Quote: Haha, sorry about that. I planned on coming but I've been incredibly busy these past weeks, so it wasn't possible. Maybe cooper and I can meet up in the near future though! Nano meet round 2?   Anyway, looks like you had a good collection of gear there. Hope to see you later!

Quote: Hey, I live in Shanghai! I would love if we could all meet up and sample gear (I am currently in the market for a portable amp, but as of now I just have my iPhone 3gs and my jh16s, so I have little to bring to the table). Let me know.

Could an adapter be used (mini to balanced) or is a recable necessary?

I have seen people (mainly shigzeo) claim that with multiple balanced armature earphones, an amp that is capable of outputting at 0ohms is most desirable. My question is, is this true? What difference does it make in the sound if an amp can or can't output at 0 ohms? And most importantly...

I purchased my pair of Westone 3s in December 2008, and because of the cable coming unbraided I sent them in for RMA in late June 2009. Westone's service was very good during the whole process and quickly mailed me a new pair. Now, I have recently noticed that the slider no longer holds the...

Since most of my on-the-go listening is done on the subway, train, and while walking, I mostly try to travel light in terms of my rig. So because of this I was initially very attracted to the form factor of the 2nd generation ipod Shuffle. I figured, it had enough space for a few hours of music...

No offense, but with the music that you listed (mostly all ultra-compressed modern recordings) you are likely going to miss much of the gain you would receive from these cans (especially something so revealing like JH13). I own Westone 3s also and recordings like the music you listed really...

I'm hearing (on Westone 3s) some distortion in the low frequencies during the heavy parts... is it just me? It really spoiled my enjoyment of the album. I hope it's fixable and not part of the recording (clipping?) Anyone else have this problem?

I am looking at the Edition 8, but most of my listening is when I am out and about in the city so I would need to pair it with a portable amp... which amp(s) could truly match these headphones? I wouldn't want an amp that would be limiting their potential in any way... would I have to go for the...

Right when the Westone 3 was released, I purchased it from a store in Shanghai for 1980RMB, which is about $289. They are completely legitimate and the prices are still about the same if you check around taobao. After doing a quick search I found these IE8s É*º£Èû¶û Sennheiser Æì½¢ IE8 ¶úÈû...

Hey. I have Westone 3s and want to try this mod, would it work?

Someone that owns a P-51 and W3: could you explain in detail the difference in sound (soundstage, bass, mids, treble, instrument separation, etc.) between an un-amped W3 and adding a P-51? I am really tempted as I hear they have great synergy but would like to know people's personal experiences...

I currently only own Westone 3s, and while I enjoy them, I want a full-size can also. I have been looking at Denon's line (D2000-7000) and also am very interested in DX1000 and others in that range. The only issue is that almost all of my listening is on the go (walking, on the bus, on the...
