Hi, I'm looking into buying my first set of Grados and wanted some advice. These are going to be almost strictly used through an iPOD Classic and for portable use/around the house listening. Up until now I've used Koss KSC75s and V-Moda ear buds, but the KSC75s finally broke after about 5...

I'm going ot be picking up a 2, 4, or 8 GB flash player and wanted to know which company is the best way to go right now. Which has the best sound quality, features, etc?

Just wondering, but how do these two compare in terms of sound quality? I'm a bit of a basshead and can't live without a good separate treble/bass boost option and a user adjustable 5 band eq. Do they also both support album art, full screen album art pictures, and user defined...

I really need to pick up a 60GB+ dap and am down to either the X5 or iPOD 5G unless something amazing comes out during the upcomming CES. I'm basically just going for form factor, audio battery performance, etc and don't care too much about video playback. Apple's refurbished 5G iPODs for $230...

Just wondering if there's any info or speculation about new DAPs being shown at the next CES. iAudio in particular is due for a new flagship player to replace the X5, I'm praying for a 60GB X7 but it'll probably be another year before that happens.

Which of these two ear buds would you go for? Has anybody tried the V-moda buds? Any comparisons or oppinions?

I might be able to buy a used Gigabeat S60 for cheap with only the ac adapter. I don't think I'd need any of the other accessories, but can somebody tell me what the included software is and if it can be downloaded since I wouldn't have the startup CD? Also, how's the sound quality? And I'm used...

So is it just me or does it seem like there's a real shortage of high capacity HD players on the market today? I've been away from the scene for a while but it basically looks like iPOD, Zune, Toshiba Gigabeat S, Creative Zen Vision M, and iAudio X5 are the only real options. Is there anything...

My iAudio M3 is a bit too cumbersome anymore to take on the go with the whole remote setup and all of it's wires. I want a smaller 2GBish flash player to use when I'm on the go. So which of the Cowon iAudio T2, Samsung YEPP YP-Z5, and the iRiver Clix has the best sound quality? I'm kind of...

The Audio-Technica and Cresyn versions were tough to find before, but it seems to have gotten worse....now I can't even find the Creative OEM EP-880s. Does anybody know of an online store that still sells any of these?

Just a few quick questions about these buds. Primarily I'm looking for something that can replace my KSC75s.....I always end up using them for on the go use over my Senn MX450s due to the better sound quality. I came accross this site selling ATH-CM7s for $60, first of all, are these legit and...

I'm probably going to buy a set of Creative T5400 5.1 speakers for my computer, and I just wanted to know if it was possible to have all 5 speakers workign at the same time when playing music files. How does this work? Will all 5 speakers become active when in surround mode? And do only the...

Just wondering, but is there any major differences between the EQ that comes packaged with sound cards like a creative soundblaster and a software based EQ like jetaudio's or foobar's? Does the creative EQ interact with the soundcard while the software based eqs just work with their...

I'm completely new to this and just wanted to clear up a few things. First of all, what exactly IS the optical out that everybody keeps talking about? For a barebones computer to speaker/no amp, etc setup, is this something that I would even use? Then as far as surround goes, the similarly...

I'd like to turn my PC into a music center my dorm room without spending more than $50-$100 at the absolute most on both a sound card and speakers. My room is rather crampy, so I'm not exactly sure how high end I should go and if going all out would even be worth it when you consider my...

So it's gotten to the point where my iAUDIO M3 has finally been filled up and I'm having trouble finding folders/files to delete to make new room, this truly is a sad sad day for me. Unless somebody can come up with a way to swap out the M3's 20 GB h-drive with a 40GB successfully(warranty is...

I can't seem to find an online store that sells CM5s, does anybody know of such a place? I though thtye used to sell for $50, yet I see audiocubes selling CM3s for $60.......are CM3s bettersounding/newer than CM5s? Is there an online store that sells the Creative Labs rebranded version of the Cm5?

I want to replace my KSC-75s with something that will be clearly better and have a $70ish budget to do so. These are going to be my last headphones that I buy for quite some time, and I would like them to be easily powered by portable devices such as a Sony Discman or an iAUDIO M3 without the...

I'm trying to run all of my mp3s through mp3 gain, and I have a few questions. I'm currently running an analysis on all of my files, and just about every one is comming up at somewhere between -5 and -9(target rate is at the default 89 setting) and clipping is detected for every file. Is this...

I bought a Panasonic cassette adapter to use with my M3 and I'm a bit dissapointed with the results. I knew that there would be some frequency cutoff, but what I'm hearing is pretty bad and sub radio quality in terms of sound. The vocals were extremely muffled and distant sounding in particular...

I'm looking for a car charger for my M3, which needs a 5V adapter. I've noticed that PSP car chargers are everywhere, and I'm not 100% sure, but I thought that the PSP was a 5V compatable device. Can somebody who has a PSP check that for me? And if the PSP is a 5V device, would that mean that...

I'm looking for a cassette adapter so that I can use my M3 on the road. I've used the search function and read up all that I can on cassette adapters, but I have a few questions of my own. Based on the reviews at Amazon, it seems like the Monster adapter is surprisingly a poor product, and that...

My situation is as follows: I have an Iaudio M3, a Sony D-NF400, and a couple of old discman players. As for headphones, I currently have the stock Cresyn buds that came with my M3, Sennheiser MX450s, and Koss KSC75s. Since the MX450s and KSC75s are considered to be good/cheap solutions for...

Hi, I just received my Senn MX450s and I really like them a lot and they are a good match for my iAudio M3. They have a fair amount of oomph and good overall tonal characteristics, and they also seem to fit my ears 100% perfectly. But I was also wondering if either the Panasonic HJE50 or Sharp...
