Can anyone comment on the RX700s compared to the e2c's? I'm trying to figure out if It'd be a step down from my recently broken Shure's. I'm assuming the isolation won't be as great just based on the fact that the JVCs are closed cans vs. the IEM Shures.

Well, I went with the Denons and the E5 amp, although I am going to look into some of these suggestions for myself at a later date. Thank you everyone and happy holidays!

Thank you everyone for the responses. sugrhigh - unfortunately there are no stores in the area where I can audition headphones with her scytheavatar - +1 for the denons compuryan - hmmm...have to look into that Towert7 - I was under the impression that there is a large difference...

Hello, I'm shopping for a pair of headphones for my sister and I'm stuck. It would be for use with an iPod (main), computer (second) so it seems some portability. I was thinking closed cans that don't require an amp with a budget between $100-140 shipped. She's no audiophile; listens to...

Anyone heard of the Sansa™ e280? Someone recommended it to me....8gb flash player.

Well what are the pros and cons of flash based players vs. the hdd ones? From what I can tell it's just larger hdd's more apt to skip (hdd) instead of flash based ones, less likely to, although with smaller storage space?

My shures have gotten bored with my skipping cd player, so it's time for me to finally get something newer. I'm looking for an mp3 player that I'd be able to use while I'm out and about, aswell as when I'm working out. I've been told only flash-based players offer that, are there other...

The title is pretty self-explanitory, but I'll say it again. I'm looking for a reputable place to get some e2c's from that would hopefully arrive at my place in about a week max. I'm considering newegg ($85 shipped) as my last resort for speedly delivery AND price, because I need these by next...

Cool, thanks jink. I'm just glad I'm not the only guy who's ever been paranoid about getting something new online. I'm still scared I may not notice a difference between the new phones and what I'm using now or something silly like that, but the more and more I read about these the less worried...

Well I'm sorry for never ordering anything online before

Just thought I'd post a thank you to you guys before I order the A500's I decided on. You all were very informative and helped my final decision a ton. One last thing, Is there anything I should know about ordering from audiocubes before I place my order? Like how long it usually takes...

Are the HD590's better than the A500's, if openess wasn't an issue?

How's the MS-1 compare to the A500 if open or closed wouldn't matter? Also, by portable I mean just being able to wear em as a passenger in a car etc.

Can any of you guys comment on the A500's?

Hi. Someone over at another board suggested I come here for insight from you guys about getting my first pair of "decent" headphones. I've read a few threads here and there around these forums, and have done some off and on research for about a month now. I didn't want to hijack the "Need some...
