Quote:   pj325is, I'm sorry to hear of your problems. I'd be very disappointed--probably quite pissed--if mine dies after a week. If you don't like the sound, you don't like the sound. I'm quite interested in the UE-700 myself. Please do share your experiences with those. I'm...

Quote: And that is actually a very good and real reason as to why 99.9% of the general public don't care about SACD and in fact can't tell the difference between a redbook CD and a SACD. They don't care about the math behind it. While the math may suggest there is a difference, to normal...

  Quote:   I have slept with IEMs (specifically Sony 51/71 and Creative 630) on a daily basis for years and years. As much as I love the HJE-900, they are definitely not comfortable for use during sleep. My ears really hurt the next morning--and this coming from a person who has slept...

Quote: Sorry to bring alive an older thread, but I just got a pair of the HJE-900 and would like to find the middle size UE tips. Does this guy ever carry the middle size? He only has small and large and there's no contact email address to contact him to ask. Thanks.

So unfair!   Sony MDR-EX76 In Ear Headphones £9.99 Free Delivery     Sennheiser CX300 In-Ear Headphones (Black) from £6.79 Free Delivery   Sennheiser CX300-II Precision ECO Headphones (White) from £10.79 Free Delivery   Creative EP-630 In Ear Headphones from £5.35...

Quote: Frack! Is play.com for real? Is it like a UK Amazon? They have absolutely unbelievable prices! £69.99 Free Delivery for the Panasonics.   If I lived in the UK, is there VAT on top of that purchase price? If so, how much is the tax?

Quote: Appreciate the honest disclosure, as opposed to stringing potential customers along so they can't purchase other 'phones which are in stock. I went with the Panasonic HJE900 because they were less expensive and most of all in stock. I couldn't wait any longer.   Good luck...

Quote:   My fear is breaking the wires off a $150 pair of phones and having no recourse to fix/replace the cable. I'm really happy that the Panasonic has replaceable cables. I stayed with $30 IEMs before because I didn't want to pay $150 every few months for replacements. I'm going to...

Comfort for sleeping is high on my criteria list, so I'm glad to hear that it is.   As to cable replacement, I have gone though countless pairs of inexpensive Sony MDR-EX51s, MDR-EX71s and a Creative 640. I currently have three Creative 630s--two still in their package unopened as...

Very nice review dfkt! I'm sold! Just ordered a pair.   One question, is it comfortable to sleep with these?     Napilopez, with regards to the SA cable replacement, how much are they?

Quote:   Thanks Napilopez. I appreciate all your helpful tips and suggestions. Now the boring part comes: waiting for delivery. I'm on the west coast, so it's going to be at least a week before I get my hands on them. I'll post my comments once I receive them and test them out. I'll make...

Quote: I wasn't able to get it for your awesome price of $109, but I was able to negotiate a price of $119.99 + FS from J&R. So my order is in and it should ship by tomorrow, according to my salesguy.    It's interesting with J&R--perhaps with all NYC electronics merchants--but one...

Libertad, thanks for your comments. They provide useful perspective. Do you still have this pair? What are your thoughts now--13 months since your last post in this thread about the Panasonics? They went as low as $109, but are around $129 right now. Quote:

  Quote:   You're right, I don't expect the RE0 to lower in price any further, but I also don't expect them to bounce back up, to say $99 from $79. That is why this little bump from $109 to $129 surprised me. I'm wondering--and asking about on here--whether this is a temporary little...

  Quote: dfrost, thanks very much for pointing me back to that post. If you can believe it, I did actually read all 900+ post in here prior to my first post but I'll admit I don't remember the contents of every post. I just re-read that post again. Sounds very reassuring to me. I'm...

Quote: If this was what factually transpired, then yes, Treoo really stepped up. I would appreciate such customer service.   BTW ClieOS, since you've tested out a lot of 'phones, I was wondering if you've tried Panasonic's RP-HJE900. If you have, can you give a comparison of the...

  Quote: I specifically included the link to the original post so that anyone could take a look at it--as you seem to have done--and take it in context. Had I wanted to obfuscate, I would not have provided the link to the original post. My point was that I appreciated a Russian poster...

Quote:   I ask because most products go down in price as time passes--even the Head Direct RE-0 'phones kept lowering its price--but I understand there are exceptions to the general rule. I wanted to get some feedback from you guys. Many places sell this for about $250, then I see them...

Quote: Yes, JR and a couple of other NY sellers. I'm wondering if they ever go on sale. Or will the price stay constant at $129 going forward?

Yep, appreciate the review Joker. I'm really liking the description--and price--of the Panasonic. Where are you finding them for ~$100? The lowest I see them being offered--non ebay--is $129. Quote:

  Quote:   LFF, you can't really fault me for being overly cautious, can you? You would agree, would you not, that it's a good idea for any potential customer/consumer--including myself--to do plenty of due diligence prior to making a big purchase?   Again, I'll say that I am...

Ok, my post appeared. It must have been moved to a queue for a MOD to approve.   I am interested in the DBA-02, but I also want to do some thorough due diligence before making such a risky purchase.   I initially had assumed Fischer Audio GmbH was German as well, given the "GmbH" suffix...

Quote: rawrster, I liked your very detailed review of this IEM. Much appreciated.   As someone who is studying some law, it does matter to me where things are made, distributed and sold. It's great that you believe your seller will honor the warranty, but your seller is not legally...

Fischer Audio is a little Russian company with products--specifically the DBA-02--made in China. Throughout the 900+ posts, no one has brought this up for discussion? It doesn't strike as being questionable to anyone? I concede Russia, or the former USSR, has some of the best technical...
