I currently use sansa fuze, however it is definitely not enough to drive my reo, will the cowon s9 do it? Anyone have any comments on the cowon s9. I do not want to carry a portable amp with me though. thanks.

What I want is comfort and isolation. Decent amount of quality bass, and clarity. Which iems would suit me based on what I'm looking for? I will be using sansa fuze, I do not want to use portable amps, as I find them not very convenient. Best bang for value would be another factor.

Which one of the above is the most bang for the buck, considering their market price currently? This is my first step into IEMs, and I want to get a good pair to test out. Hopefully these can compare to headphones like sennheiser hd650, or jvc dx1000.

Sennheiser HD 1000 Charleston Higher Than HD 800 650 - eBay (item 270541219555 end time Mar-11-10 04:45:21 PST) It's called Sennheiser hd1000...claimed to be better than hd800 and hd650. I wonder how it sounds like.......

Well, currently my setup is quite bad...laptop -->microadvantage sound card--> little dot 2--->hd650 Everyone tells me that I need an DAC, can someone please explain what is it that i need? and how might I improve my system?

I previously own the hd650, and was going to try the denon d2000. However should I do the markl mod or upgrade to denon d5000 or d7000? I really feel there's not a major difference between 2000, 5000, and 7000. However I might be wrong...

I would like to buy a headphone that is more detailed than the sennheiser hd650 and a bigger soundstage as well...any recommendations?

Does the extra cost for the ATH-W5000 justify its improvement over the ATH-W1000?
