Klipsch Reference ONE for $75 shipped, after coupon code "TECHBONE," here:  http://www.wwstereo.com/Klipsch/1013732

Quote: I bought a different one, 'used-like new,' from a different seller, "Muze-Art" :)

FYI, Amazon still has a pair of the used beyerdynamic DT235, via 3rd party, for under $30 shipped, here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00198BY48/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used   Just received mine and they were in perfect condition.

Quote: FWIW, I have the Galaxy S3 and the MEE CC51P, which also has a mic, and the mic does work with my Galaxy, so I'm guessing the odds are very good the SP51's mic will also work with this phone. Wasn't sure if you were looking for confirmation on that, but there you go. Sort of.   ...

Can anyone tell me whether the Technical Pro HPT990 always comes with the silver metal carrying case? Not sure whether different sellers may have different 'versions' or 'bundles.' Thanks for any info!

Some other ideas (Amazon prices):     Panasonic RPHJE120 ... <$6 Philips SHE9550/28 ... $11-14 Philips SHE6000/28 ... $13 JVC HAFX8 ... $6-8

Any info/ETA on the E18?

E12 looks beautiful... will it accept USB audio from a Galaxy S3?

I will throw a few out for consideration, based on personal experience and/or OCD-level research/reading here in the forums:   Monoprice 8323 ( currently $23.20 plus shipping) (portable?) Philips SHL9075A/28 (got mine for $29.99 shipped from JR.com/Amazon) JVC HA-S400 ($25 shipped...

Quote: Thanks! Decided to give it a try since no Staples in my area have the Sony.

Here's an inventory checker I found that may help in finding the Sony DR-ZX701IP at Staples in your areas:  http://checkinventory.home.comcast.net/~checkinventory/   Hope it helps.

Can anyone comment on a comparison of deals: Brainwavz HM3 for $38.50 at MP3Nation, vs. Koss TBSE1 for $49.99 at Tuesday Morning, vs. Sony MDR-ZX701IP for $39.50 at Staples. What's your 1-2-3 rank here? Thanks for any comments!

So is an E11 even useful with a Galaxy S3 (or any Android phone)?

Quote:   The CriCri+ has a DAC though, doesn't it? I guess the regular CriCri would be the Hippo to try -- does it have USB? (Still looking for an answer on my USB question above, though) How does E11 compare to the Hippos?

Philips Bluetooth SHB9100/28 (on-ear) is available for $54.99 at Ben's:  http://www.bensoutlet.com/products/philips-bluetooth-stereo-headset   Looks like it might be the bluetooth version of their 9075, which I just obtained and am very pleased with. Anyone have experience with the 9100?

Altec Lansing MZX2071S IEMs are $9.99 with free shipping at Buy.com:  http://www.buy.com/prod/altec-lansing-noise-reducing-in-ear-headphones-w-dynamic-sound-inline/235775282.html   I have no idea who makes these for them, or if they are any good.... Anyone?

Quote:   It is my understanding that the E11 has USB out? Is that correct? If so, would it be possible, and if so, better, to connect the E11 to an Android phone such as the Galaxy S3 via that method rather than by 3.5mm? I think I've read that USB would bypass the Galaxy S3 amp, making...

If I were going to just use the built-in DAC, what would be a recommended amp under $100 for the Galaxy S3? I'm guessing it would need to have USB, is that correct (vs. something like the Airhead)? FiiO E11? Thanks for any info.
