Quote: No thanks. Whether I get the mc2 or hf2, I'm getting the mic version (as opposed to the mc5 or hf5) because it has a mic and music controls.  Would the mc2s be better than the Bose IE2s that I have now?  I'm willing to spend the $110 for the hf2, but I was happy with the Bose IE2...

How are Etymotics in terms of value? Like Bose, Monster, Beats, etc are obviously way overpriced for what you get. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I bought these before I knew much about IEMs (although I still don't know very much haha) and while I've looked into buying some good IEMs, they're just not high on my list of priorities right now. It may be moving up in priority though because now it seems like the right ear bud isn't working...

I thought about that, but I feel like with electrical tape, it usually doesn't stick to itself well in a situation like that (i.e. around a wire).  Am I wrong in this regard?

My earbuds have started fraying and I was wondering what the best thing to do would be.  Would I be able to get a heat-shrink tube on there?  Any recommendations?   Thanks!

I'm looking for a good pair of bluetooth earbuds.  I'm not really sure what's good or not.  This I'm looking at right now: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-Bluetooth-HBH-IS800--ear/dp/B001GXR1P2/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1316932639&sr=8-13...

Wait I'm confused...I thought the Bose IE2's were IEM's....what's the difference between earbuds and IEM's?

Would you consider them better than the Bose IE2's?  (In terms of build quality, sound quality, etc.)

Quote: In the thread from the second post, the iBeats didn't receive great ratings. And I don't have $200+ for Turbine pro golds...

I'm pretty confused by that thread...I listen to stuff like alternative and pop and stuff...I also use my earbuds with my computer to watch videos (like reviews and whatnot) so voice is kind of important.

I know I'll probably sound like a total noob among all you audiophiles, but here goes: I had Bose IE (1's I guess) and Bose offers this replacement service where you can get the newest one for half price, so I'm trading them in for the IE2 earbuds, but I'm not sure if I should keep the IE2's...

Can Dolby Headphone be used with the PS3 though?

Okay so I was thinking about getting the Logitech F540 for my PS3 gaming, but then I found out it was stereo.  Is there much of a difference between stereo and surround sound?  And should I get the Turtle Beach DSS or something to make it surround sound?   By the way, I'll be using them...

So is there any way I can buy the audio filter? and put it back on?

:O okay and could ear wax get in the inside and damage it?

Yeah, so I forgot my earbuds in my jacket pocket after a long car trip and I was really tired and I did laundry...I didn't really check my pockets and I found my Bose earbuds after the wash, so they didn't go through the dryer.  The little metal mesh screen thing that is inside the earbud part...
