    KOSS PortaPro 25th Anniversary Edition [Photos + Review]

    That's a terrific deal!  I paid about $50 for mine there earlier this year (had to fly out a couple days later for an important trip).   FYI folks, the PortaPro in the picture is that of the anniversary edition.  The one BestBuy has in stock is likely the current all black version with thin...

    MEElectronics M6 Review

    ^+1   The great thing about the hybrids, at least in my experience, is that the colored core of each one if very, very resilient.  I've gotten them to stretch over M6 posts as well as larger ones like the M9 just fine.   I also agree with people's comments that the M6's sound is good...

    Cowon D2+ vs. Sony Walkman NWZS545: Need help deciding

    Thanks, eurcariote :)   I was the OP of the topic and now that I own a Sony NWZS545, I feel I can provide some basic, though audio newbie, comments. :)  Keep in mind that I consider myself an amateur at describing sound, though I like to think that I can pick out sound details at an average...

    Cowon D2+ vs. Sony Walkman NWZS545: Need help deciding

    I may just give my Fuze and Clips to some family members and pick up a clip+ at some point anyway.  I love the form factor, and I too have heard similar things about the EQ on them.   Now, back to my PortaPros and 545... ;)

    Cowon D2+ vs. Sony Walkman NWZS545: Need help deciding

    Just wanted to follow-up with everyone and mention how much I'm enjoying the NWZS545 so far.  Overall the sound quality is superb, and it's now my go-to player!   Lovin': The UI is pretty simple and clean, and I like having the extra Option button to quickly tweak the EQ and settings...

    SoundMAGIC PL30 impressions

    I'm having problems keeping the foam tips staying in place on the posts of the PL-30's.  Am I just putting them on wrong?  They seem too loose and squishy.

    Skullcandy Ink'd Review (yes, I'm serious)

    Ah, gotcha, joker.  Yeah, it seems like even the cabling for this series varies.  Seems like a terrible oversight on SkullCandy's part; I hate putting IEMs in the wrong ears! :)

    Skullcandy Ink'd Review (yes, I'm serious)

    I own a pair of these and I'm certain they do have L and R markings.  I'll check when I get home, but for now look at where the cable goes into the IEM, just above the flex grooves.  They are mega-tiny, but they should be there.   I agreed with your assessment of them, and even if I didn't...

    KOSS PortaPro 25th Anniversary Edition [Photos + Review]

    Thanks rasmushorn!  I guess I'll start with their customer service first - maybe it's just me and my ears since I've had a cold the last week or so.  My ears are off-and-on clear or slightly dulled these days.   Update: I was able to get an immediate response from Koss' online customer...

    Thinksound Thunder & Rain IEM Reviews – The Eco-Friendly IEM (or More Wood) - NOTE: Thunder will be renamed TS01

    I like the sound signature of my MEElectronic's M6 IEMs.  I like the texture of the bass and low end and the overall balance lows, mids and highs.  With that in mind, would the bass level of the Rains be for me, or would you folks recommend that I take a look at the Thinksound Thunders?

    KOSS PortaPro 25th Anniversary Edition [Photos + Review]

    I love these cans!  In fact, the best testament to their quality is how perfect they are when playing the DJ Max games on my PSP-3000.  I got a warmer, punchier sound, and more importantly I got wonderful sound separation; that is a BIG deal for me with that game series since some note patterns...

    Deal Alert! PortaPro $29.99 On Sale At Best Buy!

    I truly, truly love these cans!  I love the sound signature, the separation and yes, the LOOKS!  I have the nearly all-black Best Buy version, too.  I just wish I could find the ones with the blue drivers - those are heavenly-looking to me :)

    New JVC Air Cushions

    Thanks for the impressions!  The original Air Cushions were a great bargain (I got mine for under $20 new earlier this year), and now the FX-67 seem like an even better bargain.   I use my MEElectronics M6 and Soundmagic PL-30 IEMs almost exclusively now, but I still keep my FX-66's on hand...

    Replacement for EP-630

    I second that MEElectronics M9 suggestion.  Great set of IEM's for the price.  I used to own 630's and I think the M9's are a great (and less expensive) step up based on your needs.

    Durable headphones

    I don't have any recommendations, but I do have some suggestions: -Try wearing your headphones so that the cord goes down your back instead of the front -Use some sort of cord clip to keep the slack closer to your chest -Wear the wire under your shirt (I only do this for when I wear an...

    M9 Replacement ear tips recommendations

    +1 for the Sony Hybrid eartips. In the US you can easily find them at any Best Buy store for $7.99 for a pack of various sizes, but I'm unsure about Canada. Rugged, internally color-coded and useful for "standard" IEM posts (Creative 630/Skullcandy Ink'd/JVC Air Cushions/MMelectronics M9...

    Cowon D2+ vs. Sony Walkman NWZS545: Need help deciding

    Thanks for the terrific comments, 1audioz! It turns out that the day you responded was the day I found the last NWZS545BLK at my local Toys R Us for only $109 - 16GB to boot, too! You and everyone else were spot-on about the sound. It's nice, warm sound signature as you said. So far it pairs...

    Sansa Fuze 8Gb freezes constantly

    Try reformatting the card using the Panasonic Memory Card Formatting software: SD Memory Card Formatting Software | SD Memory Card | Digital AV | Consumer Products | Support | Panasonic Global I managed to salvage an 8GB microSD card that was seemingly unformattable. I was originally using...

    Cowon D2+ vs. Sony Walkman NWZS545: Need help deciding

    I've done the research on these forums but I'm still trying to decide between buying a Cowon D2+ or a Sony Walkman NWZS545. I'm currently using a Sansa Fuze and listening with MEElectronics M6, M9, Koss Portapros and JVC Air Cushions FX66. The Normal EQ of the Fuze is great, but I'm really...

    The NEW Sansa Clip+

    ^I own a Clip and found navigating to be pretty snappy, even without having a larger screen. The overall design and form factor (not to mention sound) outweigh the screen size. For what it's worth, the OLED screen can be adjusted in Settings and has remained bright, crisp and fresh-looking in...

    Replace Sansa Fuze rotary control (or should I ditch for E280?)

    I love the sound quality of my Fuze, but I dislike the overly sensitive wheel and how it protrudes out from the face of the unit. I have to carefully drop it into my pants pocket for fear of changing the volume. Even then a gentle press like when I try to walk into a bus and sit down ends up...

    recommend me an IEM for sleeping.

    Based on my experience, I can heartily recommend the JVC Air Cushions. I'm a side-sleeper, so the built-in cushions help brace the inner back part of my ear from getting poked while the overall shape helps to keep the IEM's in place. The cord is pretty thick and so far no tears to the cabling...

    Anyone know these 'buds?

    I don't know what those buds are, but in all honesty, throw them away. It's one thing to use used IEM's you've purchased from reputable sellers in the FS/T forum, but in this case it's muddy and you found it in a field! Yuck!
