. And as everyone else has said extensively, pictures do not do it justice... it is so small! Thank you very much Justin for your great product and service. Best regards, Jon

I just thought I should post on this thread to show my support for SE530. Although they cannot compete with my big cans at home, on noisy buses and trains they are simply invaluable. I always pity the others who need to crank up their ipod earbuds to even hear their music over the roar of public...

I like to take turns when I'm investing in music vs. gear. So one month might be mostly gear, the next month only music. Except I usually purchase things in chunks, and chunks of gear are much more expensive than chunks of music. So as of now, I have more invested in gear (but actually not by a...

I want the HD580

I got myself a new video ipod nano! 8GB, silver, with a nice clear case. I must say that I am very impressed with this small, thin device. Apple did a pretty good job with this one.

I really enjoy my SE530, especially for metal/pop, but for your preferred genres, I would seriously consider the Triple.fi 10 (which is what I presume you meant). They are a little more laid back, have amazing clarity, and are better balanced when presenting the whole sonic spectrum, especially...

I can definitely relate to the OP. After fooling around with IEM's for over 2 years, and trying the standard repertoire of Senns/AKGs/Denons, I bought an SR60 and thoroughly enjoyed them. I am now also dangerously contemplating the RS1...

Sorry about the smashed up leg! I'm glad you pulled through to return to your speakers. And who knows? Maybe when we realize that we take so many things for granted (like health, or hearing for that matter) we take a step back and learn to appreciate the essentials in life, and forget about...

Haha, I love hearing/reading Konglish. It seems to be a popular trend with the young people these days, as they are able to communicate with older first generation Koreans but also stay sort of "hip" by throwing in the English. My parents, however, don't find it amusing, so I have always spoken...

Or the farmer could have trained his animals to beat the intruders into mush. The horse could have probably given half of those people a concussion with a few well-aimed kicks.

I'm so sorry that you didn't win! I've lost a few auctions in the dying seconds because some sniper outbid me by a dollar or two. It's frustrating. But you win some and lose some, and you usually end up saving lots on ebay. Best of luck with the next auction!

Good choice on the SE530! They just suck me right into my music and take me into a world of sound, far away from the noisy commute I have to make every day.

Both are good IEM's, and I can definitely understand why many people would prefer the TF10. I, however, am still sticking with my SE530 for their mid and bass impact. A lot of what I'm listening to these days (power metal, r&b) just sounds so vibrant and alive with SE530. Undoubtedly the UE's...

I like the PX100 for workouts. Cheap, light, and lots of oomph for those moments when you're lifting a few too many pounds.
