what are you encoding in? I have a 3g ipod and when i encode albums in lossless it will start skipping songs because the harddrive does not spin up often enough to put the next song in the ram. when i put stuff in 320 or lower i have no problem though.

I have the 2x and love them, but either should make should make everything sound better. the encoding just determines how much better. I'd never go lower than 128kbs though, 320-lossless if you can.

I never want to upgrade again

here's a portable case I made last night it houses my sr-71 and ipod it also holds my ProPhonic's, ex71's and extra batteries Thanks to ImageShack for Free Image Hosting

Just give them a couple days of burn in and by then you should have perfected your inserting technique. If they still don't seal with ease and without vaseline go to the audiologist and get them re-fitted. For $800 They should be perfect and not need vaseline. You probably just need some...

I have been trying to find the Beyerdynamic DT 531's but the only place I have found that still sells them won't ship to the U.S.. I am starting to give up and look at their younger siblings the DT 440 and DT 880. From what I've heard they seem to have the closest sound for a similar price. I...

I'm glad that I'm not alone but it still sucks that it can't be fixed. At least I don't have to re-encode all of my CD's

A 200gb Ipod PVP until that or something better comes out I'm done .

when I put apple lossless files on my 3G Ipod it will skip every third or fourth song after it has played the first two or three songs perfectly. I called apple and asked them about this, but since warrenty was over they wouldn't speak unless I paid more. In hopes to save the little cash I still...

I was looking at the audiocubes headphones and I noticed three sony cans bearing a slight resemblance to the Qualia. I have never heard anything about them and I want to know something. Anyway they're the MDR-SA... series. Share your knowledge, please

I agree, you probably won't here much of a change in the e2's. The 280's might take to an amp a little more but there still shouldn't be a huge improvement in them either. However, an amp can only make them better so when you get one(as you surely will now that your addicted) look at the xin...

If your willing to spend the money needed to get the Shure E5's you might as well look into custom IEM's like Ultimate Ear and Sensaphonic. I have the Sensaphonics and they sound great from an ipod unamped, my upgradeitis is all but cured thanks to them .
