How did they brake? They seem so sturdy to me....mind I keep mine in a small pocket tin

Monoprice 8320  If you could go IEM route...there are many rave review about these..They look stylish enough??? AND @ only $7 wow! If you get them change the tips before you judge them, I think you will be pleasantly surprised by these babies.

Monoprice 8320 &  MEElectronics m9 Both receive reviews here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/478568/multi-iem-review-265-iems-compared-dunu-i-3c-s-and-dn-19-tai-chi-added-11-21-12  

Thank you Vinland...this is great advice...I am sure I can set the bitrate in the preferences option/settings before ripping.  

Hi, have you considered monoprice 8320? They are very affordable ($7) and score high on the full spectrum.  

For style how about the type I use they really turn heads and they are very warm in the winter  

I notice a background hiss on my iPhone, am I stuck with that because of the device/track or are their inexpensive attachments that can neutralize it? I remember yesteryear Dolby used to have 'noise reduction' so something inexpensive along these lines.   Thank you for your help.

Shock I say....   After years of using generic earphones I decided to ask a few questions/read a few reviews and bought myself a pair of JVC xtreme xplosives -FX101.   I first tried them on my iPhone the only album I had on their was Selena Gomez (blush) the track was 'who says'.  ...

JVC-FX101 just buy them, you CAN'T go wrong!

great!

WOW! This is the bomb!  

Thank you, will buy them...I just wanted to know if they were still a good choice.   Thanks baseheadspl  

Hi Newbie here After reading a lot of reviews here on head-fi I bought myself a pair of JVC HA-FX101 (nice one)   I have nothing to compare the sound quality to (and I don't yet have the decernment to know good from bad) So I am looking to buy something else. I was reading about other...

Hi, Is it possible to upload a track to head-fi? Or is there somwhere I can upload it and post a link?   Thanks,

Hi Headfiers, I was blown away whilst listening to an audio track from Ted Ciuba (Think and grow Rich: Desire), available here:    http://holomagicwealthprogramming.com/inv.sample.1-desire.hwp.html   The track has sounds that appear to circle around in a 3d that is quite remarkable...

I have heard that the AKG K240s are definitely not as good as the beyer DT770s   Anyone back that up?   Also what ohm should i go for on a headphone-all-rounder?   Thanks again

Hi,   Just when I thought I had it all-sown-up just look at the list of contenders.   The Beyerdynamic DT-770 has been suggested few times thanks tim3320070.   AND this is a very precise version of the  DT-770 32 Ohm 2005 edition in Blue (9wave NW Studio Pro Earbuds) Sony Z700...

Wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions.   With all the endorsements I have got it down to 2; FA-003 & K240   It isn't that I haven't considered others (esp synnheiser range) but the overwhelming advice as the budget all-rounder points to these two.   Having a pair of neutral...

thanks for that wjd,   I am so grateful for sharing with me your experiences.   I have been recommended twice now the FA-003 as an alternative to the K240s. The FA-003 reviews (here on head-fi) are very compelling. Unfortunately they are not in stock anywhere at present (including UK)...

Thanks, macrocheesium for your additional suggestions.   i considered the sr60i over the sr125 as i had just came accross more rave reviews for the sr60is.   Again good to hear someone else endorse the FA-003, I'd never heard of them.   i am also trying to pick a decent amp to go...

i just mean who are these made by? where have they come from? is it a reputable manufacturer?   Thanks

Thanks nyjets28 checking them out now...do they have a pedigree of evolution? so-to-speak ('fa-003' never heard anything of these)

thanks wje,   you returned the 240s because of the lack of comfort?   would you rate the 240 Sound compared to HD555?   Also what is 595 mod?   thanks again

Thanks Kunlun  

Hi,   Did you ever come up with a satisfactory answer? I am thinking of buying one of these but which is best all rounder?
