Regular price is $14.99. Shipping to me (PA) is $8.78, UPS ground for a grand total of $20.77. HTH someone decide if these are worth it. Diana

You may want to consider the Senn PX200. It is closed and small, very portable. With a good fit against my ears, the isolation is just right. I am a stay-at-home mom with three girls 6 and under. They make quite a bit of racket sometimes. With these headphones, I can still hear the music well...

Eric Clapton - One More Key, One More Rider (Disc 1) - My Father's Eyes First listen. I'm finding a great deal of enjoyment discovering Clapton.

I read the thread referenced by the OP. Isn't the concern with plugging the 'phones into the line out? The headphone out has an amp, right? Or did I really misunderstand? Diana

Spies, Music of Espionage, "Kiss Me"

I wonder if they are going to set those up (or already have) in Naperville. That was the worst PO I have ever been in. Always 10+ people waiting, no matter the time of day. If the entire Chicago area got the kiosks, it was a good place to try them out. My current middle-of-nowhere PO is...

I have the HD280s and would *never* think of wearing them in public. The band is very wide over the top of the head. People would likely stare. The smiley is fairly accurate. My avatar is my almost 4yo wearing them. I haven't seen the A500s on a head before, but why are they not under...

If you decide MP3 for your iRiver, go to http://www.bestmp3guide.com/ for setting up EAC and LAME. FLAC files are not the smallest lossless compressed available, so for archive purposes you may want something else (Hydrogen Audio's lossless forum). If you need them uncompressed often, though...
