I use this 5 way USB AC international adapter shop.brando.com It works great with my Nokia N800, N95, Sansa Clip, iBasso D10, iRiver H140, Fiiio E5, iPhone, and many other devices that suit 5V charging. Being able to chage 5 devices simultaneously is a big space saver too.

I find them very comfortable over long periods, they have been in my ears for up to 6 hours at a stretch with no issues. Also they provide a perfect seal and, with that, the best isolation it is possible to achieve with the IE8s. On the cost side, a plus point is that the moulds are...

@james444 Thanks for the post. I am sorry that the FADs are not living up to expectations. Being dynamic drivers perhaps they will benefit from even more burn in? Either way I look forward to further impressions.

Hi Anouk, glad you found the thread, I thought this would appeal to you. Thanks for getting PJ to update their site. Their price is 1,820 Yen more than most but that is not much - equivalent to $20. And loads cheaper than the eBay link that was posted a page or two back. I have dealt with...

@nc8000, nice gesture. I am sure you will get back shed loads of karma. Can I join the lottery too? Thanks.

At last my full moulds have arrived snuggled inside a very useful carry pouch. Monika the audiologist did a great job with the impressions and the fit is perfect providing a total seal. But how to insert them? After some trial and error, inserting, pushing, twisting, I finally found the...

Finally, today, I got to the ACS audiologist in Shepherds Bush London. Her initial advice was to have my ears checked and de-waxed as wax build up could inhibit the depth of the impression. The impressions came out of my ears with a satisfying 'pop' and, if the final custom moulds maintain...

Sorry that you are so disappointed, mine sounded fine to me out of the box but then I was coming to them from Shure E2Cs so no wonder. I think you should reserve final judgment until many hours of burn in have passed. The changes are much more dramatic than one might imagine and the process...

DP but I only clicked once, honest.

Was that a joke???? Oh dear, too late now.

Just a thought, since Rockbox developers do it for the love why not give an Amp3 to one who is especially keen on the device and ask them to produce an interface. The Amp3 could be on permanent loan so as to ensure future software upgrades. Or doesn't it work like that?
