I just ordered the ATH-A700's. Well within my price range, and I liked the positive comments on them. Plus they look pretty cool! I'll let you know how I feel about them when they arrive.

Sorry, I should have posted that. I'd like to keep it lowish, $150 max. I see the Sennheiser HD555 fits that range easily.

I figured I'd post here rather than start a new thread... I just moved into a condo, from an apartment that was over a garage with no neighbors, so now watching movies at night with the volume turned up to where I like it is out of the question Just looking for a good set of headphones I can...

I just bit the bullet and ordered a pair of lightly used SE530s from eBay. Currently I'm using the E3G so I'm looking forward to seeing how they compare. I guess if I don't end up liking them, they'll just go back on eBay again, so I guess I feel that I'm not risking much.

Has anyone tried out the Binaural Beats? It sounds like depending on which one you listen to, it'll help you keep alert, or relax, or dream, or sleep deep.

Just for reference, I find that the metal coathangers from Wal-Mart give me a much wider soundstage and tighter bass than hangers from Target or K-Mart.

To my ears... nothing

Pfft... try scuba diving! Started doing that a year ago, have already bought the equivalent of 2 sets of gear when I decided I wanted a new configuration, and there is still more I want! $1000+ flashlights $1500 underwater camera housings $2000 custom drysuits (I live in a cold water...

I'm using Shure E3Gs and hear no hiss at all with my 3G Nano. And yes, 16 gigs would have been awesome. Oh, and another comparison from the old iPods I haven't seen here... the screens seems to be VERY scratch resistant. Haven't seen one appear yet on mine. AppleInsider said they took a coin...

When I was recently shopping around for a new DAP, I looked pretty closely at the new Zen that is coming out. It's a slick looking little device. But quite a bit of my music was purchased from the iTMS, so that pretty much meant I'd be getting another iPod. Which is fine, I ended up getting the...

Well, I'll share my experiences here as soon as I get my medium olives. I figured medium would be the correct size since that was the size I used when I used the ultrasoft rubber tips, and the yellows fit me well too. I'm mainly looking for a bit more comfort, and possibly a bit more isolation...

Sweet! I ordered a set of 5 pair off eBay... I really need to make my **** bigger And those other reasons sound good too... I'm listening to my nano now and my right ear itches a bit...

I haven't looked into IEMs much since I bought my Shure E3Gs a few years ago, and I see Shure now has some coated black foam tips in addition to the standard yellow foams. Is there any difference between these as far as isolation and comfort go, or is it mostly a matter of how long each will...

Hmmm... can you exchange a pair of perfectly working phones?

I have some E3Gs for my 4G iPod (20 gig) which has actually been replaced by a 3G nano (8 gig). Will I hear much of an improvement if I upgrade to the 530s? I'm pretty happy with what I have, but I would like stronger bass without sacrificing all the other detail, and it sounds like these are...

I've been using a 4G 20gig iPod with a pair of Shure E3Gs for the past few years. I just received a new 3G 8gig Nano the other day, and while I wasn't planning on doing any upgrading of my headphones just yet, reading about the new Shure products is making me consider picking something up. I use...

I'm thinking about buying a nicer set of headphones to replace my Sharp MD-33's. I'm actually happy with the sound of the MD-33's for the most part, but I would like more bass, and the super long cord drives me nuts. I use a 4g iPod as my source, straight out of the headphone jack. I'm not...

Yeah, it's one of Chicago's nicknames I've heard before, so I thought I'd use it I think we'll be near Michigan Ave., so I'll have to stop by and see what they have. Do Apple stores just sell Apple products, or do they sell 3rd party items there too. Could I buy Shure canalphones there, for...

Picket it up from the post office over my short lunch break, and had time to synch it to my laptop at home before I had to come back to work. Haven't had too much of a chance to play with it yet, though from what I've done, I like. It sounds pretty good through my Sharp MD33's, but again, I...

I have the Sharp MD33's as well. Not familiar with the Sony's. I basically agree with the above poster. Mids are excellent, bass is good and sounds natural, though if you like tons of bass you'd probably want to look elsewhere. Everything is very detailed, which is good, though the highs can be...

I remember reading an article a few years ago where a guy used a COATHANGER for an interconnect, and it worked just fine. Brian

It seems the original Indigo is slowly dissapearing, though I've found a couple of places that have it for around $130 - $150, though I think I'll have to call them to find out if they're actually in stock. Brian
