Would the savings really be worth it to you after shipping to Germany? You must be able to find these refurb'd cheap somewhere, I know I didn't pay too much more than this for the one I bought off amazon a few weeks ago.

"The DAC/amp is portable with 20 hours of battery life… It’s… exactly what I was looking for."

I'm kind of shocked nobody has mentioned that if the OP puts rockbox on that ipod then folder browsing and drag and drop file transfer will both be possible.

I say again, these are amazing.

Mine showed up exactly one week after ordering and I couldn't be happier with them! Amazing 'phones.....

Just got home from work to see a couple packages for me! My Pl-30s and Image s-2s came in. I must say I am much more impressed with the Pl-30 than the Klipschs. The Klipsch seem to have a weak midrange and the music just seems plain. The Pl-30s on the other hand just sound great, the bass...

Seller: adgtron

I just picked a pair of these up as well, but not before emailing sennheiser and comfirming that the seller was indeed authorized. Can't wait to try them out, let us know how they are working out for you after a little more use!

Quote: I was not refering to any of the any specific 'phones that you listed.   Quote: I saw that a couple days ago, before I figured out they were of decent quality. Alas, the sale now seems to be over.     But anyways, I just picked up a sansa fuse to replace the zen...

So really it seems for this price range a person is better off going with one of these lesser known companies, from china, that makes a decent 'phone but has to sell them a bit cheaper than a more well known brand that can charge more because they have that brand name...   Edit: You know its...

Ok as I mentioned I wanted to start buy buying a few pairs of fairly cheap 'phones just to figure out what I like in an IEM. I've got a pair of soundmagic pl-30s and klipsch image s2s on the way. Can anyone throw out a reco for another good set in the <50$ range? I'm thinking about the Altec...

I could go back to driving my truck to work for a few years for what those klipsch custom-3s cost. I'm not quite ready to spend that kind of change. Yet. As for the mc3/5s that might be an option, I've never heard of them but then I've never heard of 1/2 these brands before. I'll look into the...

Well first off I want to say what an incredible forum you all have here. I can't begin to wrap my head around the wealth of information on here! Now I'll say I'm sorry now for the rambling I'm about to do as I tend to carry on.   Lets just say I've always been a fan of quality sounding...
