Preferably at retail outlets as this is for an impatient family member. Previously they used the Philips O'Neill The Stretch but multiple sets have broken under warranty at Future Shop and the product is no longer available. I'm not certain if they'll shop there again but here is the site if...

Title says it all really. Looking to get these as a gift for someone by Monday of next week. This rules out online stores or the forums here as I imagine shipping will be costly and perhaps not possible in time. However if anyone knows reputable vendors in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario...

The cap that secures the wire to the can is cracked and the wire is loose, it can be pushed into the can a fair amount. If I manipulate the wire with my fingers squeezing and pushing it up a bit into the can I can get audio. I'm wondering if this is an issue that can be fixed and if so does it...

Hey head-fiers, I've come here pretty much any time I need headphone advice and never been disappointed. I am looking into purchasing some IEMs to use with my 3rd generation ipod nano. I can only afford one pair and am looking to use them at the gym, sleeping in bed, traveling, etc... so they...

The cord from the left can to the connector snapped. A music shop in my area quoted me $20-$40 CAD for the work but was concerned about finding the right cabling. So my questions are what cable would be preferable for my headphones if I am looking for something cheap and durable and is the quote...

Just wondering if it is worth my while to purchase an independent sound card or if the difference would not be negligible with my 5.1 Logitech surround sound speakers.

Title says it all, I am speaking with Enigma Audio as well as A Pure Sound but don't have price points yet and my concern is that shipping swill cost me an arm and a leg since I live in Canada. edit: I guess providing a location may help, I live in Toronto Ontario Canada and am willing to...

Got these a whole two ****ing weeks ago and the cord to the left ear gets caught on some small corner in my car without me noticing and is yanked from point where it meets the right. Incredibly frustrated as I just spent what is a lot of money to me to get these and now I am without them. I live...

I apologize if this isn't the correct forum but I wasn't sure who was the administrator to contact to ask which as, please move it if necessary. Title says it all, I have noticed a significant price difference between US and Canadian providers of audio equipment and was wondering what my...

I'm looking to purchase a pair of small portable speakers to use with my ipod nano and was wondering if you audio nerds had thoughts.

150$CAD or less shipped, I prefer closed cans or IEMs personally but am open to any suggestions. I'm searching the Head-fi forums solely right now but got beat out of two pairs of ad700s already . Currently I am looking at this:http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f10/fs...a-sold-418764/ but am weary...

So it's that time again, my Creative IEMs are useless as the wiring for the right ear managed to pull loose enough from the piece to render it dead. Anyways I am curious as to if it is worth my time to check out some sites for used headphones or if I'm better purchasing brand new. If it helps I...

It happens almost yearly, I come to this little slice of heaven on the internet and seek wisdom from the audiogurus. I've glanced over the recommendations thread and visited the headphonereviews.org site but still can't make a decision. Currently I am using a pair of Sony MDR-280 stereo...

Hopefully my title was frustrating enough to get some true audiophiles to come lecture me on my inadequecies. Basically I am looking for something in the 75-125$ range for my ipod nano. I know my two choices are drastically different but they seem like quality headphones I could enjoy, if for...

Looking for advice on a new DAP as the market appears to be flooded with options. Durability is very important to me because I want this thing to actually last and work rather than die out three times (thanks Rio!). I don't care about extras at all be it video, recording,storage size(2gb min...

Best Buy just told me that all I need to do is hand in my Karma again for a diagnostic and they will refund my money, tax included. This seems for the best considering while I loved my little Karma it clearly had its problems and also means I get to hunt for a new mp3 player.

I'm a huge fan of cans and think it is time to step up from my subpar Sony's so I'm looking for advice from the forum you go to get advice about things like this. Ideally I want a pair of cans that can be enjoyed without a portable amp and doesn't let in ambient sounds or make the whole world...

I know these are two completely different mediums in respects to DAP. However I think I've decided to get one of the two. Some points they both share are they are well known for sound quality, decent battery life and not an ipod. The Rio obviously has size and gapless going for it while the...

So I have heard good things about these guys and was thinking of buying from their online store. I could get a Zen Touch for $230 and a Rio Karma for $240. However I am curious if anyone has experience and knows what duties/taxes etc would be on a product shipped to Canada.

Just wondering if someone could give me a big picture view of the possibilites in respect to a 20gb DAP. However money is an issue as I don't want to be spending over 400 CAD, to give you fellas an idea at Best Buy a Rio Karma is 380, Creative Zen Touch is 400 and Apple iPod 20gb is 420. Any and...

So I've toyed with the idea of getting a DAP for ages now and I've read a lot of the threads. Whenever I think of getting a DAP again I have a mental checklist like it has to have this many gigs, this long of battery life, etc... So I thought hey wouldn't it be great if there was some sort of...

Okay I am looking for the absolute worst things one will find by purchasing this alluring product. I want to know what I am buying and I think this is a better way of gauging whether or not it's worth it. Also a few questions: 1. Will I have any trouble in respect to copyright programming, I...

I've noted a lot of popularity with this as far as cd/mp3 players are concerned and so far have been quite satisfied with my purchase as well. I especially enjoy fiddling with the EQ settings. Unfortunately I have yet to find the sweet spot for my Sony CD280s but someone's suggestion of one...
