In a review at Headphonia, the author says about the H6 that "the cable has a mic control, making it impossible to use with all of my desktop amps at home". What does he mean by that? What problems does the mic cause? Would I need to get another cable in order to use the H6 with my FiiO E17?

My search has come to an end. The B&O H6 has all the qualities I was looking for. Bought them today. I think the sound is terrific. Can't believe that anyone find them lacking in the bass. Thanks for all suggestions!

No reviews of the MK2 yet?

Too bad, they look so nice! Guess I'm waiting for a demo or review of the Sony MDR-1RMK2 then.

Hi! I just got the E07K. I've tested it with a USB signal from my computer, and Klipsch x10i IEM's. There is a small amount of hiss from the device. It's barely noticeable, but definitely there. I also find the sound a bit warm and veiled.   How does this compare to the E17? Will the hiss and...

Thank you, for the suggestions. Actually, I have an old XTRA X-1 Pro amp, that I plan to hook up to the UCA202. I assume that will be an improvement. Or is the DAC in the UCA202 inferior to FiiO and ELE?

I'm usually streaming music from Wimp (320 kbps AAC) on my laptop, through a Behringer UCA202.

The P7 looks promising!

Here's a video of them, from a Norwegian newspaper's website: link. And they sure look good on her.

I think 2 GB would be plenty. After doing some research, and looking into the options suggested here, I'm thinking that the SanDisk Sansa Express would do the job. The only problem as far as I can see from the manual, is that it only works with Windows XP. So if I wanted to transfer files...

Hi! I'm looking for an MP3 player that can also work as a memory stick for storing random data like documents, pictures etc. That means that it should have a built in USB port. Price range is up to $100. What are my best options here?

According to specs, the Vibez does not have a line-out for connecting to amps and such. Can any of you who have actually used one confirm this? My Sony player has a software setting for using the headphone out as a line-out. Does the Vibez sport any such feature?

Here's my updated rig:

It is very doubtful that "burning in" purely electronical equipment such as CD players and amplifiers will have any effect at all. Imagine, how would your computer work, if solid state electronics would change performance characterstics over it's lifespan?

It's really to bad that he didn't ship outside of the US. If any of you guys here bought a pair but don't really need them, I'd be happy to let you pass them on to me.

Sorry for the noob question, but which Shure's are these? Quote: Originally Posted by Towert7

I'm doing some upgrading of my portable audio equipment this summer. At the moment, my list looks like this: Sources Sony NW-HD5 Sony PSP Amplifiers Xtra X-1 Pro (on it's way in the mail as we speak) Headphones Sennheiser PX-100 Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 + two other pairs that I...

Has there ever been performed any blind test that proves that these differences are actually noticable?
