To be honest, I'm not a HUGE fan of in-ears, with my experiencs so far. The only one's I have experienced were the ones that came with my Sony NWZ-A816 and RE0. Maybe it's because every time I have them in, I'm walking, biking, or trying to run, so there's a lot of microphonics. Perhaps In-ears...

Hey all! I'm looking to upgrade from my Sennheiser HD 201, and was wondering if the sound signature of the HD 25-1-II was similar. I tried out my friend's Grade SR-80, and I thought that they sounded too forward, too bright, thus causing me fatigue. I really like my HD 201 because both...

I love Cowon. Even though I've never owned one of their products. The time has come for me to change that, and I'm thinking about getting the S9 or the I9. Basically, I could drop the ball and go with a 8gb S9 or a 16gb I9 (same price). Both should have great sound quality, but of...

The title may describe my question, but here it is anyway. I'm pretty certain I'm going to get the cowon s9 once I get my paycheck. So has anyone tried using the YUIN pk1's on with the s9 without an additional amp? I'm curious of the s9's amp is strong enough. If that question...

I'm not sure where this should go, but here's my question. For a music library that is mostly V2 and V0 mp3 files, how good can the headphone/amp be before the impurities can be heard? Like, i'd expect the BEST Grado and Sennheiser full-size headphones would reveal flaws is the ripping and...

I recently bought an Ipod Gen 5 30 GB off a friend for $50. It is in good condition. However, being an owner of a Sony NWZ-A816, I realized that the sound quality of the Headphone out on the Ipod was audibly inferior to the headphone out on the Sony. The 30 GB of storage is definitely useful...

I am seriously interested in this headphone amp. It is tiny (should pair up well size-wise with my Sony NWZ-A816 as well as driving power, b/c of weak sony amp). The price is also within my range, $100-$120-ish. Only question is, will this amp reveal too much in my recordings? The highest...

Once again, here is another headphone recommendation question. Currently, I own AKG k81dj headphones, and they are excellent. However, they don't really work well while riding a bike while wearing a helmet and sunglasses. I wear a helmet most of the time, but my being able to wear my...

I've searched the thread for enlightenment, but to no avail. So I present you this question. As many people know, the Sony amp is pretty weak. I'm wondering how well the NWZ-A818 can drive the ksc75 (60-ohm). And how does the sandisk clip drive the ksc75? I'm looking for a biking...

I currently do not own any really great headphones/IEMs. I purchased the Sony NWZ-A816 mp3 player, and I am using the Sony MDR-EX082 headphones that came with it. I am looking to upgrade my headphones, and I was wondering which headphones were worth upgrading to. I am looking at sub-$100...
