Quote: That seems strange, as I thought they were supposed to be lighter than the SRH 840. I wonder if they are including the weight of the zippered hardshell box in that equation?

First I want to say thank you for all the responses. It is coming down to the following earbuds: ATH-CM7 SV Aluminum ATH-CM700ti Titanium Sony MDR-EX500LP It appears that the CM7 and EX500 are both warm sounding, while the 700ti focuses on detail. I may lean towards the 700ti considering...

OP, Fantastic Pictures! I appreciate your time in capturing them in a high res, stabilized setting.

I am in the market for some earbuds for work. I need them to be earbuds and not IEM's because I cannot stand things in my ear canal. I find earbuds are better at letting sound in from the outside world vs IEM as well. This is important because I listen at somewhat low volume from my Cowon...

The owner of the store stated that the SR-60i specifically came with flat pads, however he was unable to purchase any other Grado headphones with flat pads. If this was outdated information, I do apologize but I was quite specific in my questions of the owner. EDIT: Looking at the grado...

I would strongly recommend purchasing from a vendor that allows returns. Both of the manufacturers you are looking into have a very unique sound. For what its worth, I think the Grado's would be fine for you, provided you are not bothered by the comfort factor. Grado's with bowls may be...

This thread is quite interesting. Fairly recently, at a store in Schaumburg, IL they had the SR-60i, 80i, 125i and 225i. The only ones with flat pads were the 60i's. I also find it interesting that some do not hear substantial differences from the various models. I find that each model is...

Perhaps these wiki articles on Thrash Metal and Speed Metal would be to your interest.

I actually fell in love with the Zune Marketplace far before I seriously considered the Zune HD. I had the biggest *click* moment today when I realized that I could just keep the Zune HD untethered forever, using Wi-Fi to grab all the content i'm interested in. I use the Zune software on my...

Aye, there is and it is checked on both computers. I may be using too high a resolution art file (640x640) for Zune Software to understand, or it may be the album art file size is too large, but the software does change the artwork on some albums to a lower res version. I will check on...

The main reason i'm asking is because i've fallen in love with the Zune Pass. I completely love the ability to explore so many artists as fast as I want. The part I do not like however is having to hand over my existing music folder to Zune software and watch as it alters my artwork. I have...

Zune HD Owners, Can anyone confirm the following? Will the Zune HD work with ( not necessarily synchronize ) any software other than the Zune 4.0 Software? Example: MediaMonkey, zAlternator, Windows Media Player 12, Windows Explorer (drag-and-drop?) Thanks in advance!

iPhone/iPod Touch form factor and overall build quality, full size flush mount touchscreen OLED, BBE+ enhancements and sound quality, physical buttons, 24 hours battery life, ~2-3 hour ac power recharge time, 64/128 flash, sdhc flash expansion slot, cowon-esque codec support, decent external...

This is an interesting announcement. I wonder if this is a technical project or if there is some corporate push looking for a product out of this.

Again, thanks for all the suggestions! I have decided to go with The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan as my first real album entrance into his work. A number of factors went into this decision such as 1) its the second studio album, this album is the first of which is Dylan's major songwriting debuts...

There has been a lot of heated debate about the Zune HD on these boards, but very little quantity of personal reviews regarding the unit. I thought I would mention this review, as I felt the article is a very thorough review of the Zune HD. The go over the device in depth, listing off all the...

I find that the HD280 clamps uncomfortably so. If you listen through headphones for longer stretches (over an hour at a time) it may be worthwhile to take this into account.

Where are you finding the DCC gold remastered editions?

I've been researching this device as well. I spent a few hours today reading reviews and watching videos regarding its features. There is little subjective summary save for the screen being a highlight. The Wireless-N, GPS and other features serve as secondary to me so I'm tending to gloss over...

I'm a little confused by what I see on these forums. There is a decidedly varied number of users here. With the sheer population of the forum, that is to be expected. Certainly, I am able to comprehend this simple fact. Yet.. what I do not understand is the number of people whom feeling...
